Hello Lions,

The first four weeks of the third quarter are complete. This is the perfect time to discuss any missing assignments or failing grades with your student and come up with a plan to get on track. Our counselors and teachers are always available to discuss your student's progress and tutoring is offered daily. Let's work together to make this a successful semester!

Celebrating Students

This week we held two separate student award ceremonies - one for La Vista, Opportunity, and iSierra Online Academy students and one for students in the Adult Transition Program. Students were honored for being named the December student of the month by their teachers, and for their excellent academic achievements during the second quarter: perfect attendance, earning full credit in every class, earning straight A's, and being named the student of the quarter. Congratulations to:

The Student of the Quarter award is sponsored by the Assistance League of Fullerton. This organization is one of La Vista's strongest community partners. They donate generous gift cards to the students of the month, award yearly scholarships, provide refreshments at Back-to-School Night and Open House, organize Target shopping experiences, and more. They have been doing this for La Vista High School students for decades and we are grateful to have the support of this amazing service club. Thank you Assistance League of Fullerton.

Blood Drive

The La Vista/La Sierra ASB organized a very successful Blood Drive on Tuesday. This is a great community service project. We had 35 students and staff members volunteer to donate. Overall, 29 pints of blood were donated which the Red Cross says will save 77 lives. Way to go, Lions!

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.

If you would like to use Care Solace to help find a provider

Call 888-515-0595. Access Care Solace 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
