FALA School Success Tips

Parking Permits

Only Seniors and Juniors may drive to school.

Click here to access the parking permit request form.

Seniors and Juniors need to apply for a parking permit during the schedule pick up time by bringing this form (completed) and the $25 fee. Seniors will get their spots right away, and juniors will get spots once senior spots are assigned. Once schedule pick up is over spots will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.

Auditions!

Jazz Band Auditions will be held on Friday Aug. 3 from 11 - 12:30 . Students should bring instruments (unless they play keyboard or drums, in which case instruments will be provided). They will need to be prepared to play scales plus a music selection of their choice.

African Drum and Dance Auditions will be on both Weds. Aug 1 and Thurs. Aug.2 from 10 - 12 on both days.

Advanced Acting Auditions will be held July 31st from 10:00 - Noon.

Advanced Musical Theater Auditions will be held July 31st from Noon - 2 p.m.

Let's Wow Them Again!

Appreciation Team needs organizers to adopt events for this school year.

Last year, FALA teachers & staff were amazed by the wonderful meals and gifts FALA parents provided through the FALA Volunteers’ Appreciation Team.

The Appreciation Team is now recruiting additional parents to help organize lunches & gifts throughout the year .

Interested in a creative way to support FALA? Got some new ideas? You pick the event that fits your schedule. (Don’t worry: FALA parents always generously support with food and funds!)
