WOW—what a first week! 💚


Our Wolves are off to a strong start! From the moment students walked onto campus, our staff worked together to create connections, establish routines, set expectations, and make every moment matter.

We were also so excited to welcome our families to Back to School Night! Thank you to everyone who joined us, connected with teachers, and took the time to learn more about your child’s year ahead. Your partnership makes a difference!

We would love to hear your feedback about Back to School Night. Please click here to share your thoughts with us.

🐺 Howling with the Community

We are excited for our first Howling with the Community this Thursday from 8:15–9:00 AM! Please join me for coffee and sweet treats as we connect and hear more about how our staff is working to make every moment matter. We’ll also share how we are intentionally building belonging, coherence, and consistency across our campus to create a strong and meaningful experience for every Wolf.

Parents and guardians can enter through the side door in the parking lot beginning around 8:10 AM. I hope to see you there!

As we head into Week 2, we will continue building on our strong start, supporting our Wolves, and creating a school experience where every moment matters.

Here’s to another great week, Wolfpack! 🐺💚

Your Proud Principal,
Mrs Valenta

CAMPUS & FACILITIES UPDATE


We know our families and Wolves are eager for updates on our campus environment. We want to provide our families with an update on our physical campus—both the direct improvements our team has implemented and the status of district-managed projects.

School-Led Improvements
To ensure our students have a secure and comfortable learning environment, our ASA Fontana team has directly initiated and completed several recent upgrades:
  • Upgraded Security Surveillance: A comprehensive security camera system is currently being installed across campus to enhance overall safety and monitoring.
  • Filtered Water Hydration Station: A new filtered water refill station has been installed, giving students easy access to clean drinking water throughout the day.
  • Targeted Climate Control: In response to an outage in one of our classroom AC units, FUSD installed a mobile air conditioning unit to keep the space comfortable until the primary unit's full replacement.

District-Managed Property & Playground Status

Because ASA Fontana leases our campus facility, capital improvements and structural property developments are managed through Fontana Unified School District (FUSD).
While the initial playground installation phase has been completed on the campus, the space requires a few remaining finishing items and final safety inspections before it can be officially opened for regular student use.
  • Prioritizing Student Safety: Ensuring the space fully meets all required safety and operational standards is top priority. The playground area will open once final clearance steps are complete by FUSD.
  • Ongoing Coordination: Our administration remains in regular communication with district staff to receive updates on the project schedule, final inspections, and next steps for completion.

We share our families' enthusiasm for a fully completed campus and appreciate your patience while these final property details are finalized. We will continue to share updates as soon as confirmed timelines are provided by the district.
