FALA Buzz
11/04/18
In this issue of the Buzz you will find information about important upcoming dates, senior portraits, and more!

Friendly reminder: winter is almost here, but living in Flagstaff we know that SNOW can strike at any time. FALA follows the FUSD decision to cancel or delay school.  FALA will also post this info on our Facebook page and School website.  

Remember that you will need extra time to get to school once winter is here. Snowbowl traffic will be a factor getting to school on time. PLEASE allow for extra time.
Important Dates:
November 9th - No School - Teacher In Service Day - This is following the FUSD Calendar change.

November 12th - No School - Veterans Day

November 21st-23rd - No School - Thanksgiving

December 7th - Regular Advisory Friday - Students released at 2:40. Changed due to FUSD Calendar change on November 9th.

April 24th, 2019 - This is no longer a Snow Day Make Up Day.
Lost and Found
“Somebody stole it!”  Maybe, but maybe not... It is time to purge the overflowing lost and found box.  Please have your young person check the lost and found for their missing item.  Thursday, November 8th, 2018 at 3:30pm any items left in the lost and found will be donated.   Thank you!
Senior Portraits
Senior Portraits are due by December 15th. This is designed so that families have time to take advantage of Autumn colors or snowscapes if they so desire. Photo requirements: JPG, 1000px or higher, no more than 10MB
 
Each senior is expected to submit a portrait and quote. They may use their own words, or a quote from someone they admire. If a portrait is not submitted, their ID photo will be substituted. If a quote is not submitted, the allotted space will be left blank.
 
Below are two options for photographers:

Counselor Update: Junior ECAP
The Counselors met with Juniors on Friday, Nov. 2nd in Advisory for an ECAP (Education Career Action Plan) lesson. We passed out transcripts so Juniors can see where they stand as far as credits and GPA are concerned. We also handed out a 4 year plan for graduation so Juniors can track their progress and plan for next year. In addition, we went over the College Checklist for Junior year. Parents, please talk to your Juniors about their ECAP, and visit the  FALA School Counseling Website  for more information.
