Falcon Ridge Elementary School

Today marked Falcon Ridge Elementary’s inaugural school-wide Field Day — and what a success! 💙🦊 With 56 mixed grade-level teams, 50 incredible parent volunteers, and dedicated teachers leading the way, our students experienced teamwork, leadership, and so much joy. Even the windy weather couldn’t stop the fun! Grateful for this amazing school community that always shows up for kids.

In school, on track. When Etiwanda students attend every day, they’re setting themselves up for growth and achievement.

We are so proud to share the following note from one of our families: Miss Cross not only supports her students in the classroom, but she also goes above and beyond to support them in every way she can. A big shoutout to Miss Cross for coming out and cheering on her students at the Little League Division Championship Game! Congratulations to Levi, Johnathon, and Dominic for representing their class so well and showing what true teamwork looks like. ⚾️

Our fifth graders had a blast celebrating the end of the year at Castle Park today! 🎢☀️ Thank you to our amazing teachers — Mr. Cimesnski, Mrs. Cota-Kwinn, and Mrs. Griffin and the huge team of parent volunteers for making the day so special and fun for our students! ❤️

Last call for High Fives for the 2025-26 school year!

Do you know a student or staff member who went above and beyond this year? We want to celebrate them! Send a photo and a short description to dosocialmedia@etiwanda.org.
