We held our first of the year Friday Falcon Flyer Google Meets this morning. We do this every Friday morning during the school year to recognize students for making great choices and SOARing during the school week. Every class has two Falcon Flyer winners-see our picture of this week's honorees. Congratulations also to Mrs. Kohlmeyer's 1st graders for earning Wings tickets during specials. Gooooo Falcons!

We gathered for an all-school assembly on our first day. It was fun to sing our school song and be altogether in the same space. It's going to be an amazing school year!

Folwell families: A reminder about the detour for the first day of school tomorrow! Due to construction on 2nd Street, there will be increased traffic flow to 6th Street, one of the most common routes to Folwell. But there's a better way! Check out our advised route for the Load & Go line at bit.ly/folwellroute. (Approaching from the south is the key!)

At Step Into Learning elementary families have the opportunity to meet their student’s teacher ahead of the start of the school year. Step Into Learning days are Monday, August 25, and Tuesday, August 26.
In the next few weeks, elementary parents and caregivers will receive an email from their school office with instructions on how to make an individual 20-minute appointment. During this appointment, parents/caregivers and their student can meet their student’s teacher(s), have their student assessed, visit with the school nurse, set up their lunch accounts and pins, explore the school’s PTSA, take school photos, and more.
