8.5.2025 FBUSD Staff Blog

 

Welcome back! As we begin the 2025–26 school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the energy, care, and professionalism you bring to our schools. I hope your summer included time to rest and reconnect with what matters most. Please take a moment to thank the custodial and maintenance staff who have worked hard to ensure our campuses are ready for students.

This year, let’s focus on our shared purpose: creating a safe, welcoming, and empowering learning environment for every student. I know the challenges are real, but so is the opportunity to make a difference each day. Your work matters. Your presence matters. Let’s move into this year with hope, collaboration, and a shared commitment to doing what’s best for kids. 

I look forward to seeing you all at our District Welcome Back lunch on August 8 at 11:00 in the FBHS Quad. Until then, please reach out if my staff or I can help you start the year successfully. 2025-2026 is going to be an awesome year!
