Hello, Fallbrook Students & Families,
October marks our annual Kickoff to College & Career Readiness! This month, we focus on the the various ways our students can demonstrate College & Career Readiness and opportunities to explore the options that exist for students post-high school. Below are a couple of events scheduled for the start of the month!
- Tuesday, October 1st: Community Service Fair - Students can learn a lot about themselves and their interests through community service, while simultaneously working toward fulfilling the 40 community service hours that are part of our Fallbrook High School graduation requirements.
- Wednesday, October 9th: PSAT Day - On this day, ALL 11th graders will take the PSAT. 10th graders who indicated interest in early September will also have the opportunity to take the PSAT. Our seniors will begin looking ahead to graduation and beyond, with presentations from our graduation rep, college and career exploration, and more. Our 9th and 10th graders will review the College & Career Readiness Indicators, and will work on completing 4 year plans to ensure their course selections for the rest of high school align with their post-secondary plans.
Why the PSAT matters:
- This exam provides students the opportunity to practice for other college entrance exams, like the SAT, ACT, and other placement tests they may be asked to complete during the college application and entrance process. We are fortunate to be a part of a district that offers this opportunity to our students free of charge!
- Students who take the exam have the opportunity to qualify for a National Merit Scholarship; this includes anything from earning a Letter of Commendation to include with college applications to earning extensive scholarship allotments toward prestigious universities.
- Following the exam, students will receive AP Potential reports in their College Board accounts. This report indicates advanced placement courses for which students may have demonstrated a particular aptitude based on PSAT scores, and can help students consider more rigorous options as they plan the remainder of the high school courses.
Impact Aid Forms are Coming - Your Input is Needed for the Annual Impact Aid Survey!
As part of our annual data collection, we are asking for your participation in this year's Impact Aid survey. This survey plays a critical role in securing federal funding for our district.
What is Impact Aid? Impact Aid is a federal program that compensates school districts for lost tax revenue due to the presence of federally owned lands within their boundaries.
Why is it Important? Our school district receives approximately $1.8 million each year from this program. These funds are essential in providing the best educational experience for your children.
How to Participate:
Check your email for the digital survey link, it will be in your inbox on 10/02/2024 and shared through Parent Portal Communications. Complete and submit by November 1st, 2024.
Alternatively, paper copies can be picked up from the front office or sent home with your student.
Your timely participation is vital for the ongoing support of our educational programs. Let's continue to work together to make our school district great!
As an additional reminder, grades for the Trimester 1 Midterm Progress Report will be visible in the Aeries Parent Portal beginning on Monday, September 30th. If you have concerns about your student's progress, please reach out directly to your student's teachers and counselor for support.
If there is anything you need, please feel free to reach out by telephone at (760) 723-6300 x3102, x3110, or x3103, or by email through our website.
Let's make this a great week, Warriors!
