"Good evening Falcon Families, this is Kristen Witt calling with this week's announcements.
We had a wonderful start to the school year. Attendance was great and we want to keep up the positive momentum.
A few important notes. Dressing for success is extremely important at Fairfield High. We want to ensure that all students are coming to school dressed for success. We do not allow shirts that expose the midsection, pants that sag, or clothing that advertises anything illegal or inappropriate. Students that are out of dress-code will be asked to change and that may mean calling a parent or guardian for a change of clothes. Help us keep all students in class and send them to school Dressed for Success.
We are enforcing a new morning drop off and afternoon pick up zone to alleviate traffic back up and create the safest routes for students. All drop offs and pick ups will take place in the student parking lot NOT in front of the school. Thank you for helping make it a safe driving zone.
All picture and ID makeups will be occurring tomorrow during English classes. After tomorrow all students are expected to wear their ID's on a daily basis. Every student, after tomorrow, will have been issued a FREE ID. If an ID is lost, a replacement ID will be made for a charge of $5.
The 3rd Annual Athletic Benefit Dinner is taking place on September 19th from 5:00-9:00 PM. For the first time in 20 years we will be inducting a class to the Hall of Fame! It will be an amazing evening. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased through our Athletic Director, Eddie Wilson.
Have a wonderful evening and a great week!"

It is important for parents to continually check the progress of your son or daughter's academics. You can check Jupiter Grades or Parent Portal to stay on top of your child's grades. We are starting week three of second semester and it is very important that students are staying on track in all of their classes to ensure they pass and remain on track for graduation.
Our CAHSEE, California High School Exit Exam, will take place on February 3rd and 4th. All Sophomores will be taking the CAHSEE exam on both days. Additionally, any juniors and seniors that still have not passed either the math or English portion will be taking the exam. Students can prepare for the CAHSEE by using the online program SHMOOP, attending before and after school math and English tutoring, and if they are a junior or senior attending the Saturday prep classes on Jan. 24th and 31st.
We will be taking part in the Great Kindness Challenge the week of January 26th-January 30th. The goal is to spread as much kindness on campus and in the community as possible.

Good evening Falcon Families, this is Kristen Witt calling with this week's announcements.
I would like to start this message by extending our thoughts and prayers to the student injured on Tuesday at Fairfield High. We urge all parents to talk to their children about the dangers of jumping fences or entering secured areas. We do not want students attempting to jump any fence on campus. It is important to know that after school the gates in the front near the administration building are open late into the evening. All other gates are locked at 4:00 PM. All staff members do have keys if they need to open a gate for a student. Site staff is working with District staff to determine if more egress points are needed and to ensure any measures taken support a safe and secure learning environment. I want to again state that our thoughts and prayers go out to the student and the family.
The District as a whole has seen an increase in the number of students being picked up from school more than 30 minutes before the end of the day or before the end of a class period. In an effort to ensure that parents and students are aware how important it is that students are in class all period and all day, there is a new code being entered in attendance. Beginning Monday, if you pick your son or daughter up 30 minutes or more before the end of a class period for "early pick-up" it will be coded as a truancy in our attendance system. Please try to schedule appointments for your son/daughter outside of the school day.
As a reminder students are not allowed to carry balloons around campus since it causes distractions in the classroom. If balloons are delivered they will be held in the front office and students can pick them up at the end of the day.
We have been experiencing an increase in the number of parents calling their children on their cellphones during the school day. This is causing disruptions to the learning environment. We are asking that phone calls aren't made to students during the instructional day. If there is an emergency, please call the front office and we can get a message to your child.
Thank you to the parents that came to our first PIQE night on Wednesday. The next PIQE night is October 1st from 6:30-8:00. Light snacks will be provided and free childcare will be provided. PIQE is provided in both English and Spanish.
Have a wonderful evening and a great week!
