Dear FUHS Families,
The exciting times continue at FUHS! Our fall athletic teams have begun league play and most of our teams are remaining strong and working up to the challenge! We are expecting some exciting games coming up! This newsletter is packed with important information, celebrations, and fun announcements! Also, remember to visit our school website or follow our programs on their social media platforms for up-to-date information.

TikTok has become the latest hot social media app for our students. Like most social media platforms it has many positive trends, but unfortunately, there is always the negative side. Current TikTok trends are testing the tradition of excellence not only at all of our high schools but high schools across the country, and we need your help. We have been notified that the next round of TikTok challenges includes vandalism, profanity, assault, sexual assault, obscene gestures, and more.
Fullerton has worked hard to raise our expectations of good behavior and live up to the Fullerton legacy of success. I am confident that our students will not engage in these disturbing trends. However, we need your help in talking to your student about the consequences of their actions. It is important to note that many of these disgusting challenges would result in criminal charges, suspension, and expulsion from school if students were to participate.
Let's all do our part to ensure that FUHS continues to be a safe and welcoming place for our outstanding students and staff. High school should be a positive and exciting time in students' lives, and I know that collectively we will not allow that to change.

Boys Varsity Water Polo opened league play with a victory over La Habra 18-8. Preston Kim had 6 goals, Garret Fan had 3 goals, Aiden Ricklef had 3 goals and Elijah Pelton had 4 steals and 1 goal. Boys JV split games this week winning one game against Sunny Hills. Well done boys!
Our Girls Tennis teams won on Tuesday against Buena Park with varsity winning 18-0 and JV winning 16-0. Ami Ishikawa and Ria Shah had to step in as alternates for the BP match and came through for the team with both winning all their matches. The girls lost on Thursday to Troy. Although the girls tied in sets 9-9, we lost on points 69-84. Great effort ladies!
After losing the last 2 games in hard-fought matches that both went into overtime, Girls Varsity Volleyball put together a dominant performance last night. In the first round 2 weeks ago, Sonora beat us 3-1. Last night, the girls came back strong to win 3-0 and stay alive in the hunt for a playoff spot. We are only 1 game behind 3rd place. Kaylee Koerth dominated the middle, while Sydney Elliott found her spot on the right side. Defense is led by Hailee Nelson. Kryslin James and Cassidy Mullens share the load of directing the offense with assists. Great job ladies. Next week, we are on the road at La Habra on Tuesday, and at Buena Park on Thursday. Come out and support. Great Job Ladies!
Football starts league play tonight against Sonora at the district stadium at La Habra. 7pm start time. Next week is our Tackle Cancer Night supporting the Kindness Matters Legacy Foundation.
Cross Country Boys came in 12th place at the Woodbridge Invitational. On Wednesday, Cross Country has League Cluster #2 taking place at Troy High School. Good luck everyone!
Girls Golf had some tough losses this week against Sunny Hills and Sonora High Schools. We're hoping for some better matches next week. Keep working hard ladies!

From Fullerton Football:
With the start of October, we are beginning our campaign for our 12th Annual, Fullerton Union High School Tackle Cancer Football Game. Our Tackle Cancer week starts on October 4th and concludes with our Tackle Cancer Football Game on October 8th. During the time leading up to the game, we are raising funds to donate money to the KM Legacy Foundation. The KM Legacy Foundation was created in 2017 by FUHS alumna Katie Monson to raise money for brain cancer awareness & research. The foundation also provides leadership opportunities for Fullerton Joint Union High School District students both during their time in high school and beyond.
At this time, we are asking for financial donations to assist the KM Legacy Foundation in supporting cancer research and the students of our community. Any amount that you can donate will be greatly appreciated. The Fullerton Indians Football Booster Club will be handling all donations and will present a check to the KM Legacy Foundation in a half-time ceremony during the October 8th Tackle Cancer Football Game against La Habra High School. Every dollar of your donation will be going to the KM Legacy Foundation and will be tax deductible. The Fullerton Indians Football Booster Club will provide you a non-profit tax I.D. number after receiving your donation.
In order to spread the word and make our cause visible to the school, community and city, we are also selling T shirts in support of the KM Legacy Foundation and all those fighting cancer. With your donation of $250 to $2500 your company logo will be placed on the back of our Tackle Cancer shirt. The pricing chart below indicates levels of donorship. Level 1 donors will have the largest logos on the Tackle Cancer shirt. For logos to be placed on the shirt in time for printing, donations need to be received by 3 p.m. on October 1st, 2021.
Please help us in raising money for this great cause and in support of the KM Legacy Foundation and all those fighting cancer.
If anyone knows anyone that can sponsor or owns a business that is willing to donate please Coach Salazar at rsalazar@fjuhsd.org. |

Seniors will have the opportunity to rotate through different college stations to help them prepare for life after high school. Stations include CSU Applications, UC Applications, Private/Out of State University Applications, Fullerton College, Community Colleges, Personal Statement Writing, and FAFSA. Seniors have been meeting with their Counselor and selecting what workshop they would like to attend on October 13th.
Juniors & Sophomores: PSAT or ASVAB
All Juniors have the option of taking the PSAT or the ASVAB. Students made their selection through a survey provided in English class.
Freshmen: PSAT 8/9 or Success Day
Freshmen will be taking the PSAT 8/9. This exam will be digital so all 9th-grade students need to bring their fully charged Chromebook with them. Any Freshman who has been identified as needing extra support to get on the track to success will be meeting in the MSA building and attending workshops covering organization, school involvement, and mental health. (Individual students will be contacted).
All Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen will need to check the breezeway beginning Tuesday, October 12th to see which classroom they will be assigned to.
If you have questions about the PSAT or PSAT 8/9 contact Counselor Erin DeFries edefries@fjuhsd.org. If you have questions about the ASVAB contact Mrs. Kim at hkim@fjuhsd.org. |

Student Attestation
Students should have received an email from the Fullerton Joint Union High School District using our Qualtrics Survey system asking about their vaccination status. So you are aware, we are asking for this information should we have to contact trace for a positive COVID-19
exposure. Remember, the protocols for a close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID are different when a student is vaccinated vs. unvaccinated. If quarantining is necessary the amount of days varies if your student is vaccinated or not. Getting the COVID-19 vaccine is voluntary for our students, for this inquiry, we are asking your student to voluntarily answer the question if they have been “fully vaccinated” or not. If they have not yet filled out this specific survey on their vaccination status, please have them search their school email for the Qualtrics Attestation Survey.

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.
