MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Good Day All,
As we are approaching the return of our teachers and our Welcome Back event next week, we are getting very excited! Our custodial & office staff have been busy getting the building in order. We are so lucky to have such amazing, dedicated professionals committed to providing the best experience to our school community. And although most of the construction happened underground, we are looking forward to showing off the new commons flooring, an all-user bathroom in the commons, and upgrades to the sinks and countertops in the electives classrooms. We hope to see you all on Wednesday, 8/28.
Fowler’s Student Cell Phone Policy Notice: Please know that students are NOT permitted to use their cell phones during the school day from 8:15 am - 3:10 pm. If you need to get in contact with your student during the day, simply contact our main office and we will relay a message to them. All students are permitted to use the phone in the main office before/after school, during lunch or passing times. If your student has a cell phone, please start to make a plan with them regarding this policy. We know that reliance and addiction to devices can occur and as we transition back into a cell phone free environment your support is very important. Please know that we want to work in partnership with you developing a healthy, cell phone free school day.

HAPPENINGS
There are a handful of things we hope students will accomplish:
Get their schedule AND locker assignment
Meet their teachers. They will be in their classrooms.
Locate their Locker. Practice, load it up with your supplies, decorate… (Do not do anything that is permanent. i.e., stickers that are not removable, permanent markers, etc.)
iPad pickup.
Pick up their school supplies if you pre-ordered them.
PSO will have Fowler wear available for purchase.
Have a popsicle break. Frozen Fruit Bars on us!
No special order/sequence. You may move about as you choose. We do recommend picking up your schedule early in the process.
NOTE: The lines WILL BE longer at the beginning! They always are.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
We are in need of volunteers to make our Welcome Back Event a reality. If you are already approved in our volunteer system, please consider signing up for at least one slot. We appreciate your help!
