Principal's Message:

Each week I will send out The Falcon Feathers with an overview of the upcoming week and important information for you and your child(ren).
  • We had a great first two days of school. I look forward to our first full week of school. As a reminder, Monday is Late Start for our district. The gates will open at 9:40 and school begins at 9:54.
  • This Thursday evening is Back to School Night. The night will start at 5:30 with a PTO pizza fundraiser. At 6:00, we will have a community meeting in the Multi-Purpose Room. Lastly, classroom teachers will be having two informational sessions at 6:25 and 7:00. These session will provide the same information, so only one session attendance per your child's teacher is needed. More detailed information will be provided later this week.
  • One last reminder, please use the crosswalks when you are in the parking lot. It will help to keep us all safe and is a good model for our students.
Thank you,
Mrs. David
 

Golden Egg Spotlight- Meet Mr. Ronnie

Thank you to Mr. Ronnie, Fairgrove's amazing custodian! Here are a few of his superpowers!

Summer Superstar: Our incredible custodian was working non-stop throughout the Summer Blast program. After Blast was over he deep-cleaned classrooms and refreshed outdoor areas. He put in countless hours to make sure our school was spotless, safe, and fully prepared for day one.
Lunchtime Leader When the lunch bell rings, he is the key to keeping the cafeteria running seamlessly. Managing trash, wiping down tables, and keeping the flow moving, he makes sure our lunch periods are smooth and stress-free for both students and staff.
Connecting with Kids Beyond keeping the campus shining, what truly sets him apart is his heart for our students. Whether it's a warm greeting in the morning, a high-five in the hallway, or an encouraging word during lunch, his positive energy brightens everyone's day.

Thank you for your tireless dedication to making our school a clean, welcoming, and safe place to learn and grow!

Thank to the PTO for styling our MPR with this year's theme- SOAR. ROAR. EXPLORE! It looks amazing.
Also, thank you to the PTO for providing coffee and treats for the Coffee and Kleenex presentation for TK/K parents.
