Welcome to the 2020 school year! We hope it will be a rewarding school year for all!
Some important reminders for this new school year:
This year you will not receive a list of school supplies since the enrollment fee already includes the purchase of the school supplies for the year. So, you needn´t worry about going shopping because we already did it for you!
School Supplies
Parents pay a registration fee that includes the school’s purchasing of all school supplies that are shared items that a student will need throughout the year. Parents are in charge of purchasing for their child the following personal items:
- backpack
- reusable water bottle
- laptop (suggested for 7-8 and required for 9-12)
Please note the revised school policy regarding your child’s school uniform:
FV students must come to school each day in their appropriate uniform. Do you know which uniform is required for preschool and primary students and which one is required for middle and high school students? Please read carefully no make sure you are fully understanding which uniform is the correct one for your child!
Dress code- The official Futuro Verde uniform is slightly different for daily wear and official events (you will receive a prior notification by the director when an occasion requires the official uniform):
| Official Futuro Verde Uniform |
| Uniform shirt (green for prek-10 and navy blue for IB students) |
| Black or brown closed-toe, closed-heel shoes |
| Beige pants, skirt or shorts (skirts and shorts cannot be shorter than the student’s hand´s length above the knee) |
| Physical Education Uniform |
| Official Physical Education Uniform (athletic shirt and shorts) |
| Athletic footwear |
| Swimming Classes |
| One-piece bathing suit (or with a shirt on top if wearing a bikini) and/or
Swim shorts |
| Goggles |
| Non-official Futuro Verde uniform (for daily wear) |
Preschool to 6th: Beige pants, skirt or shorts
(skirts and shorts cannot be shorter than the student’s hand´s length above the knee)Middle and High school: Pants, skirt or shorts
(in any color but skirts and shorts cannot be shorter than the student’s hand´s length above the knee)IB students: Beige pants, skirt or shorts or jeans or dark blue shorts or pants
(skirts and shorts cannot be shorter than the student’s hand´s length above the knee) |
| Uniform shirt (green for prek-10, navy blue for IB) |
| Footwear: sandals, tennis shoes, shoes of any color |
Note: Students must wear a Futuro Verde uniform every day of the week. One of the prizes available to students at all grade levels as a part of our valores program is a “uniform free day”. If a student earns and uses a “uniform free day”, their clothes still need to meet the following requirements: skirts and shorts cannot be shorter than the student’s hand length above their knee, no transparent clothing, cleavage, or spaghetti straps, no inappropriate prints, etc.
Students who come to school without their full uniform will receive the following immediate consequences:
We remind parents that their child wearing the full and approved uniform is the responsibility of the parent only. Students who come without the appropriate uniform will need to purchase a full PE uniform set that they will then need to change into immediately and the uniform set will be automatically charged to the family as a part of the next month’s tuition. The child will NOT be allowed to call a parent to bring a change of clothes nor change into clothes that are appropriate that they have in their backpacks or within their personal items as this inhibits immediate attendance to classes and does not reflect a responsible and appropriate solution for a preventable uniform infraction.
Please help our students follow and comply responsibly with the school’s policies.
We wish you a happy start to the school year!

¡Bienvenidos al ciclo lectivo 2020! Esperamos sea un ciclo lectivo lleno de mucho provecho y aprendizaje para todos.
Algunos recordatorios importantes para este nuevos ciclo escolar:
Este año no tendremos una lista de útiles ya que el monto de la matrícula incluye todos los útiles escolares del año, así que está vez no hay que preocuparse de salir de compras a buscar útiles porque nosotros ¡ya lo hicimos por ustedes!
Los útiles escolares
Los padres pagan una tarifa de inscripción que incluye la compra por la escuela de todos los útiles escolares que los estudiantes necesitarán y compartirán durante el transcurso del año. Los padres están a cargo de comprar los siguientes artículos personales para sus hijos:
- mochila
- botella de agua reutilizable
- computadora portátil (sugerido para 7-8 y requerido para 9-12)
Les recordamos la normativa interna con respecto al uniforme de sus hijos e hijas:
Los estudiantes de FV deben de venir con el uniforme regular todos los días. ¿Sabe usted cuál uniforme corresponde a primaria y preescolar y cuál corresponde a secundaria? Por favor, ¡lea atentamente el código de vestimenta que se detalla a continuación para asegurarse de que comprende qué uniforme es el correcto para su hijo!
Código de vestuario– El uniforme oficial de Futuro Verde es para uso regular y REQUERIDO en actos oficiales (los cuales serán comunicados de antemano desde la dirección):
| Uniforme oficial de Futuro Verde |
| Camisa de uniforme (verde para preescolar a 10° y polo azul para los estudiantes IB) |
| Zapatos cerrados escolares, negros o café |
| Pantalones, enagua, short color beige (en caso de enagua o pantalones cortos no deben ser más cortos que la medida de la mano del estudiante de la rodilla hacia arriba) |
| Para las clases de educación física |
| Uniforme de educación física oficial de Futuro Verde (short y camisa deportiva) |
| Tenis deportivos |
| Para las clases de natación |
| Traje de baño con una sola pieza (o con una camisa encima en caso de usar bikini) y/o pantaloneta de baño |
| Anteojos |
| Uniforme no-oficial de Futuro Verde (para uso diario, cuando no hay acto oficial) |
| Preescolar a 6º: Pantalones, enagua, short color beige (en caso de enagua o pantalones cortos no deben ser más cortos que la medida de la mano del estudiante de la rodilla hacia arriba)
Colegio: Pantalón, enagua, short (cualquier color pero en caso de enagua o pantalones cortos no deben ser más cortos que la medida de la mano del estudiante de la rodilla hacia arriba)
Estudiantes IB: Pantalones, enagua, short color beige o de mezclilla o de color azul oscuro (en caso de enagua o pantalones cortos no deben ser más cortos que la medida de la mano del estudiante de la rodilla hacia arriba) |
| Camisa de uniforme (verde para preescolar a 10० y azul para IB) |
| Calzado: sandalias, tenis, zapatos de cualquier color |
Nota: Los estudiantes deben venir en el uniforme de Futuro Verde todos los días. Uno de los premios disponibles a todos los estudiantes como parte de nuestro programa de valores es “un día sin uniforme”. Si un estudiante recibe y utiliza un premio de “un día sin uniforme”, su ropa debe cumplir con los siguientes requisitos: los requisitos de largo (no más cortos que la medida de la mano del estudiante de la rodilla para arriba) ninguna ropa transparente, blusas escotadas, tirantes, con imágenes inapropiadas, etc.
El estudiante que se presente a la institución sin uniforme recibirá las siguientes consecuencias inmediatas:
Les recordamos a los padres que procurar que su hijo/a lleve el uniforme completo es la responsabilidad exclusiva de los padres. Los estudiantes que acudan a clases sin el uniforme apropiado deberán comprar un conjunto completo del uniforme de educación física que luego deberán usar de inmediato. El costo del uniforme se aplicará automáticamente a la cuenta de la familia como parte de la mensualidad del próximo mes. NO se le permitirá al estudiante llamar a un padre para traer un cambio de ropa ni cambiarse a la ropa apropiada que lleva en sus mochilas o dentro de sus artículos personales, ya que esto impide la asistencia inmediata a las clases y no refleja una solución responsable y apropiada ante una infracción de uniforme evitable.
Por favor ayudemos a nuestros estudiantes a seguir y cumplir responsablemente la normativa de la institución.
¡Feliz inicio de curso lectivo!

El 19 de Diciembre del 2019 se graduó nuestra primera generación IB ¡que día tan emocionante para todos!
Aún más emocionante es la gran oportunidad que Futuro Verde ha presentado a los estudiantes de 12° ¡la Beca John Dolan para el inicio de la carrera universitaria!
Como ustedes saben John Dolan valoraba muchísimo la importancia de la educación de calidad, por lo mismo su familia mostró gran compromiso al fundar el Fondo de Becas John Dolan. Ahora, los estudiantes de 12° que cumplan con los requisitos podrán contar con otra increíble oportunidad que proviene del legado de John Dolan, y es que quienes obtengan el Diploma del IB y hayan ingresado a la universidad podrán contar con la beca de $1000 John Dolan para el inicio de su carrera universitaria. Agradecemos muchísimo a John Dolan y su familia por esta increíble oportunidad de apoyo a los estudiantes a iniciar una nueva etapa de su carrera educativa y les deseamos muchísimos éxitos a todos ellos en este nuevo camino.
Y recuerden que la educación es nuestro pasaporte para el futuro, porque el mañana pertenece a la gente que se prepara para el hoy.

On December 19th, 2019 our first IB generation graduated, what an exciting day for everyone!
Even more exciting is the great opportunity that Futuro Verde has presented to 12th graders, the John Dolan Scholarship for the start of the university career!
As you know, John Dolan highly valued the importance of quality education, therefore his family showed great commitment in founding the John Dolan Scholarship Fund. Now, the 12th grade students who meet the requirements will have another incredible opportunity that comes from the legacy of John Dolan, which is that those who obtain the IB Diploma and have entered the university may be granted the $ 1000 John Dolan scholarship to launch their university career. We are very grateful to John Dolan and his family for this incredible opportunity to support students to begin a new stage of their educational career and we wish them all success in this new adventure.
And remember that education is our passport to the future because tomorrow belongs to the people who get prepared for today.

We are nearing the end of the school year and this also means that some fantastic celebrations for Middle and High School students are coming up!
In 2015 and again in 2018, high school students had a magical and unforgettable night together filled with dance, a fire show, and an amazing time all dressed up with their friends.
Prom is an anticipated event by all, and it is not only attending it that makes it so appealing and exciting, yet also being able to participate in its organization and production! That is why this year, we have 2 dance committees made up of students, parents and teachers taking care of all the logistics.
Two committees?
Yes, there are two committees this year! One prom committee with 9th to 11th grade students and another, consisting of students from 6th to 8th grade, organizing the first Middle School Dance at Futuro Verde.
Both committees have the task of carrying out all the event logistics such as music, food, venue, dance theme, date, price, activities and much more. Everyone is working hard so that both dances are successful and fun. Below you will find detailed information regarding both proms:
PROM for students from 9th to 12th:
Theme: An Arabian Night
Date: November 23rd
Time: 6:00 to 11:00 pm
Place: Quebrada State, Las Delicias
