Hello Falcons!
Week 5 of summer break included the half-way point of 2024. With the year officially half complete, what are some things you would keep the same, change, or stop doing to make the second half as successful as possible? Here are FIVE things to know this week:
The Tuesday partnership with Fontana Library and Big Foot Recreation saw the Mad Science experiments, which made learning fun and entertaining. Don't forget: Each week, gear up to crush 50 minutes of math and 50 minutes of bookworm exploration (reading). There is time built in each Tuesday from 11-12p, after the planned thrilling event, to work on both. Stick around post-event to clock in your minutes while snacking on delicious treats from 11 AM-12 PM. Students are welcome to participate no matter what school they attend during the school year and you can also complete your minutes from home and report them to Mrs. Gutierrez at agutierrez@fontana.k12.wi.us
Registration for the 24/25 school year is underway!! This can be done online, including paying your fees and other accounts electronically. You can access your existing account and/or the link to create a new account HERE. You can also visit our website at www.fontana.k12.wi.us and click "online registration" to take you where you need to go. Please reach out to Mrs. Long (clong@fontana.k12.wi.us) or Mrs. Ziganto (sziganto@fontana.k12.wi.us) with any questions related to registration. The sooner we get all students registered, the sooner we can plan for any required/additional resources for the new school year. We are off to a great start as we have nearly 60 students registered in the first week! Thank you and let's keep it going!
Our summer school boot camp starts July 29th and there is still time to register. You can click on our "summer school" tab on the website or you can access the registration form HERE. We have some exciting extension opportunities along with some math and reading kicks starting before school officially begins.
With the new school year registration starting we wanted to share the 24/25 CALENDAR HERE. In addition, we wanted to share that our first day with students for the new school year is Tuesday, September 3rd. Our school doors open at 8a and learning starts at 8:15a. The school day ends at 3:30p each day.
Alternate open enrollment began July 1st for the 24/25 school year. If you, or someone you know, missed the open enrollment deadline, but would still like to consider Fontana, there is still time. You can access alternate open enrollment information on the Wisconsin DPI website by clicking HERE.
BONUS--You may notice a large dumpster and extra traffic in/out of our school. Our safe and secure entrance project is underway. All entrances are still accessible, however, we will keep everyone updated if/when there are changes to the entrance process this summer. We look forward to upgrading our safety/security for the 24/25 school year and beyond.
Have a great week Falcons and don't forget to register and take care of your fees (all available online), if you haven't already!
