The Fullerton School District is working closely with our Fullerton Police and Fire Departments to ensure that your children will continue to be safe at school, and while traveling to and from there, despite the El Niño rains. Here’s some resources parents can use to prepare for the rain ahead.

Rainy days:

• A RAINY DAY IS NOT A “NO SCHOOL DAY!” Please don’t keep your student home just because it’s raining! Attendance is important – every day counts.
• Allow yourself extra time to get your child to school. Rainy day traffic WILL slow you down.
• Dress your child appropriately for the rain.

Preparing for extreme rain:

• Know where flooding may occur around your home and school and have an alternate route planned
• More information to help you prepare (including lists of emergency supplies):

http://www.redcross.org/prepare/disaster/flood

http://www.ready.gov/floods

During extreme rain:

• Avoid walking or driving through flooded areas. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 2 feet of water can sweep your car away.
• Keep away from storm channels, creeks, and other running water. Water may rise quickly.
• Your children may have never experienced rain/flooding like this before. Supervise their outdoor activities closely – children are curious and lack judgement about running water.
• NEVER touch downed power lines. CALL 911.

Emergency Information:

• Register with AlertOC to receive emergency information from Orange County Emergency Operations Center   http://bos.ocgov.com/alertoc/alertoc.asp
• http://ocstormcenter.com/
• Twitter:     @fpdpio , @fullertonsd.org

School Closure:

The Superintendent will only close schools in an extreme emergency.

In the unlikely event of a school closure or schedule change, parents will be notified via the Blackboard Connect phone notification system. Additional announcements/information will be posted at:

Principal’s Message 1/2016

Dear Robert C. Fisler Parents, Students and Staff,

Happy 2016! We began the school week with a downpour of rain.  We were able to have our PBIS Kick Off Assembly for grades 1-3, but showed a recorded Keynote of the assembly in classes for all other grades due to the heavy rain. A big thank you to our assistant principal, Tracy Gyurina for taking lead of our new PBIS Point Rewards System.  We see students excited about positive behavior and earning points throughout the school day.

Fisler, once again, takes the lead in attendance district-wide at 98.5%.  Thank you, Parents for your support with your child’s attendance!  We have a SSOAR Saturday on January 23rd.  If your child has an absence, please send your child to school on Saturday the 23rd from 8:00-12:15PM to make up a day.

Fisler celebrated the Hour of Code on December 11th.  A big thank you to Emily Hancock, 4th grade teacher for organizing the event.  Thank you, Parent Volunteers!  We hope you had as much fun with coding as the students.

I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Borsari, a Fisler parent, for his assistance with the parking lot traffic in the morning.  Thank for volunteering your time in the morning to make a difference with the morning traffic and keeping our students safe.

Wishing you and your family a healthy, happy 2016!

Julienne Lee, Principal

Principal’s Message 12/2015

Dear Robert C. Fisler Parents, Students and Staff,

Happy Holidays! Bullying is defined as “unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.”(www.stopbullying.com)

One of the toughest, but most effective ways to combat bullying is to report it.  When we all stand together against bullying, we can reduce these incidents. Bullying can directly be reported to the school office via email to me or Tracy Gyurina, Assistant Principal.  We are here to support the well-being and intellectual growth of all our students.

Did you know about our Suggestion Box? The school Suggestion Box is for suggestions, and it is also a way for students and parent stop report incidents of bullying.  It is located in the office on the right hand side when you walk into the building.  Office personnel will be happy to direct you to the Suggestion Box.

Best wishes for a warm and rejuvenating winter break.  We have much to look forward to in the new year!

Julienne Lee, Principal

Principal’s Message 11/2015

Dear Robert C. Fisler Parents, Students and Staff,

The fall months have quickly arrived!  As you take out your sweaters and boots from storage, I hope you are enjoying the crisp cool weather and preparing for flu season.

On October 15th, staff and students at Robert C. Fisler School participated in a large-scale mock disaster drill.  The Safety Committee met prior to the drill to review feedback from staff and parents last year.  All the emergency preparedness equipment was removed, inventoried, and repacked.  Fisler staff met to review their roles and train new teachers in the process. Every year, we increase the difficulty of the drill so that we are prepared to keep students safe and secure. These mock drills help us to practice and refine our procedures.  If an emergency should arise, we know that we will be prepared (as best as we can be) to ensure the safety of our students.

On November 14 , our school will have a SSOAR Saturday.  Students can make up a missed school day and get credit for attendance.  Teacher plan fun lessons from science experiments to art and crafts.  Come join the fun!

Congratulations to Amy Farace for winning 2nd Place with her quote submission to the Fullerton Technology Foundation’s Adventures in Wonderland Quote Contest.

Second Place $500:

“Technology is the looking glass through which the wonder of the world is discovered, explored, imagined, created and invented.”

– Amy Farace, Fisler

On November 10th, Kelly Talbot was recognized for Orange County Teacher of the Year Semi-Finalist at the Disneyland Hotel.  What an honor for Fisler!  Congratulations, Mrs. Talbot!

A special thank you to a very devoted parent, Mr. Daryl Bowman.  He spends countless hours on Fisler campus volunteering his time to supervise Fisler students and in the library barcoding books.  He is a dedicated PTSA Board Member and supports middle school with events such as middle school dances.  Not to mention he organizes all our Book Fairs! Thank you, Mr. Bowman!  Fisler appreciates you and the time you volunteer in supporting our students.

For any question or concerns, please feel free to contact me via telephone, email or in person.

Happy November!

Dear Robert C. Fisler Parents, Students and Staff,

We continue to achieve high academic excellence, evidenced by Fisler’s recent SBAC/CAASP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) scores.  To view our scores, please log on to the California Department of Education website: http://caaspp.cde.ca.gov.

In the next few weeks, you will be receiving your child’s individual score via mail.  The Fullerton School District has provided a parent guide to help you understand the score report.  You may find the information using the link below.

https://fsd.haikulearning.com/sung_chi/assessmentaccountabilityforparents/cms_page/view/20822256

On October 10th, our school will be having a SSOAR Saturday.  Students can make up a missed school day and get credit for attendance.  Parents, if you can spare four hours on that Saturday, our library needs help with relabeling barcodes.  If you are able to volunteer on October 10th from 8:00-12:00, please sign up on the following Google link.  Thank you!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jT6xIhsy-xKrwEicMroAhzc2z0_btAZyUQD98GfwGHU/edit?usp=sharing

Are you looking for your child’s lost jacket, water bottle or lunch pail?  Our Lost and Found has been growing quite large!  Please stop by the school office to inquire about lost items.

Do you have a suggestion for the school?  We have a suggestion box located in the school office.  We are open to hearing your suggestions on how to make our school better.

As we face the fall months, we encourage parents and students to get plenty of vitamin C and sleep to stay healthy.
Thank you for your continual support!

We are off to a great start this school year!  It is a privilege to be a part of an outstanding community of dedicated staff, devoted parents and hard-working students.

Robert C. Fisler School continues to shine as a school of excellence.  We have been named a California Businesses for Excellence in Education (CBEE) Honor Roll Recipient for 2014.  We received district recognition on September 8th at a Board Meeting. It was an honor to receive the CBEE award on behalf of the school. Additionally, Fisler School has submitted a renewal application to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for 2015-2017.  Thank you to the Apple Distinguished School Team (Kim Bass, Tracy Gyurina, Cynthia Rounds, and Kelly Talbot) for their time, effort and creativity in producing an iBook to tell Fisler’s story.  It was a memorable experience writing and creating with such innovative leaders.

I’m proud to announce that on August 16th, Phoebe Um, an 8th grader, received 1st place for her photography (6th-8th grade division) at the Festival of the Arts at Laguna Beach.  Her photography alongside William Park’s photography, were showcased at the Pageant of the Masters last school year.  Congratulations, Phoebe!  Thank you, Mr. Stava for teaching students the amazing art of photography.

I look forward to continued support and encouragement from our parent community as we head out for another wonderful journey in learning.

With your support, my dedication to Fisler is and will continue to be unreserved and ever-present, as I work to serve our community, our staff, and most importantly, our students.

존경하는 휘슬러 가족여러분,

로버트 C.휘슬러 학교의 교장으로 일하게 된 특권을 가지게 된 것을 큰 영광으로 생각합니다.

교장의 직책은 저에게 새로운 것이지만 사실 저는 휘슬러 학교에서 이미 오랜 동안 일해왔습니다.

지난 11년 동안 3학년 교사로, 6학년 영어과목 교사로, 프로그램 전문 특별교사로, 또한 교감으로 휘슬러 학교를 섬겨왔습니다. 이제 저는 교장의 자격으로 교육의 현장에 서서 혁신적인 학생교육을 실천하며 우리가 함께 이루어 가는 성취의 결과를 열심으로 전하는 전령의 역할을 다할 것을 약속드립니다. 여러분의 도움에 힘입어 지금까지 그래왔듯이 앞으로도 우리의 커뮤니티와 교직원들 그리고 가장 소중한 우리의 학생들을 위하여 봉사함에 있어 저의 모든 정열과 시간을 다해 헌신할 것입니다.

로버트 C. 휘슬러 학교는 최우수 학교로의 자랑스런 이름을 계속해서 빛내고 있습니다.

우리학교는 캘리포니아 우수학교, 애플사 선정 우수학교, 또한 우수 교육을 위한 캘리포니아 기업가 모임이 발표하는 2014년도 우수학교로 선정되는 등 최고의 평가를 받고 있습니다. 여러분들의 협력으로 이번 학년도에도 휘슬러의 학생들은 수준 높은 목표의 설정과 성취를 실천함으로써 자신들의 가치를 증명해 보일 것입니다.

이번 학년도에 새롭게 변화를 주기위한 새로운 얼굴들을 소개합니다!  부임하시는 새 선생님들을 모두 한 마음으로 환영합니다. 킨더가튼 팀에는 엘리자베스 브링커로프 선생님과 다니카 로잘레스 선생님이 오셨습니다. 켈리 카튼 선생님은 1학년을, 바네사 듀나스 선생님은 2학년을 가르치시게 됩니다. 5학년을 가르치시기 위해 캐리 유더스 선생님이 다시 돌아오셨고, 6학년 수학/과학 과목을 리앤 뮤레이 선생님이 담당하시게 됩니다. 이제 전임 Rtl 코치가 되신 켈리 탈봇 선생님을 축하합시다. 스테파니 거피 선생님은 전임 코스텐 멘토로서 휘슬러에 소속된 여섯분의 코스텐 휄로우 선생님들을 지도하실 것입니다.

아울러 새로운 시도를 위해 떠나신 선생님들을 기억해 주십시오. 32년간의 교육자의 길에서 은퇴하신 낸시 헨더슨 선생님과 이웃에 있는 중학교에서 사회과목과 수학을 가르치시게 된 레슬리 샌틸란 선생님입니다. 마지막으로 휘슬러의 새로운 교감으로 트레이시 기유리나 선생님이 일하시게 되어 매우 기쁩니다.

연초에 학교에서 나눠드린 안내문을 시간을 내어 찬찬히 읽어보시기 바랍니다. 휘슬러 학생으로서 해야 할 내용들이 자세하게 나와있습니다. 자세한 내용들은 휘슬러 웹사이트 http://www.fullertonsd.org/fisler/ 로 가시면 됩니다.  웹사이트는 영어와 한국어로 모두 찾아 보실 수 있습니다.

새로운 소식들은 휘슬러의 소셜 미디어 사이트 (SNS)에서 보실 수 있습니다. 휘슬러 학교 (fisler_school)를 트위터, 인스타그램, 페이스북 등에서 찾아보시면 됩니다. 또한 한달에 한번씩 오늘의 길잡이(Navigators’ Now)라는 전자소식지가 이메일로 여러분께 발송이 됩니다.  이번 학년도 첫번째로 9월달에 발송될 예정입니다.

수업 시작과 끝 15분 전후가 학교주변 교통이 가장 혼잡한 시간대 입니다.  학교 주변의 주차와 안전 운전에 관한 안내를 웹사이트 http://www.fullertonsd.org/fisler/parking-lot-safety-and-expectations/  를 방문하셔서 꼭 살펴보시기 바랍니다. 학생들과 학부모님들의 안전을 위해 교통지도 안전요원이스타벅길과 헤테브링크길에서 교통안내를 합니다.  우리 가족들의 안전을 지키기 위해서 학교내외 주변에서 천천히 주의해서 운전하며 교통법규와 안전요원의 지시를 꼭 지켜주시기를 여러분께 거듭 당부 드립니다.

휘슬러의 학부모회 PTSA와 지원재단 F2AST에 진심으로 감사를 드립니다!

이분들의 지속적인 협력에 힘입어 우리학교는 수업에 필요한 부수 학습자료와 운동장에 필요한 기구들, 또한 기술/테크놀로지 교육 프로그램에 필요한 자원들을 제공받고 있습니다.  기술교육 지원재단 F2AST를 통하여 여러분의 자녀들은 보다 향상된 방과후 학습 프로그램으로 마인드크래프트, 스크래치 프로그래밍 등의 과목들을 선택할 수 있게 되었습니다. 8월 21일 저녁 6시에 있을 휘슬러의 신명나는 모임에 휘슬러 가족 모두가 참가해 주시기 바랍니다. 새로운 학년도를 시작하며 학교 전체가 참여하는 신명나는 본 행사에서 여러분 모두를 만나게 되기를 기대합니다! 아울러 8월 11일 아침 8시에 다용도실에서 열리는 새학부모 안내행사에 새로이 학부모님이 되신 여러분  모두를 초대합니다. 그곳에서 학부모님들을 한분한분 개인적으로 만나뵙고 인사드리고 싶습니다.

휘슬러의 교장으로서 휘슬러에 속한 모든 가족 여러분들과 함께 일하며 휘슬러의 새로운 여정의 장을 함께 기록해 나아가기를 바랍니다. 여러분의 자녀을 위한 교육을 위해 지속적으로 지원을 아끼지 않으시는 여러분께 감사를 드립니다. 질문이나 의견이 있으신 분은 저에게 전화 714-447-2890 이나 이메일 julienne_lee@fullertonsd.org 로 자유롭게 연락해 주시기 바랍니다.

감사합니다,
