Falcon Flyer
Volume 22 Issue 2
Principal's Nest
Thank you for a phenomenal beginning to our school year! The students and staff had a wonderful first full week of school building positive relationships and classroom community. Our students continue to amaze me with their respectful, caring, and enthusiastic approach to each day. The Finley Farms staff and I are excited for what we are capable of achieving throughout this year with such a wonderful group of Falcons.
As we enter the second full week, we invite parents and guardians to campus for our annual Curriculum Night(s). During Curriculum Night you will receive integral information regarding your child's year at Finley Farms. The presentations will cover academics, classroom expectations, special projects, field trips, and how we can best partner together in order to meet the needs of our students. Each session will begin in the multi-purpose room for quick introductions before releasing you to your child's classroom. For families with multiple students, we try to stagger grades over two nights but recognize there may be overlap. Please reach out to your child's teacher to receive the information via email, phone call, or during a personal meeting if your circumstances do not allow you to attend Curriculum Night.
Recently you should have received an Infinite Campus Annual Update email to ensure we are connected to your most up to date information. Please take the time to complete the Annual Update as it helps with our daily communication to you regarding your student(s). If you did not receive the email or are new to Gilbert Public Schools and the Infinite Campus parent portal, stop by the office or give us a call and we are happy to assist.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Curriculum Night(s) as we continue what has been a great start to our school year.
Sincerely,
Keegan Bassett
