Hello Falcons!!
Week 9 of summer break was the second and final week of our summer school boot camp. This two week (10 day) program offered math, reading, and extension/fun activities. We intend to continue this great program each summer as a two week kick start for each new school year. You may have noticed, but our Falcon FIVE has grown to include a PTSO Spotlight each week (#6) as our PTSO is an integral part of our school!! Here are FIVE things to know this week:
For our incoming 4th grade parents you now have band available for this school year. Part of this process is a fitting/introduction, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 22nd from 5-7pm. Sign up for Band Here: https://tinyurl.com/53stnfeu and reach out to Ms. Jacoby (ajacoby@fontana.k12.wi.us) with any questions.
Thank you to the nearly 30 students who attended our summer school program the last two weeks. Students learned, kicked started their learning heading into a new school year, and created amazing projects. They were active in other activities such as golf, archery, croche, and volcano making among other amazing things.
If your son/daughter is interested in giving soccer a try the Geneva Lake United Soccer program is a great place to start. Practices are typically right here in Fontana at Duck Pond! You can find all our soccer info on genevalakeunited.org and sign up links included
Back to school nights are as follows: 4k/5k is August 27th at 5pm, 1-8th grade is August 29th at 5pm and our first day of school is September 3rd. your Falcon can drop off supplies, meet their teachers and check out the school.
Our new and safe/secure entrance project is moving right along. When you come back to school this fall you will be welcomed to a new main office that includes the second set of doors now being locked for safety. This project is set to be done the week of August 26th and we are always working on adjustments to maximize our schools safety while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere.
