FCJHS Families:
Per Dr. Chatterton's announcement on 9/21/2020, Thursday, October 8 & Friday, October 9 will be remote learning for all FCCUSD 265 students. While students will have remote projects &/or activities to do, teachers will not be available to meet with our students. Instead, teachers will be reaching out to talk more in depth with you about how the school year is going so far, and remote vs. face to face learning. As you know the 1st quarter end looms near & any decisions to change placement will need to be made known to the district by Tuesday, 10/13/2020. More information will become available next week from FCCUSD 265 Central Office regarding how and where to report that information.
Also on October 8 & October 9, Grab-N-Go Sack Meals will be available. However, those will need to be ordered by tomorrow, 9/30/2020. A pdf of this order form has been sent to your email.
PICTURE RETAKES ARE SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 20
New order forms and a different code will be provided closer to the date as will further details for remote learners.
Tomorrow night (9/25), the high school will have their very own version of “Friday Night Lights”. The football team will be practicing, the cheerleaders will be cheering, and the band will be performing. The evening will kickoff at 7:15pm when the Golden Wave Band will play the school song. This will be followed by football practice and sideline cheerleaders performing. Families and fans are encouraged to attend. Seating in the home bleachers will be by reservation only. If you plan to attend and want to sit in the home bleachers, contact Activities Director Jeff Flater at jflater@dist265.com. There will be designated areas for all other spectators. In addition, entrance into the stadium will require a face covering. So, if you’re missing the Farmington Stadium lights on, the band playing, the cheers yelling, and footballs flying in the air, come out on Friday, Sept. 25 for a fun-filled night.
Junior High Students, if you are planning to attend the “Friday Night Lights” event planned for tomorrow, you will need to be accompanied by a parent and be required to sit with them. Wandering around and playing football in open spaces will not be allowed due to Covid restrictions and social distancing.
The lunch menu has changed for Monday September 21st. We will be serving spaghetti instead of tenderloin.

Parents,
As many of you already know, we will not be able to attend school for in-person learning on Thursday August 20th and Friday August 21st. This is not due to COVID-19, but it is due to a boil order that affects our school and the community of Farmington. Instead, these days will become Remote Learning Days.
Our teachers and staff have been working very hard over the past couple of days, and are embracing the challenge of starting off our year remotely. We are trying to stay consistent as possible. The following are the plans for Thursday August 20th. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s teacher directly.
