Fairmont Senior High School

Good morning Polar Bear Nation: We appreciate your excitement in continuing to celebrate the Class of 2024, and we appreciate that you want to use our historic and beautiful campus for your graduation pictures. Help us keep it clean. Please do not use confetti cannons, color dust cannons or anything that will leave residue that is not cleaned up. Our groundsman and custodians work hard. Help us to help them maintain the facilities. Thank you

Attention Polar Bear Nation: If you have medication in the nurse's office, you need to pick it up from her office by Thursday 10:00 am. If you fail to pick up your medication, it will be disposed of shortly afterwards. Thank you and go bears!

Attention Polar Bear Nation: From Ms. Stiles: Recently Mr. Morris and I were talking about the possibility of adding some cardio equipment to our inventory. We thought rowing machines might be a good bet because of their full body workout and also for storage since they can be stored upright against a wall. I planned out a Donor's Choose project, to look at opportunities for crowd supported funding.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a large number of students hurrying through their practice tests and having you call and email to release them early. Today is not a "free" day but rather a very important step in the process of getting valuable test scores (practice or not) for your student. We are also having regular classes after we complete our practice testing. Please do not sign your student out if they say they are finished. They are 100% not finished, as we have multiple practice tests should they rush through their first attempt.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Please see the attached flyer for the FSHS LSIC Town Hall Meeting.

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Tomorrow, Tuesday March 19 is not only a 2 hour early release day, it is the day FSHS is doing a full SAT & PSAT practice test for 9th, 10th and 11th grades. Please make sure your student charges their Chromebook, AND BRINGS IT WITH THEM on Tuesday. It is also very important that your Polar Bear be on time so we can begin the practice test on time. LETS GO BEARS!
