Good afternoon, FES families!

Thank you to everyone who supported our students during today's Walk-a-Thon! Whether you volunteered your time, donated to support our fundraising efforts, or came out to cheer on our walkers and runners, you helped make the day a tremendous success. We are grateful for the incredible support of our school community.

We celebrated many of our students last night at our Multilingual Assembly. It was a joyful event. Thank you to all the families who showed up to celebrate.

Students are also wrapping up their final round of i-Ready testing. Results will be sent home with students' final report cards so families can celebrate the growth and progress made throughout the year.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Good afternoon families,

As you know, QVSD has had threatening messages the last two Wednesdays in a row. These messages led to lockdowns as a precautionary measure to ensure student safety. Out of an abundance of caution, the district will have law enforcement present on all three campuses throughout the day tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, I will let students know that officers are here to check in on us and help ensure that everyone remains safe throughout the day. I wanted to share this information with families ahead of time so you are not surprised by their presence and so you have the opportunity to have a proactive conversation with your child if you choose.

Since last week’s lockdown, I have investigated several reports of potential threats. At this time, none have been determined to be credible threats. I will continue to take all reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly, and respond according to our discipline matrix and safety procedures.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Respectfully,
Sarah Decker

FES Families,
Today, we celebrated courage at our Puddle Jumper Assembly. I am incredibly proud of how all of your children demonstrated courage throughout the week.
The PTO handed out Walk-a-thon packets today- this is the PTO’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Thank you to our PTO for all they do for our students throughout the school year. This week, they hosted the Reptile Lady assemblies and the book fair. These were wonderful opportunities for our students and we are so appreciative of them!
Early release Wednesdays have now concluded. School will be dismissed at 3:15 each day for the remainder of the year.
Wishing you a relaxing weekend and some time to enjoy the sunshine.
Respectfully,
Sarah Decker
