• Breakfast will be served 15 minutes earlier each day.
  
• The Recreation Department's Before and After School Program hours will not change.
  
• New bus schedules will be posted on the Web in early July.

The District offers tuition-based, full-time kindergarten programs on a space available basis at select elementary schools. Families should contact their neighborhood school for registration information, or download a packet from the District Web site.

All children enrolling for kindergarten for the coming school year must be five years old by August 31, 2013.

Dear Falcon Families:

Spring has finally hit us in the Pacific Northwest and it is beautiful outside.  Please help your children remember that they need to dress for school and this means no flip flops. Students are running around during PE and recess and flip flops are not safe shoes.  Thank you for your help.

We just completed a great fundraiser.  Thank you for your support of our students.  We are excited that this fundraiser has given us enough money to replace our upper playground equipment.  It is our goal to get this project completed in 2013.  Stay tuned for more information.  In regards to our fundraiser, all purchases will be available for pickup on May 1, 2:30 - 5:15 p.m.  Please make sure you get here to pick your items up during this time as we have no freezer space to store items.

Our PTO is awesome and we appreciate everything they do for our school.  This past month we have been looking for next years officers and May 8 at 6:00 p.m. we will have our election.  Please take note the original meeting was on May 1, but has been moved to May 8 in our library.

Our 3, 4 and 5 grade students are practicing and getting ready to begin testing on our State Measurement of Student Progress (MSP).  Students in those grades will begin the online testing Tuesday, April 30.  Please make sure that your child gets rest and a great breakfast so that he or she is prepared to "rock the test."

Beth Dykman, Principal
