Starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, regular attendance is essential for students gaining the academic and social skills they need to thrive. Research shows that when students are chronically absent (missing 10% or more of the school year or 18 days over an entire school year), they are less likely to read proficiently by third grade, achieve in middle school and graduate from high school.

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support. One of the textbook definitions is:

Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a way for schools to encourage good behavior. With PBIS, schools teach kids about behavior, just as they would teach about other subjects like reading or math.

Students (grades 1-5) can earn STAR Bucks and turn them into grade level bins each day. 

On Fridays selected students can chose prizes from our prize cart. One student from 4th/5th grade is selected to do the Monday Morning Announcements.

What does is mean to be safe at recess?

Stay in designated area.

Report problems to the nearest adult.

Walk to and from buildings/lines.

Use hands and feet safely.

We encourage you to talk with your kids about how they are SAFE, TIMELY, ACCOUNTABLE and RESPECTFUL. 

Use that vocabulary with them at home--these are not just at-school behaviors, they are life-long behaviors.

2026-2027 NEW student enrollment is starting in December 2025. For your child that is currently enrolled with us, there is nothing you need to do. If you have other children not currently enrolled in FUSD, that you need to enroll, please visit our Enrollment Website for more information, dates, and the enrollment application. 

Sibling priority runs from December 1, 2025 - April 17, 2026. Complete the enrollment by April 17, 2026 to have the best chance of keeping your children at the same elementary school.

On February 2, 2026 the district office will be e-mailing home the annual District Reservation Form to all current students via Informed K12. This form serves two purposes. It tells the school where you intend your child to go to school for 2026-2027 and fulfills the District’s mandated annual residency verification. The deadline to return reservation forms is Friday, February 27, 2026. When you receive this form, be sure to complete it and upload the documents requested. We will not be handing out the forms in the office; you must respond to the email. If you do not complete this form, your child will not be placed on a class list for next fall. If you have moved please be sure to provide the office with new residency documentation so that we may update our records.

As we close out the year, the PTA is thrilled to share some of the wonderful activities and events that have brought our community together: Click here to read the PTA newsletter
