Greetings Fuller Falcon Families,
We are excited to welcome everyone back to school tomorrow, Tuesday, April 7 and look forward to seeing our halls filled with energy and enthusiasm once again.
As we return, we are entering the final stretch of the school year—a time that always seems to fly by. This is an incredibly important period for learning, growth, and finishing strong. We want every student to make the most of each day and continue building the knowledge and skills that will support their future success.
Families, we ask that you take a moment to revisit your hopes and dreams with your child. Encourage them to come to school each day ready to learn, focused, and prepared to give their best effort. Together, we can ensure that every student maximizes this time and continues to thrive.
At Fuller, we are guided by our GIFTS each day:
-
Goal-Oriented
-
Inclusive
-
Focused
-
Trustworthy
-
Safe
We will continue emphasizing the importance of staying focused on learning, keeping hands to ourselves, being respectful, and showing kindness to others. These habits not only help create a positive school environment, but they also prepare our students for success far beyond the classroom.
We are looking forward to a wonderful fourth quarter filled with growth, achievement, and celebration. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
The following are important reminders:
