• House Point Celebration (details for students to come in Falcon Time)

Juanita High School is always excited to welcome our future Raven families to our campus for athletic events. At all four comprehensive high schools in LWSD, however, students in elementary and middle school MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian who will actively supervise their student(s) at all times. As we start the winter sports season, we thank our future JHS families for understanding and supporting this.

• Kirkland Nourishing Network is still raising funds to help cover grocery gift cards to distribute to families to help over Thanksgiving and Winter breaks. You can donate at Kirkland Nourishing Network – Helping Food Insecure Families with Food During Long School Breaks.
• Finn Hill Giving Tree – Help support some of our FH Families by donating gift cards or shopping for specific items requested for the holidays. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Kirstin Doughty at kdoughty@lwsd.org.

Are you going away for the holidays? Don't forget to fill out this Pre-Arranged Absence Form. Easy fillable pdf, then simply email it to Mrs. Davidson at attendance: finnhillmsattend@lwsd.org. Don't forget if your student is absent longer than three (3) consecutive days, both pages need to be filled out. Form is attached below.

At the front of your student’s planner is the Student Rights and Responsibilities (see above) that we need for you and your student to sign and return to the school. Some students have returned theirs and we are trying to get all forms returned before the winter break. You can sign and scan it to email sstephens@lwsd.org. if that is easier or the student can drop it off at the cash register window in the main office.
