Another week and still going strong for the beginning of the school year here at Fullerton Union High School. Our activities and our athletic teams are beginning to pick up steam! Involvement is the key to both enjoying high school more and also will help with future success. If your student has not gotten involved in an activity yet, please suggest to them to find a club or a sport.

Club Rush was earlier in the week and many of our clubs were out there recruiting students to join.

Campus Safety is our top priority. Prior to this year, ID's have been mandatory on campus. We are continuing with this rule again this year. We are asking that parents help support this rule and encourage your student to bring their ID's to campus every day. ID's are necessary for many procedures on campus including, checking out books from the library, buying food in our cafeteria, buying items in our ASB Office, etc. It is especially necessary when walking through campus. Our administration, teachers, and campus security need to ensure that only our students are on our campus. Students that do not have their ID visible risk getting a school disciplinary consequence. If an ID was lost and needs to be replaced, they are $5 and can be purchased from our ASB Office.
Our school district has also now purchased RAPTOR, for our visitor screening process. If you are planning to come on campus you must come in through our front office and receive a visitors pass. You will need to show your ID and we will run it through our RAPTOR system, which will then produce a visitors pass with a picture ID.
We would like to thank you in advance for helping us maintain a safer campus.

Every year our counselors meet with every student individually. Parents are always welcome to join their student to hear about their four year plan and to check in on their graduation status. Counselors have now begun their individual meetings with our Seniors. Graduation is important and the school year will go by fast! If you have any questions about these meetings, please call or email your student's counselor.

The Fullerton High School Athletic Department welcomes all of our students back to school! We are anticipating a great year as we compete in athletics. Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this athletic update!
Let's begin with volleyball!
The Lady Indians had two non league contests and they participated in the Tustin High Volleyball tournament. On Monday, the team lost to a very good Montebello HS team but on Thursday, they rebounded with a win over Garden Grove HS. In the Tustin Volleyball Tournament, the Indians had four matches on Saturday and ended up with a 1-3 record. They beat El Modena HS but lost to Whittier Christian, Tustin and Kennedy High Schools. Next up, the Indians play Rosary HS at home on Tuesday, August 28.
The Varsity Football team played in its home opener on Friday night. It was "Youth Night" and over 100 children were given FUHS t-shirts, wrist bands and ran through the Fullerton HS banner at halftime! In the game, the Indian defense played well, but unfortunately, the visiting Whittier HS Cardinals won the game 21-0. On Friday, August 31, the team travels to Canyon High School in Canyon Country (in the Santa Clarita Valley) to play Golden Valley HS.
The Girls Golf team began non-league competition this week. On Tuesday, in the first match, the Indians hosted California HS at Fullerton Golf Course. California ended the day defeating the Indian golfers. On Wednesday, the ladies traveled to La Mirada Golf Course for a second match against Cal High. Cal also won this match. However, the Lady Indians improved their overall team score. Next up, the golfers play Western HS on Tuesday, August 28 at Dad Miller Golf Course.
Our Girls Tennis team begins plays this week versus Crean Lutheran on Tuesday the 28th. The match is at Crean Lutheran HS. On Thursday, the Boys Water Polo team travels to Tustin HS for its first match of the season at 3:15. Finally, our Cross Country team competes Wednesday, September 5th versus Montebello HS at Lake Legg Park in El Monte.
At all of our games, our fans are encouraged to support our teams and to cheer them on to victory!
