Principal's Message
At Faylane, we believe every child can succeed. We work every day to ensure that every student feels safe, supported, valued, and excited to learn. We are proud of the strong academic programs we offer in reading, math, science, writing, and English Language Development. Our teachers are committed to helping students grow, build confidence, and reach their full potential.
Learning at Faylane goes beyond the classroom. Students have opportunities to explore their interests through robotics, music, chorus, sports, art, karate, and more. Through AVID strategies, high expectations, and meaningful opportunities to lead, we help prepare our students for middle school, high school, and beyond.
As a Community School, we believe our students are most successful when schools, families, and our community work together. Throughout the year, we connect families with resources, support services, counseling, wellness opportunities, and engaging events designed to bring our school community together.
Last year, our Family Science Night was a tremendous success, and the enthusiasm from our families showed us just how much our community values opportunities to learn and have fun together. Because of that incredible response, we are excited to offer even more family events and opportunities to connect during the 2026–2027 school year!
Our Falcons also showed an amazing spirit of generosity last year during Socktober, collecting an incredible 767 pairs of socks to donate to those in need. We are excited to bring Socktober back this year and continue showing that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
There are many ways for families to be part of the Faylane community, from PTA and family events to Career Day, our Jog-a-Thon, volunteer opportunities, and special Community Schools activities. We welcome your ideas, your participation, and your voice. If you have an idea that could help our students, families, or school community, we want to hear it!
At Faylane, we focus on the whole child: academics, social growth, leadership, and emotional well-being. We are incredibly proud of our Falcons, our dedicated staff, and our wonderful Falcon Families who make Faylane such a special place to learn and grow.
Thank you for being part of the Faylane family. We are excited for another year of learning, connection, kindness, and Falcon pride.
We are stronger together. A Falcon always SOARS!
