Principal's Message
Dear Fammatre Families,
It has been a pleasure seeing so many of you around campus this past week for goal setting conferences. I hope the time spent meeting with your child’s teacher has been a valuable opportunity to collaborate on supporting your student’s academic, social and emotional growth at school this year. In the coming weeks, I will be sending a survey out to parents, staff, and upper-grade students to receive feedback on this new approach to conferences. Your input is crucial to helping us improve and best meet the needs of our students.
I am really excited to see everyone this Saturday at the Monster Boogie Bash. This fun-filled community event would never happen without the tremendous support of volunteers and the generous donations from families and community members. We are so grateful to each and every one of you for all you do to support our students. Thank you!

This Friday, October 18th, is our bi-monthly Walk & Roll day! However we still need volunteers to make it happen - this week, we are looking for Walking Bus Leaders for each of our locations and 2-3 volunteers to greet our families and help pass out stickers.
Our three Walking Buses are:
Doerr Park - meet at 7:40, depart at 7:45; New Jersey/Foxworthy - meet at 7:45 and depart at 7:50; New Jersey/Curtner - meet at 7:45 and depart at 7:50.
We will need Greeters (passing out stickers) to meet at school at 7:45 and be ready to welcome our walkers!
Please email Alison akwortman@gmail.com or Tina Tina.nordsell@gmail.com as soon as possible, to volunteer for this Friday’s Walk. It’s not a lot of time and we really can’t do this without your support.
