Fine Arts Classes are Back!

Our fall weekly fine arts focus classes have begun, and clearly, kids are excited! Students are participating in dance, theatre, mindful movement, and more to learn about opportunities in fine arts for middle school and beyond. If you have experience in fine arts you would like to share with our students, please fill out this volunteer form: https://forms.gle/J9PJkmUduhNCYBiW7

Painting Success!

Thank you to those of you who came to Stars Paint the Ceiling. We had an absolute blast and can't wait for everyone to see our ceiling tiles! We heard from many of you that you were double-booked that night, so we will host another event in the spring!

After School Clubs

Fuentes is known for Fine Arts and for our Extracurricular Clubs! From art clubs to sports clubs to academic clubs, we have a club for every child at Fuentes! Check out the clubs that are offering this year and talk to your children about getting involved! View Club List Here

Fuentes Flair

Check out our school store and stock up on your Fuentes Flair! Last year's staff shirts are included ... they're super cute!

School Breakfasts and Lunches

Breakfast and Lunch are not free this year. We are asking all families to fill out the application because it directly affects our school's funding.
