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.  The students and staff have been great to start the school year.  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 a new school year with such dedication..

On Friday, September 11, we will participate in the district wide 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 for your support in making Preparedness in Action Day a meaningful

experience for our students. Please talk to your student about taking every drill and scenario seriously, and always if they see something to say something.  Together, we are building the skills and awareness needed to respond calmly and effectively in the event of an emergency.

Go Falcons!
