Week Six in the Lion Pride!

Hello Lions,

Progress reports went out this week. If you have any questions or concerns about your student's progress report please contact your student's teacher or counselor. Contact information for all La Vista/La Sierra staff members can be found on the La Vista/La Sierra Website. Just click on the "About Us" tab and scroll down to Staff Directory. As a reminder, if your student needs support in any of his or her classes we have several tutoring opportunities on campus:

Lunchtime Tutoring is offered every day in the library and, as an added bonus, students earn elective credit for participating.
EL/Community Liaison, Mr. Medina, provides targeted tutoring for our English Learners on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the library during periods 7 and 8.
The After-School Program tutors are available from 3:30-5:30 Tuesday-Thursday in the library. Like Lunchtime Tutoring, elective credit is given to participants.

On Wednesday, students from the Adult Transition Program went back to the farm as part of their ongoing agriculture collaboration with the University of California South Coast Research and Extension Center(SCREC). This program encourages our ATP students to consider careers in agriculture. They learn skills like propagating vegetables in the greenhouse, harvesting, maintaining vegetable row crops, pruning, irrigation, and insect detection and identification.

Another event that took place on Wednesday was a visit from the U.S. Army. Army representatives set up a table with pamphlets and other information about careers in the army. They also hosted a pull-up/dip contest for our students.

On Thursday, the Phoenix House organization set up a table offering information and resources regarding mental health and suicide prevention. They engaged students in identifying who and what provides support during difficult times and also had students write positive messages to their classmates. Finally, Phoenix House sunshined the "Managing Stress and Anxiety" 5-week curriculum group they will be offering at La Vista/La Sierra in October.

Don't forget, 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.
