Falls City Public Schools

For any students in grades 7-12 interested in competing as part of the FCPS ESports Program this year, there will be a brief informational meeting for players this Thursday at 3:45 PM in Coach Huppert's Room at the middle school. If you are unable to attend because of riding the bus or sports practice, please email Coach Huppert or Coach Syslo to obtain the information. We will also be posting the information on the Band App in our FCPS ESports Group.

Tonight the FC Tiger Football Team will be kicking off their annual fundraiser and it will conclude on Monday August 18th. These funds are used to purchase the items pictured here, VR for our QB's to practice reads in the offseason, new jerseys, guardian caps to protect against concussion and our flip sleds. This money is also utilized so players can attend camps and coaches can attend clinics. Thank you to our local businesses for their generous support of Tiger Football and for being on our card. Contact a player, or they will find you and buy a card, or maybe two or three! GO TIGERS!

Tonight at 6:00PM in the High School Gym is the football parent meeting. If you have a student planning on playing football this fall you need to attend this meeting. The meeting should be 60 minutes or less depending on questions.

Open houses and the first day of school are right around the corner! Here are some important reminders. Remember to keep an eye out for additional information pertaining to your student's school building.

August 2025

Dear North School Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I hope this message finds you well and that your family has enjoyed a restful and memorable summer. We are eager to welcome our students back to school and look forward to another exciting year filled with growth, learning, and connection.

Important Dates to Remember:

• Open House: Tuesday, August 12 from 5:00–6:00 p.m.
  This is a great opportunity for families to meet classroom teachers, explore the building, and get comfortable before the first day!

• First Day of School (K–2): Thursday, August 14

• First Day of School (PCC): Monday, August 18

Kindergarten Families:
All kindergarten students must have the following documents on file prior to the first day of school:

• A state-certified birth certificate

• Immunization records

• A recent physical examination

Please contact the school office if you need assistance obtaining or submitting these documents.

Helpful Tips to Prepare for a Great Start:

• Begin reestablishing school-year routines by gradually adjusting bedtimes and wake-up times.

• Read with your child daily to promote a love for books and strengthen early literacy.

• Review basic personal skills such as tying shoes, using the bathroom independently, and unpacking lunch or backpacks.

• Talk with your child about what to expect at school – new friends, new teachers, and fun learning activities.

• Label all school supplies and clothing items to help prevent mix-ups or lost belongings.

At North School, we are committed to working together to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment for every student. We are so grateful for your partnership and support as we begin another incredible year.

If you have any questions or need additional support before school begins, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.

We can’t wait to see you at Open House and officially kick off the school year!
