Folsom Families,
Our students and staff have been working incredibly hard throughout this month of October. Walking through classrooms, students are collaborating, writing, growing, and reasoning throughout the day. We also want to give a congratulations to the House of Focus - our October house point winners! We enjoyed celebrating them with a parade and with the raising of their flag in the front of the school on Thursday. Additionally, we wrapped up our October assemblies. We want to affirm our students for their hard work academically and also with character through our awards, moments of greatness, and house points.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.

Together We Champion Our students need time to practice taught skills and our teachers work hard to ensure there is time each day for students to do this. One way is by structuring our academic blocks to allow access to small group and independent practice. Here are Kindergartners engaging in small group practice for many different skills, including phonics and decoding. |
Together We Cultivate We want our students to feel connected and cultivate relationships here at Folsom. One way we do this is through the house system. The House of Focus had a great time with their parade and celebration at the front of the school together. We now start over with collecting points to see who wins next month in November! House of Respect and House of Focus may even be repeat winners! |
Together We Empower Our music performances empower our students to be more comfortable with being on stage and performing. I was so impressed with our fourth grade students who were practicing for their upcoming music performance this week with instruments and singing. They were doing an incredible job and have been working very hard to prepare! |
Together We Prosper We had a wonderful author visit with author Josh Funk! We are grateful to our librarian, Mrs. Buck, for coordinating. We want our students to feel excited about both reading and writing. We also want them to realize that they are authors when they write here at school and that they have the ability to be creative. Creativity is an important skill to encourage in our students! |
