Dear FUHS Families,

We had a great week at FUHS! Our ASB organized a great Cancer Awareness Week, culminating at our Football game Friday night where our Football Boosters fundraised and donated over $2000 to the KM Legacy Foundation! ASB also continued getting ready for Homecoming, which is this coming Friday and Saturday! Our activities and celebrations continue at FUHS!

Celebrations
Congratulations to our FUHS Marching Band & Pageantry Corps! They participated in the Costa Mesa Invitational this Saturday and placed 3rd! We are very proud of them as they get competition season started!
College Application and Success Day (PSAT/ASVAB Day)
College and Career Readiness Day

On Wednesday, October 13th we will have a special schedule to allow our students to participate in various activities designed to expose students to college as well as get our seniors ready to click submit on those applications! The school will also be covering the cost of the PSAT and ASVAB for all students.

School will start at 7:50am and end at 12:15pm.

Seniors: College Application Day
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. Sophomores will be taking the PSAT.

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.

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 is 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. Please ensure that your students bring a mask everyday.
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.
