The presence of food trucks added a festive touch, while community resources such as the food pantry and the Latino Literacy Program provided valuable support to attendees. A particularly heartwarming moment was the return of former students, who came back to visit their teachers, underscoring the strong connections and lasting relationships fostered at the school.

Parents and students had the opportunity to meet with teachers and learn about the various programs and initiatives designed to support student success. The event highlighted the strong partnership between the school and the community, demonstrating Potter Jr. High’s commitment to creating an environment where every student can thrive.
Mary Fay Pendleton School also hosted a successful Back to School Night, where the emphasis was on building strong connections between families and the school community.

The evening was marked by a spirit of collaboration and a shared commitment to supporting student growth and achievement.
These Back to School Nights marked a fantastic start to the new school year, setting the stage for continued collaboration between schools, families, and the community. FUESD is eager to see the great things that will unfold in the months ahead as everyone works together to support student success.
