Zoom - Tip of the Week
Use the electronic gestures located in the participant box (shown on the left) to respond to instruction during Zoom. The chat is helpful but it can be a distractor and divert attention toward off-task behaviors. As Fremont Falcons our Actions are Responsible. Keep attention focused during the Zoom meet and interact with the digital gestures. That's the Falcon Way!

Classrooms
Last week the classrooms in Building 2 received a fresh coat of paint and installation of new countertops. Next up will be installation of a new audio-visual system, and drop ceilings with LED lighting. This work will be completed some time in early October.
Media center - Quiet, Please!
Installation of ductwork and ceiling insulation is complete in the media center. Ceiling boards are being replaced enclosing the rafters. During the finishing stage new acoustic ceiling tiles will cover the wooden ceiling. This should keep our Media center noise free and readers focused in a quiet learning environment.
Sad News
This exposed crawl space has been utilized as a large conduit for electrical and radiation heating pipes. Modernization efforts will make this crawl space obsolete but a small hole in the concrete needed to be repaired to prevent water intrusion into the basement of Building 5. In exposing this opening, a majority of the root system from this Magnolia Tree was damaged during excavation, and the tree will need to be removed. Plans are in the works for a replacement Magnolia Tree.
