Fairview Alternative High School

On October 2nd FAHS students went on their second visit to the Cafesjian Art Trust museum in Shoreview. In collaboration with the museum, students are studying the history of the American studio glass movement. The students have learned about numerous glassmaking processes and individual artists including famous glass artist, Dale Chihuly. After their research in the museum students created their own artwork inspired by a glass artwork.

October is College Knowledge Month in Minnesota and to celebrate, the colleges and universities of Minnesota State are waiving their application fees for the entire month. At FAHS, our students will be learning about all of the post-secondary options for students after graduation. We will be going on a field trip in late October to the National College Fair, a career Mobile Lab will be coming to FAHS, guest speakers will be available, and research about careers will occur in multiple classes.

Want to learn more about Financial Aid for post secondary educational options? There are several sessions to learn more about FASFA. See below for more information.

Come learn about what skills your student will be developing and an opportunity to give us your feedback for the upcoming school year.

Important Notice: New Immunization Requirements for Roseville Area Schools

Starting Monday, October 21, 2024, Roseville Area Schools will enforce the Minnesota immunization law. This is crucial for maintaining healthy and safe school communities. Here's what you need to know:

Students must meet one of the following criteria to continue attending school:

• Have received all required immunizations
• Have a scheduled immunization appointment
• Have submitted a notarized exemption form

Starting October 21, 2024:

• Students who do not meet the immunization requirements will be instructed to stay home until the requirements are met.
• These absences will be marked as unexcused.

Why this matters:

• This policy helps protect our most vulnerable students, who are unable to receive vaccines.
• It minimizes the time students miss due to disease outbreaks, as those not immunized may be required to stay home per the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH).

If your student is missing any immunizations, you will receive a notice from the school's health office. Please respond promptly to ensure your student can remain in school.

For questions or concerns, contact your school’s health office.
