Counselors begin holding Junior Advisement Meetings on October 21 and will continue these meetings through the end of the semester. Students should have received a postcard in the mail with the assigned date and time of their meeting.

Attendance for this meeting is mandatory for all Juniors and optional for parents. We ask that for the sake of timeliness, any parents who want to join will do so VIRTUALLY. Please provide your assigned counselor with at least 24 hours notice so she can provide you a TEAMS link. Counselors schedule these meetings back-to-back, and if students are more than 5 minutes late, they may be asked to reschedule.

If you did not receive your postcard in the mail, email your assigned counselor. Counselors will also post their Junior Advisement Schedules outside their doors in the counseling suites and students can check their meeting times at their own convenience.

Thank you!

Coming to school and being present and attentive is vital. Attending school regularly is essential for academic success, personal development, and preparing for future opportunities. It sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning and achievement. 

To recognize students who demonstrate exemplary attendance and behavior, a special graduation cord will be awarded under the following conditions: 

• TARDIES: Students must have NO unexcused tardies.  
• ABSENCES: Students must have NO unexcused absences. Students may have FIVE (5) or fewer excused absences per semester. 

EXCUSED ABSENCE DOCUMENTATION 

Documentation for any absence type must be provided within five days of returning to school for an absence to be excused.  Parents and/or guardians may send an email or handwritten note to the school to document a student absence.  If needed, the principal or designee will verify the email address and the credibility of the email.  The following must be included in all documentation: 

• Student Name 
• Student FCS ID Number (lunch number) 
• Parent/Guardian Name 
• Parent/Guardian Email & Phone Number 
• DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS: Students must have NO instances of In-School-Suspension (ISS) and/or Out-of-School Suspension (OSS). 

This cord is a symbol of your commitment to punctuality, consistent attendance, and maintaining positive behavior throughout your high school career. 

This proposal aims to ensure that the new graduation cord is not only understood but also valued by students as a meaningful symbol of their hard work, commitment, and readiness for the future. By clearly communicating the criteria and providing the necessary support, we can encourage more students to strive for this honor. 

Start Date: Tuesday, October 1, 2024
