As we move further into spring, FVSD continues to make strides in many areas. Professional development remains a top priority and all staff members are working hard to bring the finest instructional strategies and programs to our students. In addition, our work with facilities is progressing rapidly. We have hired an architect, are working on a construction delivery method and are moving forward with our first Measure O bond issuance of approximately $20 million in May. These are exciting times and I am extremely proud of our commitment toward continuous improvement!
As always, thank you for everything you do to support teaching and learning in our District!

It is with great excitement that we announce that Dr. Julianne Hoefer, Director of Educational Services for Fountain Valley School District, has been named the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) State Administrator of the Year (AOY) for Curriculum and Instruction.

IMPACT: Hyundai Roadtrip for Girls!
|
On Friday, March 13th, 45 middle school girls, fifteen from each middle school, Fulton, Masuda and Talbert, spent the day at Hyundai Motor America headquarters for a unique opportunity to learn more about the automotive industry.
The Hyundai Roadtrip for Girls! surely had an impact on these young women as they experienced a behind the scenes look at Hyundai's world class facility. While there, the students learned more about engineering, design, advertising, sales, and market research. We are grateful to partnerships with community leaders, like Hyundai Motor America, for their generous support of our students!

Our theme for 2016-17 is The FVSD IMPACT, as we focus our efforts to IMPACT ALL students in the Fountain Valley School District. We hope that you will join us in documenting your IMPACT on students and the amazing moments happening in our schools by tagging your photos on social media #myFVSDImpact.
