We are excited that you will be joining our FAPA family! However, if you have not done so already, you must complete the online registration ASAP. You could lose your spot at FAPA if your registration is not completed in a timely manner.

Families should have received an email from enrollment detailing how to complete the online registration. It should be done on a desktop or laptop computer since it does not work using a cell phone. If you need help completing the process, please call us and schedule a time to come to the office and we can help you.

Please make sure that your student is with you as they need to sign the student agreement.

Don't lose your spot, complete the process today. You will get a confirmation email once the process is completed. If you have any questions please contact Student Records through the Live Chat button in OASIS or call us at 951-252-8811 between the hours of 7:30 am - 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday.

The Springs theme for the 2021 - 2022 school year is "Getting Back is Only the Beginning." We want to start the year off with a little bit of fun. SOOOOOOOO, instead of wearing uniforms for the first day of school, we invite all of our students to join us in a "flashback" to 1985, the year Marty McFly was accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean automobile by his eccentric scientist friend Doctor Emmett "Doc" Brown.

Dig in your parents/guardians closet and get our their flyest 80's fashion and celebrate with us!

We hope you will join us as we start the year off with a tribute to the 1980s! Let's enjoy our first day on our new site with a little bit of fun! Remember, your fashion sense must be school-appropriate.

By the way, brush up on your 80s trivia, it might come in handy.

This year's orientation will take place on August 10th, 2021. During orientation, families will pick up any school-issued materials, uniform items, temporary school ID, and any items needed for the first day of school. You can come anytime between the hours of 9:00 am and noon, or 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm.

This is also our first picture day. Students are not required to wear uniforms for picture day. If you miss orientation, the next opportunity to take pictures will be September 17th.

If you are unable to attend orientation on the 10th, you can come on August 16th between the hours of 9:00 am and noon. However, we will not be taking school pictures on this date. You will need to take pictures during our make-up day on September 17th.

Please contact the office at 951-225-7100 if you have any questions regarding orientatin.

This is the final boarding call! Flight 2021 - 22 is getting ready to depart the gate for our next journey. Please join us in a bon voyage celebration!

Springs Charter Schools is committed to the health and safety of our students and staff. As we have done throughout the course of this pandemic, Springs will continue to meet the required COVID-19 mitigation measures to provide the safest possible in-school experience for the 2021-22 school year. Our planning for this school year is based on the most current guidance and requirements from the California Department of Public Health 1 (CDPH) and local health agencies. As we have learned through this pandemic, we will continue to monitor and adjust these guidelines as new data or recommendations evolve.

Based on the most current CDPH published health rules for K-12 schools, students and families can expect the following this fall...

• Full-day in-person instruction and normal weekly schedules will return to pre-pandemic operations at all Springs student centers.
• Additional supports will be offered for ongoing mental, emotional, and academic needs.
• Nutrition Services will continue to offer free meals to all students daily.
• Springs will continue to offer a vast variety of K-12 homeschool, independent study, and virtual learning programs to serve students who choose to learn remotely.

Updated Virus Transmission Mitigation Safety Measures

Current county and state public health orders are requiring that we provide the following:

1. Face coverings while indoors at school sites. At this time, CDPH has stated that all students, staff, and visitors will need to wear masks while indoors. This is regardless of vaccination status. Per CDPH, face coverings will not be required when outdoors.
2. Daily symptom and temperature screening of students and staff, requiring parents/students and staff to indicate they are symptom-free and fever-free each day of attendance.
3. Hand sanitizing stations and signage throughout each campus, and universal handwashing and hand sanitizing protocols at all levels and on all campuses.
4. Contact tracing and close contact exposure screening. Students who are placed on quarantine/extended illness will receive independent study assignments.
5. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for staff members, as required by job classification.
6. Filters will be replaced on a schedule, per manufacturer instructions.
7. Daily cleaning and sanitizing of classrooms and common spaces.

As mentioned above, we will continue to monitor and adjust these guidelines as new data or recommendations evolve from the California Department of Public Health. Springs Health Services Department and school administration will continue to keep you updated as new information or changes become available.

We look forward to welcoming our students and staff back full-time in August!

This is the last day to order uniforms in time for them to arrive for orientation.

All students attending Flabob Airport Preparatory Academy wear uniforms.

Our uniforms consist of grade-designated polo shirts and bottoms. Students are expected to report to school in the proper uniform daily.

Designated polo shirt colors are listed below:

• Navy Blue Polo/Hoodie (Grades 6 - 8)
• California Blue/Teal Polo/Hoodie (Grades 9 - 11)
• Black Polo/Hoodie (Grade 12)

Be sure to order the CORRECT color and size.

Polos/hoodies/sweatshirts may not be modified in any way.

Appropriate bottoms include tan (khaki), navy blue or black pants, capris, shorts, skirts, and jumpers. Bottoms must be appropriate in length (extremely short bottoms will not be allowed). Bottoms may not have excessive rips, holes, or other decorative items. Leggings may not be worn as pants.

FAPA Zip Hoodies are available in navy blue or black. Students may wear either color.

Students may elect to wear their own sweatshirts (or hoodies) as long as they are the same grade-level color. No writing of any kind can be on the sweatshirts or hoodies. FAPA sweatshirts may be worn at any time. The FAPA polo MUST BE worn underneath the sweatshirt/hoodie.

All clothing is to fit appropriately without excessive sagging or tightness.

In addition to wearing FAPA designated uniform items, we adhere to all Springs Dress code policies as outlined in the I CAN Student/Parent Handbook. The handbook will be available during orientation.

Click the buttons below to order your polo or sweatshirt. All shirts will be shipped to the school (this will save you shipping charges) and will be available for pickup during orientation in August. Because these are custom orders, they can't be returned and we are unable to refund the cost of the shirt.

When you order, please include the students' name(s) in the PRIVATE NOTE section of the order.

Please email timothy.fuentes@springscs.org for any questions regarding uniforms.

Great news! Springs Charter has been very fortunate to receive funding not only for summer school this year but for after-school extended learning programs in the 21-22 school year. As partners in your students' education experience, we want your input as we move forward with plans.

Our intent is to provide opportunities for a variety of experiences that focus on creativity, play, and academic support. In the survey below, please let us know if you would want your student (s) to participate in after-school activities, which activities you are most interested in, and which days you prefer. We are considering Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Any FAPA afterschool extended learning program plans next year will be on campus, supervised by school staff, and provided at NO COST to families. Any arrangements for aftercare after these programs are complete for the day would be the responsibility of the parent or guardian to coordinate.

You may fill out one survey for your family (just list all of the names of the students interested). Based on the responses to this survey, we will finalize the plan and then send registration information to parents.

You can access the survey by pressing the button below.

Thank you for your feedback!

Our STEAM program allows students to complete collaborative hands-on projects. This approach allows students to improve their problem-solving and critical thinking skills as they develop invaluable competencies in leadership, team building, creativity, and communication. These are all 21st-century skills that students will need in their college and/or careers.

This means that students will need supplies to complete their designs. Due to recommendations that each student has their own set of materials, you will see that many of the items on our list are "bulk." However, please feel free to donate less than the "bulk" requested. If you would like to help fill our maker space with supplies please click the button below.

Springs Charter School is hiring. We have several positions open for the upcoming school year. If you know of family or friends who are looking to work in the field of education. Please make sure that they consider working with us. They can search for open positions at: https://www.edjoin.org/springscs.
