Trojan Days: Virtual Edition
Welcome Back Info 2020-21 School Year
Trojan Days 2020
Looking a little different this year...
Trojan Days is our week in August where we have students come to school to purchase ASB, get ID pictures, pay fines, and take care a myriad of "business" items needed to start school. With Governor Inslee's recommendations last week, and with COVID on the rise in our county, we have decided to adjust Trojan days to significantly limit who will need to be on campus. Below are the different stations that students would have gone through at Trojan Days, had it been held in person. Follow along to be sure you are all set for the start of school.
I recognize that there is a lot here to review, so thank you in advance for taking the time to read through it.
This information is specific to Trojan Day check-in only. The week of August 17 we will put out our first edition of Fife High News which will have more information regarding the start of school, and as the school board and district finalizes decisions regarding our schedule we will continue to update our Fife HS community with important information.
Thanks!

Juniors and Seniors: Student Book Turn-in and Locker Room Clean-out
- We need to collect all textbooks, library books or novels from juniors and seniors so we have enough books for this year.
- We want any spring sports athletes to be able to clean out their gym lockers and turn in gear to Mr. Nixon in the athletic office (he will have boxes set outside his office).
Directions for coming to the school for book turn-in and locker clean out:
Please park in the staff parking lot (bus loop side). A staff member will greet you and let you know where to place your books. If you need to go to your sports locker you will have to fill out our district attestation form prior to entering campus (staff will direct students to the form). Students will be escorted to their locker by a staff member using safe social distancing protocols. Please remember to wear a mask when you visit the campus.
Students need to come to the school Tuesday, August 18 during the specified alphabetical time slot listed below (by last name):
Station 1: Senior Parking Info
If you are a senior and want to paint a parking spot in the student parking lot, please fill out this Senior Parking Spot Painting Request to be put on the list (be sure to use your Fife HS account when logging in). There will be a maximum limit to the number of spots available to paint, so if the limit is exceeded, we will draw names for those that are interested. Click here to read the guidelines and parking permit for painting. Applicants still must fill out a parking permit form and provide proof of license and insurance.
Take care of business from home! Fife Webstore!
Station 2: ASB & General Parking Info
Due to school beginning virtually and the postponement of athletics for the fall season the sale of ASB Cards and Parking Passes for juniors and sophomores will be delayed.
If you have been by the school, you will notice there are new portable classrooms where last years seniors used to park. There is also construction that will take up a portion of the staff parking lot. When we are able to return to school in person we will have limited parking in both lots which will affect the number of parking passes we will be able to sell.
Station 3: Pictures for your FHS ID

- The English & Spanish version of the Food Program application and the household letter can be found @ Fifeschools.com, Departments, Food Service, Free and Reduced Lunch Info
Returning Students
Returning students maintain their prior year’s free or reduced eligibility for the first 30 school days, or until a new application is processed. If a returning student does not have a new application processed by October 15, 2020, they will automatically be transferred to a paid account on the next school day. Families are responsible for any charges incurred.
Please notify Toni Barnett, Manager of Food Services (253.517.1000) if a returning student has a newly enrolled sibling so that we may extend the 30 school day eligibility to the new student. Families will still need to complete a new application to avoid any unnecessary charges.
Station 6: Skyward Update, We need your updated info!
- If you do not have one already families should sign up for their Skyward account to have access to school communication and student information: skyward.fifeschools.com
- Update your contact information (ie; home address, Email address, cell phone number, emergency contact numbers).
- To look at the information in Skyward log into your Skyward account, then go to Family Access, scroll down to the Student Info tab and look over ALL your information.
- Make sure your student's name is spelled correctly. The way your child's name appears on this screen should be their legal name as this is used to print their high school diploma. (The middle name will only appear as the first letter of the name so you'll want to make sure that the full middle name is spelled correctly before diplomas are printed.)
