The Weekly Connection
Updates from the Principal's Office - October 24th, 2021
Message from Mrs. Jones
As we prepare to turn the corner into November, I'd like to revisit our Core Values:
Fallbrook High School Students Are:
- Productive & Healthy Individuals
- Responsible Leaders
- Innovative Thinkers
- Determined Learners
- Effective Communicators & Collaborators
During the month of November, we will be focusing on being productive and healthy individuals who understand preventive physical and mental health measures, including proper diet, nutrition, exercise, risk avoidance, and stress reduction. We will be highlighting some of the resources available to students as we head into final exam season and the end of the semester. For families, I'd like to draw your attention again to our Parent Connection Workshops (offered in English) and our Mano a Mano Workshops (offered in Spanish). Please scroll down to "Upcoming Events" for more information about these opportunities to provide resources for families in supporting their students.
Attention Advanced Placement and IB Students!
If you are currently enrolled in an AP or IB class, you should have received the Exam Registration Letter from your AP/IB teacher. Please make sure to return your letter to the Assistant Principals' office as soon as possible in order to confirm the exams in which you plan to participate this Spring. Once your letter of intent has been approved, the corresponding fees for your exams will be added to your account. Fees can be paid either online through the Aeries Fee Payment Portal or at the ASB window, before school, at nutrition, or at lunch. Students must either pay their entire exam fee or the deposit prior to 10/29/21 in order to secure their test.
Please also see the attached Free and Reduced Fee Eligibility Form. Keep in mind - all students are currently receiving free lunch through the State of California. In order to qualify for a Fee Reduction on AP/IB Testing, families must meet the Income and Household Guidelines outlined in the attached eligibility form.
Let's make this a great week, Warriors!
