Falcon Flyer Meet and Greet Edition
Important Events & Dates from F.AVE
August 10, 2020
Ms. Newton's Notes
Happy Monday Families!
We are kicking off our Meet and Greet week! We will be connecting with families this week to get ready for our first day of school next Monday! We will begin with a video from me giving some specifics about beginning learning. The video is about 27 minutes long and I cover schedules, Wellness Wednesdays, homework, attendance and other virtual learning information. I really tried to be as brief as possible, yet giving you a general overview of how these things look at F.AVE.
Mrs. Newton-Scott's Welcome Video and Overview of Virtual Learning at F.AVE
You should have received information about meeting with your child's teacher by now. Each teacher will schedule times to meet with families to ensure that we are all connected and prepared to work together in this virtual space. If you have not yet heard from your teacher, please reach out to him or her to ensure that they have your email address or you can let me know and I will have him or her reach out to you. We have experienced some glitches with carry over of information through our systems. Not a lot, but some.
We also thought about the fact that some families have not been on our campus and may not know how to access the different areas we have indicated for pick up of student materials. Therefore, we created a quick "home-made" video of our campus and where to go to gather all the things you may need. I want to thank the few teachers and staff who assisted in this quick run of the building! They were real sports to help put this together. A special thanks to Mrs. Cone for making an appearance as Philemon the Falcon!
Every day F.AVE Falcons Rise UP to be:
Risk Takers who
Inquire about global issues.
Striving to be open minded.
Excellent and
Unique in every way. F.AVE students are
Powerful young minds who lead the way!
