Every school, the District Office, and outside organizations uses Peachjar to distribute district-approved e-flyers to families

HIGHLIGHT: Courreges and Newland Elementary Schools Earn California Distinguished School Award - The State's Highest Honor
|
Congratulations to Courreges and Newland Elementary Schools for being named California Distinguished Schools. Every year, the California Department of Education honors K-12 schools for providing an overall exemplary educational program. This is the highest award handed down by the State, and provides greater evidence for all of the wonderful things happening in FVSD!
This is the second California Distinguished School Award for Courreges and the third for Newland. As part of the selection process, applications were completed, and each school highlighted a model program. Courreges spotlighted their Differentiation, Innovation and Technology Program, which places a high emphasis on meeting the diverse needs of their students. Newland shared their Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) program, founded in a philosophy that places a stronger emphasis on each student's conceptual understanding in math.
Please join me in congratulating both schools on earning this exceptional honor!!

Board Honors Students and Parents from Tamura and Oka Schools and Celebrates Admin of the Year, Kathy Davis

Each month, the Board honors students and volunteers from our schools, during their regular meeting, in an event that can only be described as amazing! Recently, family, friends and staff joined the Board in celebrating some of our outstanding Tamura and Oka students, in addition to thanking our dedicated volunteers.
From Tamura School, the Board honored Arthur Nguyen (TK), Jason Flores (K), Tatum Dao (1st), Luana Kotani (2nd), Isla Crooks (3rd), Kaden Coffman (4th), and Ava Roque (5th). From Oka School, the Board celebrated Natalia Rodriguez (K), Emma Muldorf (1st), Hailey Acosta (2nd), Chloe Gordon (3rd), Ema Terada (4th), and Jered Yagi (5th).
In addition, the Board thanked some very special volunteers for their dedication to our students and staff. From Tamura School, the Board recognized and thanked Adria McDonald and Louise Proli. And from Oka School, the Board recognized and thanked Allison Westrup and Marisa Campbell. In addition, Tamura Girl Scout Troop 5311 did a wonderful job leading the Pledge of Allegiance.
Prior to our recognitions, the Board of Trustees joined parents and staff in celebrating our
District Administrator of the Year, Tamura School Principal Kathy Davis. The Board was honored to have the opportunity to present Mrs. Davis with this much-deserved recognition.
It was a phenomenal evening, enjoyed by all, and a great celebration of our students, staff and volunteers! Just one more reason why #WeHeartFVSD!
