Week 2
Friday, August 27, 2021
Dear FUHS Families,

We have now ended week 2 of our school year and we are getting into the swing of things! We had a lockdown/fire drill earlier in the week and we had an early dismissal today so our teachers could have some professional development time! I think we are done with alternative schedules for a while and we will begin next week with our normal routine.

Last night we held our annual Back to School Night! Teachers reported more parents than expected and this was with the addition of an online virtual option in our classrooms! It was great to see our parents come out and meet their student's teachers and remain involved in the education of our kids. It is definitely a team effort! As the year progresses please feel free to contact our teachers, counselors, or administrators if you have any questions or need to support your student. Stay up to date with grades and assignments, through Aeries Parent Portal.

Bell Schedule
We are now on a normal schedule and taking a break from alternative activities schedules. For more information on our calendar and future bell schedules please go to our website.
COVID Protocols
COVID Entrance Procedures
Safety Procedures attending school during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • All students and staff will complete a Qualtrics COVID Safety Survey each morning (the survey will be sent to Student's school email).
  • Students will be directed to the central building breezeway as they enter campus where they will show their green checkmark from the completed survey permitting them to be on campus.
  • Students will walk through the thermal-imaging temperature cameras in the breezeway as they show their green Qualtrics survey checkmarks.
  • Face coverings (masks) are required inside and are optional while outside.
To view more information, you may go to the district website.

If you have received a COVID 19 test, do not attend school until you receive the results of that test and then only if you are negative for COVID 19. Additionally, if you have been exposed to a person who has recently tested positive for COVID-19 please stay home and contact the school attendance office.

In accordance with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), CA Dept. of Public Health (CDPH), and Orange County Health Care Agency (OCHCA), we ask that you complete the Qualtrics survey each morning prior to arriving on campus. However, please do not attend school if you have experienced any COVID-related symptoms:
  • Flu-like symptoms such as fever of 100.4 or greater 
  • Chills 
  • Cough 
  • Sore throat
  • Runny or stuffy nose that is not associated with a pre-existing condition or other chronic health condition.  

If you have received a COVID 19 test, do not attend school until you receive the results of that test and then only if you are negative for COVID 19.

Further, following the recommendations issued by the CDC, the CDPH has issued guidance in support of full in-person instruction and to as much instructional time as possible. A link to that guidance is included at the bottom of this communication.

Please note that masks will be required by all staff and students while indoors regardless of vaccinated status. As an extra precaution, FJUHSD is committed to continuing the enhanced cleaning procedures established to ensure that our schools are clean, sanitized, and safe. Further, temperatures will continue to be taken each morning.
