Our third graders explored hydroponics, plant life cycles, and adaptations while learning about the three most important things plants need to survive and continue their life cycle: sunlight, water, and nutrients!

Our fifth graders explored the conservation of matter and investigated how matter reacts to changes in temperature. They put their learning into action by making their very own ice cream while observing science in action!

We were so excited to welcome a Fire Cadet and a Police Officer to visit our littlest Falcons! Our TK students loved learning about how community helpers keep us safe, help others, and serve our community. We are so thankful they took the time to visit us and make our learning come to life!

Falcon Families, mark your calendars! Fall picture day is October 1st.

👷🚧 Measure H News: The Falcon Academy of Science and Technology Multipurpose Building and Kitchen Project reached an important milestone this week, as the District hosted a mandatory contractor conference and site visit for 12 prequalified general contractors.
District representatives along with the project's architect, Studio Plus, met with contractors at Falcon Academy to review the proposed location of the new facility, familiarize contractors with existing campus and site conditions, and provide an overview of the next steps in the District's contractor selection process.
The strong participation reflects significant contractor interest in the project and provides the District with a competitive pool of qualified firms as the project moves into the proposal and evaluation phase.
The District is utilizing a competitive Request for Qualifications and Proposals, RFQ/RFP No. 26-0002, to select a Lease-Leaseback contractor based on the best-value evaluation process established in the solicitation. Contractor questions are due through PlanetBids by Aug. 17 at 12 p.m.
Contractor proposals are due August 24, 2026 at 12 p.m. The District will then proceed with its formal evaluation and selection process.
