Falcon Ridge Family Updates

September 6, 2022

News and Tidbits

Hello Families,


I hope you had a wonderful three day weekend with your family.


Please save the date for our annual Parent/Teacher conferences on September 28-30. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your child's teacher(s), ask questions, and get involved with your child's education. Last year we had an incredible turnout!


Our theme this year is Keep on Truckin'. Our character development will focus on a growth mindset. This month's character trait is respect. Be sure and ask your student if he/she has earned a Falcon Card.


Falcon Ridge has an active PTO with many opportunities to get involved. Check out this newsletter for this month's activities.


We are glad you have chosen Falcon Ridge Charter School as your school of choice. We are honored to partner with you in your child's education.


Sincerely,

Dr. Jorgensen

Resources for Parents



Good manners for kids to have:



  • Saying “thank you” after something is received, given or exchanged.
  • Using the word “please” when you’re asking for help or would like to receive something you want or need.
  • Looking people in the eye when you greet them or if they’re talking to you. (Once toddlers master please and thank you, then begin working on eye-contact.)
  • Greeting others with “hello” or “goodbye” as well as responding to someone when they greet you.
  • Saying “I’m sorry” or “excuse me.”
  • Holding the door open for others.
  • Not speaking over others, but waiting until it’s their turn to talk.
