Fontana Facilities Update

We know many of our Fontana families have been asking about the installation of the play structure and shade structure. Per our Facilities Use Agreement with the Fontana Unified School District, these projects are the responsibility of the district.

The latest update from FUSD indicates that the plans are still with civil engineers and must reach 80% completion before being submitted to the Division of the State Architect (DSA) for approval. The district is awaiting confirmation from their architect on next steps.

We will continue to share updates as soon as we receive them. Thank you for your patience as we work with FUSD to ensure these much-anticipated improvements move forward for our Wolves.

Counseling Connection🍎

🧠 This Week’s Social Emotional Learning(SEL) Skill: Mindfulness 🌟

Mindfulness means paying attention to what’s happening right now — your thoughts, feelings, body, and surroundings — with kindness and without judging yourself. It helps you slow down, stay calm, and make good choices, even when things feel stressful or confusing.

Practicing mindfulness can make it easier to focus, learn, and show kindness to others. Taking a moment to breathe and notice what you feel can make a big difference in your day. 🧘‍♂️✨

💬 Character Skill Reflections:
  • Why is it important to practice mindfulness? How does it make our body and mind feel?
  • How can practicing mindfulness help with your stress or big feelings?
  • Name 3 things you can do to practice mindfulness today.

If you have any questions or would like counseling support for your child, you can reach Mr. Thornhill at (909) 258-9937 or via email at aodhan.thornhill@asathrive.org

🚸 Permission to Walk To/From School & Release of Liability ​

Dear Parents/Guardians,

If your student plans to walk home after school, we kindly ask that you complete the Permission to Walk To/From School & Release of Liability Form linked here. As a reminder students are to walk off campus and to not wait in front of the school to be picked up in the car line.

This form ensures that we have your consent for your child to walk home safely and acknowledges that the school is not responsible for any incidents that may occur while they are walking.

Please complete the form directly in ParentSquare to ensure your child's safety and compliance with school procedures.

🥤 Reminder: Bring a Water Bottle to School Daily!

To help keep classrooms running smoothly, please make sure your child comes to school with a water bottle daily. Staying hydrated supports learning.

💧 Drinking fountains are available for use throughout the day.

🙏 Thank you for your support!
 

NO Fast Food and Lunch Drop-Off Procedures

Fast food is not permitted at school as it goes against our wellness program. We kindly ask that you do your best not to send your student to school with fast food.

If your student forgets their lunch, please do not bring fast food to school, as we will not accept it in order to maintain compliance with our wellness policy. Instead, your student will have the option to enjoy a free, healthy school lunch.

If you need to drop off a lunchbox for your student, please note that we aim to minimize classroom disruptions. To help with this, please:
  • Clearly label your student’s name on the lunchbox.
  • Encourage your student to pick up their lunchbox during recess or on their way to the lunchroom.
Thank you for your understanding and support in promoting a healthy learning environment for all students.
