🚨PHONE SYSTEM UPDATE🚨

Callers attempting to reach a District school or department may occasionally be routed to a different location.

Calls are being received; however, if you reach a site other than the one you intended to contact, please press 0 to reach the front office and request a transfer to the correct school or department.

While we work with our service provider to resolve the issue, families and community members may also use the staff directory on their school's website to contact employees or departments via email, or submit an inquiry through Onflo.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to restore normal service. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

📚✨ Curriculum Night is almost here, Sailfish families! We can’t wait to welcome you to FAWE and share what an amazing year we have planned for our students! 💙💚 Join us Wednesday, August 19, or Thursday, August 20, for an opportunity to learn more about your child’s grade-level curriculum, expectations, and all the ways we’ll work together to make this a fantastic school year! 🐟📖 Check out the schedule below and mark your calendars! We’ll see you there! 💙

🧠✨ STEAM-ing up some serious thinking! 🚀💙💚 Our upper elementary classrooms have been putting their brains, teamwork, and perseverance to the test with some seriously awesome and fun STEAM challenges! 🛠️🧪📚 From the Marshmallow Challenge and Things in Common Notecards Challenge to Saving Fred the Worm, Helping Harry, and even LEGO Wind Car Races… our Sailfish are learning that sometimes the best solutions come after a few “Well… that didn’t work!” moments. 😂 These challenges aren’t just about building and problem-solving—they’re about collaboration, creative thinking, perseverance, grit, and learning how to keep going when the first (or second… or third 😅) idea doesn’t quite work out. At FAWE, we’re not just building things… we’re building critical thinkers, epic teammates, and hardworking problem-solvers! 💙💚🐟 #FAWEProud #STEAMatFAWE #ThinkCreateCollaborate #GritAndGrowth

📚🍴A Book Tasting for Our 5th Grade Readers!🍴📚 Mrs. Anderson (aka Chef Anderson) served up the perfect recipe for a fantastic start to 5th grade: BOOKS! 👩‍🍳📖✨ Her students enjoyed a delicious book tasting, sampling new titles and discovering their next reading adventures. There were plenty of books to browse, stories to savor, and new favorites to find! 💙💚 Looks like these Sailfish are ready to read their way through 5th grade! 🐟📚❤️ #FAWEProud #BookTasting #MakingWaves

Another exciting week is ahead at FAWE! Check out what's coming up!

💙 #FAWESailfish #MakingWaves

📚✨ CURRICULUM NIGHTS ARE THIS WEEK! ✨📚

Sailfish families, we can’t wait to welcome you to Curriculum Night! 💙💚

This is a great opportunity to learn more about what students will be learning this year and get important information about classroom routines, expectations, and ways you can support your child’s success at home. 📖✏️

Be sure to check your messages for specific times for each grade level.

We’re excited to partner with our FAWE families as we make waves in learning all year long! 🌊🐟

✨ ONE WORD. BIG GOALS. ✨ Mrs. Torounian’s 4th graders are kicking off the school year with a little self-reflection, a little creativity, and A LOT of good vibes! 💙💚 After reading "One Word for Kids," each student picked one special word to guide them through the school year. Words like brave, patient, strong, positive, thankful, and blessed are now more than just words… they’re wearable reminders! 👏 The students turned their words into friendship bracelets to keep their goals, hopes, and wishes close by all year long. 📚✨ Sometimes a little bracelet is all you need to remind yourself: “Yep. I’ve got this.” 💪🐟 We can’t wait to watch these Sailfish LIVE their one words all year long! 💙💚

Raise your hand if you're ready for the first day 🙌 We can't wait to see our Sailfish make a splash at FAWE 💙💚

💙🐟 Welcome back, FAWE Families! 🐟💙

We are so excited to welcome our Sailfish back for another amazing school year! 🎉
