Back-to-School Business 

This week marks the conclusion of our FCPS summer school and online campus programs. We are incredibly proud of our students' dedication and hard work in these courses. Next week, we'll celebrate their course success and honor another group of PAWSome graduates ready to embark on their next adventures!

Be on the lookout, because in the next few weeks, FHS staff are heading to your homes and community centers as we plan goal setting and gear up strategies for a successful school year. We are committed to ensuring each student has a strong support system in place that will create a sense of belonging, an engaging schedule, and a plan for success both inside and outside school.  

As summer winds down, the calendar is filling up with amazing events designed to welcome EVERYONE back. Is your student an incoming freshman? You won't want to miss our Lions on the Rise Event! It's a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends, get acquainted with the school, and kick off the year with a ROAR. We also have our essential New Student Orientation and FEAR the ROAR Open House Jam planned for all grades to have the opportunity to preview schedules, say "hello" to their teachers, pick up their laptops, sign up for clubs, grab some gear, and purchase parking. SO MUCH FUN! 

The countdown is here--- School starts in 25 DAYS! 

Sincerely,

Included in this issue:
