Did you know that juniors and seniors are allowed 2 days each school year to visit colleges/universities? (These visits cannot be accrued to the next year.) The student needs to bring a note back from the college/university confirming they were on a campus visit and give it to Mrs. Gonzalez, our attendance clerk, in the front office. We encourage students and parents to visit campuses in order to learn about the programs the college/university offers as well as get a feel for the campus and the student body.

Do you need a Verification of Enrollment (VOE)?

Please use the VOE request form if need verification of enrollment over the summer break for driver's license or permit test. Once you have completed your request, you will receive a signed VOE in your FISD email within the hour.
