Elective Scheduling for 2019-2020 School Year-Note the Time Change!
Yep, it’s that time, believe it or not! It’s time to start planning for NEXT school year! During elective periods on Friday, 2/8, 6th and 7th grade students received the list of elective courses we anticipate offering at Fallon next year. The Elective Course Descriptions were provided during their Elective, Intervention, or Tutorial class. Plus APPLICATIONS for select electives are available on grade-level Google Classrooms and in the office. All next week during AP, Fallon is hosting a week-long Elective Open House! Students will learn about all the exciting electives we have planned by visiting Elective AP sessions in various classrooms across our campus. The Elective Open House schedule is posted on your child's grade-level Google Classroom. Mark your calendars! On Tuesday, February 19th at 6:00pm, we will be hosting an Elective Scheduling Parent Night for all current 6th and 7th grade parents. By then, your child will have brought home not only the elective descriptions document, but a pink (current 6th graders) or purple (current 7th graders) Elective Course Request Form. Bring your child's form and all your pending questions about our exciting elective program at Fallon. Attached is a flyer for the event. This event will end promptly at 7:00pm and will be followed by our AVID Parent information night.

Special Screening of Angst
On March 11, 2019, please join the Tri-Valley SELPA and the Dublin Unified School District for a special screening of "Angst: Raising Awareness Around Anxiety" at the Dublin High School Center for Performing Arts & Education. The goal of the documentary is to raise awareness about anxiety by starting a dialogue between local families, community leaders, and experts. Through candid interviews, the producers utilize the power of film to tell the stories of many kids and teens who discuss their anxiety and its impact on their lives and relationships, as well as how they’ve found solutions and hope. The film also includes a special interview with Michael Phelps, a mental health advocate and one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Free tickets are now available and space is limited!
