News & Announcements
Permanent Impressions
The safety of our students is a constant concern for parents, especially when they are unable to be with their children. In an effort to maintain your child's safety as a high priority, we are offering a fingerprint safety program to all children and their siblings. In the event of an emergency, time is the single and most crucial element. Gathering essential information for law enforcement personnel is time-consuming and can be difficult to accomplish during a stressful situation. On Thursday, March 29, an officer will be on campus to fingerprint your student. If you would like your child to get his or her fingerprints taken, please fill out the Permanent Impressions form, and turn it in to Carly Loucks.


Re-Enrollment News
Due to our campus being at capacity this school year, it is imperative that you re-enroll your student now that enrollment is open to new families. Enrollment is currently on a first-come, first-served basis, and a $300 registration fee is applied to all 2018 ---      2019 enrollments. If you have any questions, please email or call to speak with Fairmont North Tustin Admissions Director Ms. Behlings.

Husky Highlight
Fairmont Prep Students Skype with Author of Class Textbook
A unique goal of AP English Language classes at Fairmont Prep is an intensive study of rhetoric and argumentation. Students examine a wide variety of texts, including those emerging in current headlines, to decipher the tricks of persuasion's trade.

On Monday, March 19, Mrs. Silver's classes were treated to a Skype conversation with Jay Heinrichs, the author of their textbook, Thank You for Arguing. Having the chance to personally ask questions and pose argument scenarios to Mr. Heinrichs was an unforgettable experience.

"I had the amazing opportunity to speak to a very witty and knowledgeable writer," one student observed. "Having something like this organized definitely helped with using our limited time wisely, and I could absorb as much information as possible. Talking to an author about [his] book really opens up the language that the writing was created with, and personally, I was able to understand more of Thank You for Arguing in the perspective of Mr. Heinrichs. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to be introduced to Mr. Heinrichs and to have some of my questions answered, and he has now gained a fanboy."

Many thanks to Mr. Heinrichs for spending his time and sharing his stories with our students. Our research and writing in AP English Language are rhetorically flourishing!
