Our school year is well underway and clubs are starting to meet, athletics is about to start league competition, fundraisers are happening, and progress reports are almost out. In an effort to ensure that our classes are balanced for the remainder of the school year, some class changes needed to happen. Thank you for understanding. It is always our goal to balance our classes with the least amount of disruption as possible. If you do have any questions about any class changes, please feel free to contact our amazing counseling team or administration.

In celebration of our 125th Anniversary as a school, we had our first event celebrating the opening of the school year with a "Ringing of the Bell Rally" during break time! Memorabilia was available in our Staff Lounge. Most of it has now been relocated to our library for a wonderful display put together by our library technician Ms. Page. I am most excited about finding the kayaks! We will be finding a special place for them on our campus soon!
Future events include:
- Community & Alumni Tours - 3rd Friday of each month beginning in Sept. 21st.
- Homecoming Weekend - Oct. 5-6, 2018

Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this athletic update!
For this week's athletics update, I'd like to highlight one of our dedicated athletes. This athlete epitomizes several of the objectives we have for Fullerton Athletics: leading by example, being a team player, staying positive, hard working, competitive and one that never gives up!
Her name is Eliza Lynch and she is on the Girls Varsity Tennis team. On Thursday, in our match against El Dorado, she was playing in a 3rd round match near the end of the meet. Her opponent was a very good player. Eliza however, never gave in. She would get behind and fight back. It was exciting to watch her hit return after return; staying alive in the match. The match was tied 6 games to 6. Now the tiebreaker game. Once again she battled back from a deficit and won the tiebreaker 9-7 and the match! It was an awesome moment. We are proud of you Eliza!
Speaking of tennis, the team battled against high ranking opponents, Los Altos and El Dorado. The overall team score did not go our way, but individually, we had many close matches, like Eliza's! The girls are improving every day
Our girls golf team was victorious once again this week with another win over Western High! The team starts league play this Tuesday, Sept. 11 against La Habra.
Volleyball also starts league play on Monday, Sept. 10 at home in the north gym. Freshmen start at 3:15, with JV and varsity to follow. The team has been playing very tough competition. The games are close and the final result does not always end in our favor. But the girls keep working hard and are looking forward to league play!
Our football team battled CIF champion El Modena on Friday night. The Indians did not win the game, but the defense again proved strong. The team is getting better and better each week. They play Brea HS at Brea on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7pm. Come and support the team!
On Wednesday, Sept 5, our cross country teams competed against Montebello High. We had several strong performances! On Friday, the 14th, we have 28 runners competing in the Woodbridge Invitational at Silverlakes Sports Complex in Irvine.
Our Boys Water Polo team played two games on Friday, Sept. 7 in the Weisz Water Polo tournament at El Dorado High. In the first game, the Indians lost 9-7 against a strong Loyola team. However, they bounced back in the second game and defeated Laguna Hills 9-8! Go Indians!

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.
