Freshman Orientation

FRESHMEN ORIENTATION

FHS will hold Freshmen Orientation Days on August 6 for students with last names beginning A-L and August 7 for students with last names M-Z. Freshmen Orientation will be held from 1:00-2:30 on both days in Bulldog Arena for all of our incoming 9th graders. These are student only events, so parents should drop students off at school and pick them up at the conclusion of the orientation. For your convenience, these orientations are being held in conjunction with Bulldog Blitz so you only have to come up to the high school once. During Freshmen Orientation, students will tour the building and participate in activities to help them acclimate to Fayetteville High School.

Freshman students can attend Bulldog Blitz either before freshman orientation or after orientation has finished at 2:30pm each day.

Student Cell Phone - IMPORTANT - Please Review

There will be no access to phone devices during instructional time in the fall semester. In January 2025, our GOAL is that K-12 schools will be phone free during the school day. Watch for more information from the district.

STUDENT ID CARDS

Student ID cards are REQUIRED to be worn by all FHS students during the school day. Student IDs are used for the safety of the students and staff in our high school.

If you are unable to attend Bulldog Blitz, your student ID can be picked up during the first week of school. Lost or stolen student IDs must be reported to the Office and replaced.
