celebrates Blue Ribbon School honor
Fonda-Fultonville's Pre-K-6 students, staff, parents, and guests
filled the auditorium on June 16 to celebrate the end of the
elementary school's year as a U.S. Department of Education
National Blue Ribbon School. The Blue
Ribbon Schools Program honored Fonda-Fultonville as a school
with at least 40 percent of its students from disadvantaged
backgrounds that demonstrates dramatic improvement of student
performance to high levels on state tests. (full

Share your favorite recipe
The research shows that kids who eat healthy
meals do better in school. Our problem is finding a good
assortment of things kids like to eat. We check out the recipe
books and talk to other school cafeteria directors. We get some
good ideas, but we want more!
How better to expand our menu than have you
share your child's favorite recipe?
Anything we cook has to meet federal nutrition
guidelines and we need to be able to efficiently prepare
hundreds of servings—so we can't promise to cook everything! If
you have a recipe that kids like, send it to us. If we use it,
we will give you the credit on our school menu. Send your recipe
to Darla Sandford (dsandford@ffcsd.org)
District still accepting UPK applications
Although Friday, May 7 deadline for all 2010-11
Universal Pre-kindergarten applications is past, residents may
still apply. Students will be assigned on a first-come, first-served
basis should spaces become available.
Learn more about
the process and download an application form.
Is your emergency contact information up-to-date?
If your child became seriously ill at school, could we reach
you? If there were an emergency school closing, how would we let
you know?
Whether for a snow day or some school emergency, school
officials occasionally need to contact parents/guardians with
important information. We rely on the emergency contact
information that you provide at the beginning of each year. But,
people move; phone numbers and e-mail addresses change. In the
event of an emergency, could we reach you? Don't leave things to
chance; please contact your school with any changes to your
emergency contact information.
