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.

Wolves’ Ways: Stay on Track with these Testing Reflections

Students are learning how to demonstrate the Wolves’ Ways during testing — including staying focused, reading directions carefully, and arriving on time.

Encourage your child to “stay on track” by practicing good habits at home too!

Wolves Ways Testing Reflection

Counseling Connection🍎

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

Confidence means believing in yourself and knowing that you can try your best, even when something feels new or challenging. It’s the courage to speak up, ask questions, and keep going after mistakes.

Being confident doesn’t mean being perfect — it means trusting your abilities, learning from your errors, and being proud of your efforts. Confidence grows when we practice, try new things, and remind ourselves that we are capable and worthy. 💛

💬 Character Skill Reflections:

What is something new or challenging you tried recently, and how did you feel after giving it your best effort?
How do you talk to yourself when you make a mistake — do your words help you feel confident or discourage you?
What is one small step you can take this week to build your confidence in something you want to get better at?

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

If you haven't done so already, please make an appointment now with your child’s doctor to ensure that they receive all school required vaccines. You can now request access to your child’s Digital Vaccine Record to provide proof of immunizations.

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.
