Happy Monday FORCE Families!
We hope you are all staying safe and healthy, and enjoying this amazing Autumn weather! As we officially begin the 2nd Trimester of school, I know teachers are excited for the upcoming Conference Week (Nov. 15 - 19). Reminder that we only have a 4 day week this week with Thursday off as we observe Veterans Day. Report cards for Trimester 1 will be going out on Friday - November 12th. This past week the students enjoyed the "Dancing Feet" outdoor assembly - thank you to Roseville High School Dance club for showing us your moves!
Our hope is to keep this blog updated frequently so that you can be informed of upcoming events, news, happenings, and important information regarding Fiddyment Farm Elementary and the great experiences your child will be having here at our school this year. Fiddyment truly is a special place, where our staff thrives on building relationships with students and parents, in hopes to build a partnership that make everyone's time here safe and enjoyable, especially for our young learners.
In this blog you will find school updates, important safety reminders, PTC information, acknowledged students and staff, lunch menu, after school enrichment info and community event flyers.
Have a wonderful rest of your week, and remember to always - "BE A FORCE FOR GOOD"

Each Friday is spirit day - students and staff are encouraged to wear their school spirit shirts, or sport the school colors - black and gold! The class with the most students to sport their spirit for the day, wins the coveted "Spirit Yoda" as a reward, to keep in their classroom for a week! Last week's winners were Mrs Benato's 2nd Grade Class (Primary Grades) with 100% participation and Ms. Harless' 3rd graders (Upper Grades) who also showed 100% participation with spirit wear - way to continue to rock it!
We like to recognize our fabulous students here at Fiddyment Farm who continuously follow both our behavior expectations of being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful, but also consistently exhibit the FORCE traits that we believe make students a FORCE for good, which are
Focused, Organized, Respectful, Compassionate, and Encouraging!
Here is a list of students whose teachers wanted them to know just how awesome they are! They received certificates from their teachers as well as a reward from the school!

This school year, we are re-focusing our PBIS (Positive Behavior Expectations and Supports) structure to be more simplified for our students. We are going to continue with our character themes of F.O.R.C.E. - Focused, Organized, Respectful, Compassionate, Encouraging, and put more emphasis on good character traits and habits.
On the behavior side, to simplify the "behavior" expectations, we continue with
Be Safe - Be Responsible - Be Respectful
These are very simple for our students to understand, and are easy to reinforce and celebrate when students follow expectations and make good choices! These 3 main behavior expectations, will also carry over to Cooley Middle School, as they use the same 3.
When students do make good choices and follow behavior expectations, and show great character qualities of the F.O.R.C.E., they will be acknowledged at different times of the year, in different ways, from awards, to FORCE Tickets, to prizes - we want to acknowledge our FORCE students for showing up every day and being a true "FORCE" in our school!
If your child comes home with a FORCE ticket stub - they made a really good choice at school and should be encouraged to continue their positive choices and behaviors in the future!
*NOTE
The menu is scheduled to change, based on what food is delivered.
The Breakfast at Fiddyment Farm will ALWAYS be the
CONTINENTAL BAGGED BREAKFAST!
