🐐 GOAT of the Week!

Submitted by third grade teacher, Ms. Mead: Our third grade students are kicking off a new incentive called GOAT of the Week! Each week, two students will have the opportunity to earn this special recognition by consistently following our classroom expectations. These expectations include being respectful to classmates, following directions, and taking ownership of their work and actions.

Our GOATS of the Week will receive a certificate and a special trophy to proudly keep on their desk throughout the following week. We are so excited to celebrate students who demonstrate leadership, responsibility, and kindness each day!

Our first GOATS of the Week are Theo P. and Addi H.! 🎉 🐐 Congratulations Theo and Addi! We are so proud of you!

🚌 School Bus Safety Reminder

As we begin a new school year, please remember: when a school bus has its red lights flashing, STOP. 🛑

Drivers must stop for the bus—do not go around it and do not pass it from the opposite direction. Students may be entering or crossing the roadway, and their safety depends on every driver paying attention and following the law.

Please be patient, stay alert, and give our students the time they need to safely get on and off the bus.

Flashing red lights mean STOP. Every time. 🚌❤️

Thank you for helping keep our Slate Valley students safe!

📣 Have a question, concern, or idea for Slate Valley? Join the conversation!

Our next Slate Valley Community Advisory Council (CAC) Meeting will be held:

📅 Tuesday, September 1, 2026
⏰ 5:45–7:00 PM

The CAC is a space created specifically for conversation between our community and district administration. Community members are encouraged to bring questions, share concerns, offer ideas, and discuss topics that are important to them.

While public comment at School Board meetings follows Robert’s Rules of Order and includes established limits on time and discussion, CAC meetings provide an opportunity for more open dialogue with district leadership.

Have something on your mind? Bring it to the CAC. We encourage parents, families, staff, and community members to take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives, and be part of the conversation.

💬 Your voice matters. We hope you’ll join us!

🎒 FHGS is ready for a new school year! 📚

Fair Haven Grade School was buzzing with excitement tonight as students and families filled the halls for Open House!

Students had the opportunity to visit their classrooms, meet their teachers, explore activities, and get comfortable in their learning spaces before the big day. Families also stopped by the library to browse the Book Fair and find some new books to enjoy. 📖

It was wonderful to see such a great turnout and so many students, families, and staff reconnecting throughout the building. The smiles and excitement made one thing pretty clear — FHGS is ready for tomorrow!

We can’t wait to welcome our students back for the first day of school! 🍎✏️

Here’s to a great 2026–2027 school year! 💙
