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.

Tips for Reducing Test Stress

Testing time can bring nerves! Encourage your child to get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and take deep breaths. Remind them that this is just one way to show what they’ve learned.

Counseling Connection🍎

🧠 This Week’s Social Emotional Learning(SEL) Skill: Attitude & Perception 🌟

Attitude and perception are about how you look at the world and how you choose to respond.

Your perception is how your brain understands what’s happening around you — what you see, hear, and feel.

Your attitude is the way you decide to think and act about it.

Together, they shape how you handle situations, treat others, and solve problems. Having a positive attitude and an open mind can help you feel more confident, stay calm, and make good choices, even when things are challenging.

💬 Character Skill Reflections:
  • Is your perception a choice? What about your attitude?
  • How does your perception affect your attitude?
  • Name 3 things you can do to practice having a positive attitude and perception.

🚸 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.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The health and safety of your child is very important to us here at Allegiance STEAM Academy Thrive. Please do not forget to inform the health office of any health concerns you have regarding your child.

🥤 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.

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.
