Week Four in the Lion Pride!

Hello Lions,

One of the highlights of week four in Lion Country was Back-to-School Night on Wednesday. The activities started off in the library with an Awards Ceremony for the LV/LS August Students of the Month. These students have made a positive impression on their teachers for their productivity and citizenship. They are making good choices, focusing on their goals, and earning all their credit - which is what LV/LS is all about!

Congratulation to the August Students of the Month!

After the awards ceremony, families visited their students' classrooms on a ten-minute bell schedule. Thank you to the families who came out in this heat to meet the teachers who work so hard to make school an engaging and positive experience for their students. Parent participation in their child's education has a direct impact on student success. If you were unable to attend Back-to-School Night and would still like to get information on your student's classes please reach out to his or her teachers. Teacher contact information is available on the school website -

The Assistance League of Fullerton served refreshments to our families at Back-to-School Night. This service organization is one of our school's biggest community supporters. In addition to serving snacks at parent events, the Assistance League also gives a gift certificate to our students of the quarter, and provides generous scholarships to our graduates at the end of the year. In addition, the Assistance League sponsors a yearly Target shopping spree called Operation School Bell for deserving students. Thirty LV/LS students participated in Operation School Bell this Wednesday. Thank you, Assistance League of Fullerton!

The Club Culture in the Adult Transition Program (ATP) is strong. There are twenty-one clubs for ATP students to choose from. The Uno Club (pictured

Another primary focus of ATP is developing students' independent living and vocational skills. Over thirty businesses in the community have partnered with LSHS to give ATP students authentic work experiences. Mrs. Long Latteri's class practices ordering and delivering food, and counting change with their weekly Starbucks run. And I got a treat on a hot Friday!

The US Marines sponsored a pull-up contest during lunch on Thursday. We have a lot of strong lions at LV/LS! The different branches of the military

come to campus throughout the year to answer questions our students have about careers in the service. If your student is interested in a career in the military please encourage him or her to speak to their counselor for more information.

The LV/LS Student Ambassadors held their September meeting this week. This was the Ambassador's second meeting of the year and they are really starting to understand their role in providing feedback to administration, counselors, and ASB to make everyone's experience at LV/LS even better!

Next Thursday is an early-release day at LV/LS. Please click on the buttons below to review the early-release bus and bell schedules for next Thursday.

For the 2022-23 school year, FJUHSD was approved to implement Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at Buena Park, Fullerton Union, La Habra, and La Vista High Schools. Parents with students who attend these schools will not be required to complete a lunch application form. Conversely, FJUHSD was not approved for CEP for Sunny Hills, Sonora, and Troy High Schools. While meals will continue to be served to students at no cost at non-CEP schools, the District will be encouraging parents who may qualify for free and reduced meals to complete a 2022-23 lunch application. The District Food Services team is here to support. Please contact us for questions or assistance at (714) 870-2820 or by email at foodservices@fjuhsd.org.

Dear FJUHSD Families,

This past year may have presented a variety of difficulties for students and their families. Some of us, including our students, are experiencing fatigue in response to the pandemic and other factors. Some students are disconnecting (or disengaging) and may find it hard to motivate ourselves and engage in school. Before the pandemic, one in four may have needed help maintaining our mental health. Those numbers are on the rise and reaching higher levels due to limited in-person connections to people, places, and things that help us stay healthy.

As our district works in accordance with state and local guidelines to safely reopen campuses we know that the process is challenging and many in our community are in need of help.

If a student or family member is in need of support or are worried about a loved one, Care Solace can help students and their families find mental health and substance use treatment options matched to your needs regardless of the circumstance.

FJUHSD students, staff, and families can use Care Solace at no charge to them. Care Solace’s team is available 24/7 and can support students and families in any language.
