PTA UPDATES




  • Bridging critical gaps between Sacramento and Pleasanton Schools by
    providing financial support for essential programs and services that are at
    risk of elimination

    Wondering why we don't receive so many fliers in our Friday folders?  In an effort to
    GO GREEN the district has begun posting local fliers to their website.  Sports
    league information, organizations, Science, and academic club information can be
    found here.  They have a separate page set up for other community interest issues
    like health issues, free/reduced lunch, dress code, bike safety, etc found here.  For
    organizations that may be local to Fairlands, we have created a Community Bulletin
    Board to house cleared fliers. We will feature the page when new fliers get posted
    in the Fairlands Flier Weekly e-mails.

    Join our local community! At Fairlands School we are committed to the concept of
    Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Ubokia is your opportunity to look around your
    home or workplace and notice where you may have materials or items you are not
    using that may be useful to Fairlands. In a time where resources are limited and
    needs are great, we continue to look for ways to work with our community to ensure
    each and every student is given all of the necessary tools, teaching, and support to
    go Above and Beyond! Ubokia is a tool that will allow us to communicate our needs
    to you. We invite you to come and Ubokia with us!

    comfortable. Homeowners in Pleasanton can get more than $7,000 back in rebates

    An educational foundation has been created through PPIE to help supplement and

    fluctuation of the state budget.  Specific areas for funding are being determined
    currently, but will touch on the following areas: Literacy & Student Support; Science
    & Technology Arts, Health & Well Being.

  • NOROVIRUS ALERT
    Symptoms of Norovirus (Norwalk virus) include diarrhea, vomiting, low-grade fever
    and abdominal cramps. Healthy people usually recover within one to three days,
    health departments advise. Highly contagious, Norovirus is spread through
    contaminated food, water and objects that come in contact with the mouth.
    Frequent hand-washing is the best way to prevent spread of the illness.
    Students who are sick should not return to school until the symptoms have
    been absent for at least 48 hours. www.cdc.gov/Features/Norovirus/ and
