It is hard to believe we are already halfway through November. I hope you are all finding ways to stay healthy! 

Are you ready to take the plunge into AI to support your teaching? Khanmigo from Khan Academy has a whole suite of tools to help you plan engaging lessons (and it is free). 


We need a student to help with the set-up, video recording, and broadcast of our FBUSD Board Meetings for the 2025-2026 school year. We would love to start soon to train and transition the role. If you know a student who is interested in broadcasting, videography, or the technical aspects of audio and video, please let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend.

      WELCOME BACK! I hope you have all had a wonderful summer! As we gear up for a new school year, I wanted to let you know of some exciting developments.  FBUSD has received a 5 year Community Schools grant to support connections of community support to our students. The grant will be coordinated by Martha Lopez serving in the newly created role of Community Schools Coordinator. The grant will provide funding for Family Liaisons, upgrades at the JD Center, Mindfulness through Martial Arts, access to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for families with children 0-5 years old, and access for our students to Psychiatric services. These services are not up and running yet, but we will be adding them throughout the year.  Our Custodial and Maintenance teams have been busy this summer. I really appreciate all that they do to ensure our sites are clean and safe for students and staff. Please join me in thanking them for their hard work!  Construction projects...
