Falcon Families Hosting……
Shop the Bookfair
Open Morning & Evening Dates!
This year in partnership with the Falcon Families SFES is hosting family Bookfair shopping times.
Instead of hosting large groups in the cafeteria, we wanted to structure this activity in order to promote families shopping together. Grade levels will host a fun activity in their pods or classrooms, and families will be able to shop with all of their students across the school at designated times to ensure that it is not too crowded. This is for all grade levels 4K-4th.
Bookfair open dates are:
Wednesday 11/4-11/13

7 Days Until Election Day - November 3rd Facilities Referendum
One component of the 2026 Facilities Referendum is a proposed expansion of the northeast side of the High School that would include new science classrooms and labs, CTE food/culinary space, a STEM lab (science, technology, engineering and math), and the library.
But before we look ahead, let’s take a look back at our High School Classrooms!
THEN
This 1970 yearbook photo captures the science classroom decades ago, complete with chalkboards, lab stations, and the original shower station.
NOW
Fast forward to today, and the classroom may look a little different, but some things are surprisingly the same. The chalkboards have been replaced with whiteboards, while the shower station and overall classroom layout remain the same.

How will the November 3rd Facilities Referendum impact your taxes?
If approved by voters, the proposed $65.7 million facilities referendum is estimated to have a maximum tax impact of $16 per $100,000 of property value on the debt levy.
By paying down loans from the 2016 Middle School referendum early, the Board saved nearly $5 million in interest and eliminated eight years of payments. This proactive planning helps invest in our elementary and high schools while minimizing the tax impact on residents.

Kwik Trip Fundraiser Update and Sincerest Apology:
There is a MISTAKE on the Carwash Gift card form. They sell for $40 and NOT $25. We're sorry for the confusion on this. If you have already sold some, please reach out to see if the patron would be willing to still purchase for $40, otherwise please refund their money. From here on out, they sell for $40. We apologize again for the confusion. Look for an IC message to reiterate this change as well, however we wanted to let families know as soon as possible. Thank you for supporting our Falcon Families PTO!!
