Fullerton Weekly Update

This past week was exiting for the Fullerton community as we welcomed our in-person learners. On Monday, some of our new Lions, our in-person Kindergartners transitioned successfully to their new school and on Thursday we returned our students in grades 1 - 5. It was also encouraging to see our remote learners via Zoom. Many thanks to the Fulerton staff for the time and effort they have put forth to implement these two learning models and the subsequent learning schedule. We look forward to anohter successful week under these learning models.

The Car Tag will need to be placed on the inside of your front passenger side window or dashboard. This will allow Fullerton staff to communicate the dismissal of your child to their classroom teacher. Please see the below video that explains this process.
