Dear Fall River Parents & Students,
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We are so excited to get started into another year of cutting edge exploration and learning. Teachers have been working hard to set up colorful and inviting classrooms, and planning fun learning experiences to set all of our Foxes on this year’s path to success and fun. We are continuing our tradition of kicking off the fall semester with our Popsicle Pop-in. Please plan on joining us on the afternoon & evening of August 15th to meet your teachers, drop off supplies, and have a popsicle. Take a moment to check out the timeline below for details:
8/14: Class lists will be posted at 3:30pm
Visit the front entrance, back recess doors or kindergarten windows to find out who your teacher will be, as well as the names of all of this year’s new friends.
We have orientations set up for each grade level. It’s a great opportunity to drop off your student’s supplies and meet the teachers. We’ll also have popsicles for everybody, so don’t forget to visit the principal–Mr. O’Keefe–out on the playground after you’ve completed your orientation so you can get a treat for the whole family. Given the hot weather we ask that you enjoy your popsicles outside, they will be served until 5:15.
3:30-5:00 Preschool:
Our preschoolers are invited to drop off supplies & meet their teacher. Note: We also have a letter coming soon with preschool orientation and first day of school information.

Our new kindergarteners can drop off supplies and meet their teacher during this window. Note: We encourage you to come towards the end of this window, as the Kindergarten parent orientation will begin at 5:15.

Our teachers and principal will share important information to ensure your child has a fantastic learning experience. This orientation will be held in the library. Child care is provided.
