FORT BRAGG DOG PARK GETS A SPRUCE UP
FROM BIG PICTURE LEARNING STUDENTS!
From Dog Park organizers:
Big thank you to the gang from Big Picture Learning at the Alt Ed. Middle School. The advisors Eric, Aide Kristina, and Artist Sally who brought the young people over a couple weeks ago and they painted the donation doggie. We had a surprise visitor, Pat Scott, one of the artists that built the statutes. She explained to the group how the statues were made, it's quite a process. The kids wanted to try it at school. Last week the black dog got a fresh coat of paint too. Thank you so much to Jackie, Christian, Cooper, Ben, Paisley, and Ty, students who did the work.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will soon be in place to protect data and accounts in October 2025.
Who will this change impact?
MFA will be required for all FBUSD staff members and anyone who has permission to post messages or access personal data beyond their own children and logs in with a password.
Why are we making this change?
This update will help protect staff accounts from being compromised. By requiring MFA, we reduce the risk of malicious actors gaining access and using accounts to send inappropriate or misleading information to your school community.
FBUSD should have an exact date for rollout approximately a week before this change goes live. Stay tuned for more from Parent Square ...
