From the Principal's Desk

Greetings FWAFA Family,

Important to note: The Ascender Parent Portal link has changed. To access the new link, go to Artsacademics.org and then click on FWAFA Portal. You can then bookmark this new link.

Also, parent and medical notes for unexcused absences must be submitted to the main office within 3 days after the absence.

We have lots of new events and activities to share this week. Take a look!

Creatively yours,

Dr. Jackson

We are currently distributing Chromebooks to all high school students. If you do not have your own laptop, please complete the Technology Loan form that was emailed to you through JupiterEd and turn it into the main office. We will start distributing to other grade levels (7th and up) in the next weeks while supplies last.

Photo proofs came home last week. They were passed out in your child’s English class.

Please make sure that you ask your child about them so you can get them and they don’t get lost.

There are 3 ways for you to order: You can order via Venmo, order online using the unique access id on the proof, or you can include payment info in the paper proof envelope.

Your child must return the paper proof back with their preferred yearbook picture checked off or circled in order to have a say of what picture they want in the yearbook. Also, returning the paper proof is the ONLY way they can get their school ID.

Orders and proofs are due by November 18th. They can turn them into their English teachers, the office, or to me.

The names that are on the proofs will be the name that will be listed in the yearbook. I took the names from the official roster through Ascender. If there are any issues with the name listed, please make the change on the proof or you can email Ryan Wiggins, and she will make note of what needs to be changed.

Thank you and if you have any questions, please reach out to ryan.wiggins@fwafa.org.

Thanks in advance for your orders and help getting the proofs returned.

Coming online to you on November 12. Stay tuned!
