Falls City Public Schools

Our kindergarten students spent the day Friday celebrating their academic success and school year on their kindergarten picnic.

Kindergarten students were each presented with a book from Steve Kottich and his family in memory of Diana Kottich this past week. Diana was a kindergarten teacher at FCPS and impacted many students throughout her career. She loved and understood the importance of reading. Thank you Kottich family!

Please join us in the High School Gym on Monday, May 4th at 7:00pm to celebrate all of our students' academic success and celebrate our Seniors!

Principals are the steady backbone of a school, balancing leadership, compassion, and problem-solving all at once. They set the tone for a positive culture, support teachers when it matters most, and make countless behind-the-scenes decisions to keep everything running smoothly. At their best, principals aren’t just administrators, they’re mentors, listeners, and champions for both students and staff.

School lunch personnel are some of the most quietly essential people in a school. Every day, they show up early, work efficiently under pressure, and make sure hundreds of students are fed something that directly affects focus, energy, and well-being.

They don’t just serve food, they create a sense of routine and care. For many students, that lunch might be the most reliable meal of the day, and the people behind the counter help make that happen with consistency and dignity. A friendly smile, remembering a student’s preference, or just keeping things moving smoothly, those small actions add up in a big way.

Thank you!

Through the month of April North School Students have been working hard on their expectations to be character strong. Showing kindness, responsibility, empathy, and respect in all areas of the building are just a few of the qualities we are developing to become character strong kids. Congratulations to these students who constantly show these qualities day in and day out in all areas of the building. Showing their peers what it looks like to be character strong. It was close as we only had 23 grass communities to give out and a few close runner-ups!

Our North School teachers entertained and performed during our April R.O.A.R.S. Jam, bringing energy and excitement to the event. Each teacher danced to the “hit song” from their first year of teaching, creating a fun and memorable experience for students and staff alike.
