Hello Families,


I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the bonus snow day! We are anticipating a productive, learning-filled week at school!


We are excited to announce this year's yearbook cover contest! The theme for the 2022-23 yearbook is "Keep on Truckin'" and the deadline for entries is December 15th.


Brown Bus has adjusted the first two bus stop times due to construction. Please check the brown bus schedule on the website to see updated stop times. As we approach the winter season please be mindful of driving conditions. Please note that due to inclement weather (snow, slick roads, etc.) and the traffic delays caused by the inclement weather that routes could possibly be running :15 minute +/- late. Please be patient, prepared and plan accordingly.


Also, please remember to send warm outerwear for recess and Fit Club. Even though it is fall, we still try to provide opportunities for the students to go outside for fresh air, sunshine, and exercise. Research has shown this benefits learning.


The PTO is sponsoring a fundraiser with Crumbl Cookies in Boise on Friday December 16th from 8am to 10pm. All we need to do is mention Falcon Ridge Charter. It is that easy! These are great as gifts or just for a weekend snack. Who doesn't love cookies?! Then we receive 15% of proceeds for teachers to utilize for classroom supplies.


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


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.


Join us for Ski Night! The deadline for ski night is on Jan. 4th which is just two days after our Christmas break. Please sign up through My School Bucks. We need at least six more participants to sign up for us to be able to have our lessons up there. If you have any questions please contact Tara Clark at tclark@falconridgecharter.org.


I would like to wish each one of our families a blessed Christmas season. Your child is a precious gift to our school.


Sincerely,

Dr. Jorgensen

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.
