Greetings Ardenwood Families,

Dragons kicked off the month of October with our biggest school fundraiser of the year, the Dragon Dash. Thanks again to our families, friends, corporate donors, teachers, staff and PTA team for this successful fundraiser.

Dragons are busy with Math Olympiad, Choir, Garden Club, Basketball, Student Council and more. Thanks to all who participated in the PTA Reflections program. Ardenwood wrapped up the month with schoolwide & classroom celebrations--Harvest Festival, Diwali, Dia De Los Muertos and the ever popular Ardenwood Annual Costume Parade.  

November
This Tuesday is election day and a great opportunity for our Dragons to learn more about civics. We will also celebrate the history, culture and achievement of indigenous people during Native American Heritage Month.
  
  • Join us Friday, November 8th for our Diwali Delight Festival. Enjoy performances, henna, rangoli and more! Note: This is a minimum day for grades 1-5.
  • There is no school on Monday, November 11th in honor of Veteran’s Day.  
  • Thursday, November 14th--Dragons will participate in the Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day and celebrate this historic changemaker!
  • We are excited to have parents and guardians attend conferences during the week of November 18th and hear all about your student’s progress during the first trimester.  Sign up for your conference with your student’s teacher. This week is all minimum days for grades 1-5.
  • FUSD will be on Thanksgiving break during the week of November 25th. We are grateful for this time with family and friends!

Safety
Be respectful of pedestrians in crosswalks and do not block driveways or park in red zones. Please stay focused and refrain from using cell phones while driving, especially when in our drive-thru loops. Follow directions of staff supervising our loops and adhere to all safety rules.
