March 10 Fire Wire
Happy Monday!
At Fultonvale, we believe that parent engagement is key to student success. Whether at home, in the classroom, or through school activities, there are many ways to stay involved and support your child’s learning.
Simple daily actions—reading together, practicing numeracy skills, checking PowerSchool for junior high marks, and reviewing report cards—help reinforce learning. Attending Parent-Teacher Interviews and keeping up with school updates through the Fire Wire, newsletters, and our website ensure you stay informed.
Beyond academics, parents can contribute by volunteering, joining School Council meetings, supporting hot lunch programs, and sharing feedback through the EIPS Annual Feedback and Alberta Education Assurance Review surveys. Your involvement strengthens our school community and helps shape a positive learning experience for all students.
Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education—your engagement truly makes a difference!
It's a great week for a great week!
