The Falcon Flash
Foskett Ranch Elementary Newsletter

NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
This trimester staff has been working on a character traits presentation using the word SOAR (for Falcons Soar). For March, we will focus on the S which stands for stamina and determination. Students and staff will meet in the cafeteria on Monday, March 2nd at 8:30 AM to introduce the trait and learn about their buddy classes (younger students paired with older students) with whom they will meet during the month for follow up/reinforcement activities around this month's trait. This idea is originated by Ms. Grever, and we are thankful for the hours she has spent to put this together.
It is hard to believe this Friday ends our second trimester. Teachers will be preparing report cards to notify you of your child(ren)'s progress towards district/state standards, and students will take report cards home on March 13th.
