Fallon Middle School Selected as a California Gold Ribbon Winner for 2017
We are very pleased and proud to announce that Fallon Middle School has been named a California Gold Ribbon School by the California Department of Education. The Gold Ribbon Award recognizes schools that have made significant gains in implementing the academic content and performance standards adopted by the State Board of Education, including standards for English, Mathematics, and Science. Dublin High School and Wells Middle School were also selected to receive this recognition for 2017. "The focus of our talented staff on the healthy development of young adolescents, including their social and emotional growth, truly makes Fallon a special place to learn and work," said Principal Sweeney. She added, "We are grateful for the generous support of our parents and community!" Principal Sweeney will accept the award on behalf of the school at a special ceremony on May 4th.

Fallon School Site Council
The Fallon School Site Council (SSC) is composed of faculty members, parents and community members working together to maintain the best educational environment for our students. With that goal in mind, we are asking interested parents to consider nominating themselves or another 2017-2018 Fallon parent. These members are part of the voting membership of the SSC and serve as the representative voice of all Fallon Middle School parents.
We have two open positions for the upcoming school year. Each position is for a two year term. SSC members will be elected by all attending parents in a general election held during our May 15th meeting at 3.30 pm. If elected, members are expected to attend our monthly meetings which are usually scheduled on the second Monday of the month from 3:30 pm to approximately 4:30 pm.
If you're interested in joining, please email with a short
statement of interest t
