Our Wolves Are Back! Ready for 2026!

Happy New Year, Wolves! We hope your Winter Break was filled with joy, rest, and special time with family and friends.

“The magic in new beginnings is truly the most powerful of them all.” – Josiyah Martin

As we return, we are excited to start 2026 strong, diving into meaningful learning, collaboration, and growth. This is a fresh start—a chance to explore new ideas, set goals, and continue practicing the Wolf Ways: Being a Leader, Howling with Friends, Trusting Your Instincts, Staying on Track, and Keeping Our Den Clean. Each day is an opportunity to shine, support one another, and show the strength of our Wolf community.

We can’t wait to see our campus come back to life as we welcome everyone back on Monday and start the new year with curiosity, excitement, and Wolf pride! 💚🐺

Your Proud Principal,

Ms. Valenta 💚🐺

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: Respect 🌟

Respect means treating people, yourself, and your environment with kindness and care. It includes listening when others speak, using polite words, taking care of shared spaces, and valuing the feelings and perspectives of those around you — even when they are different from your own.

Showing respect helps everyone feel safe, welcomed, and included at school while we follow our Wolves Ways. 💙

💬 Character Skill Reflections:

Why is respect important?
How does it feel when someone respects you?
Name 3 ways you can show respect to:
Yourself
Your classroom
Your classmates and teachers at school
