Fuller Falcon Reminders - July 15, 2025

Greetings Fuller Falcon Families, 

The following are important reminders: 

We hope you're having a fantastic summer filled with rest, fun, and family time! As you continue to enjoy the break, here are a few fun and simple games families can play at home to help boost reading fluency in a playful way:

🎲 Fluency Dice Roll – Write short sentences or sight words on index cards. Roll a dice to determine how to read it (e.g., in a robot voice, whisper, fast, slow, with a silly accent).

🔤 Word Bingo – Create bingo boards with high-frequency words. Call out words for your child to find and read aloud. Add a prize for extra motivation!

📖 Echo Reading Challenge – Take turns reading a sentence or page. First, you read it fluently, and then your child echoes your tone, pacing, and expression.

🎭 Reader’s Theater – Pick a short script or a story and assign parts to each person. Practice and perform it together, focusing on expression and pacing!

🎵 Beat the Clock – Choose a short passage and use a timer. See how many words your child can read correctly in one minute—then try to beat their score next time!

Keep learning light and joyful—it makes all the difference!

🚌 Update Your Bus Transportation Info for 2025–2026!
The WCPSS Transportation Department is preparing routes for the new school year. To ensure your child has accurate service:

• Check your email from WCPSS Transportation for current bus status.

• Need to register or make changes? Fill out the Bus Rider Registration Form by July 14 for first-day-of-school service.

• Not using bus service? Complete the Decline Transportation Form so routes can be efficiently planned.

 

🚗 New to Fuller? New to Afternoon Carpool?
Get ahead and request your Carpool Tag now for the 2025–2026 school year!

If your student will be using afternoon carpool, your vehicle must have a carpool number/tag. (Morning drop-off does not require a tag.)

🎟️ To request a carpool number or replacement tags, fill out this form:
👉 https://bit.ly/FullerCarpool2526

📬 Tags are distributed at Meet the Teacher, Staggered Entry, or sent home in folders during the year.

👨‍👩‍👧 Fuller siblings share one carpool number — only one request per family is needed!
