A Message from the Desk of Mr. Donahue

Falcon Family,

It has been a tremendous start to the school year. I know it is hard to believe, but we are nearly to the interim period of the first grading period. Please utilize this newsletter for some very important information for the rest of the school year. We have included photos of our administrative team and office staff for your convenience. For the students, I commend them for transitioning to our new expectations of no electronic communication devices at all during the school day. It is a big change for them and for the most part, they are doing very well with the transition.

On Friday, September 12, 2025 we will be participating in the districtwide Preparedness in Action Day. The goal of this day is for students to understand the importance of being prepared for a number of scenarios and to learn safe responses to different situations. As we know, practice makes perfect - especially in setting good habits. We will practice numerous emergency drills throughout the school year.

As always, we want to thank our local law enforcement officers, fire departments, and first

responders for their ongoing partnership and support in helping us carry out these important preparedness activities. Their collaboration ensures that our schools remain safe learning environments for every student.

Thank you in advance for your support in making Preparedness in Action Day a meaningful

experience for our students. Together, we are building the skills and awareness needed to respond calmly and effectively in the event of an emergency.

Go Falcons!

Sincerely,

Tim Donahue
