11th Grade-Junior Edition
1st Day of School Info For 11th Grade Students
Not a Junior?
Are you a new 11th or 12th grade student to the district?
The 1st Day Is Unique!
I am excited to welcome the class of 2023 to the campus of Fife High School! The 1st day of school for Juniors is Thursday September 2nd, but it is a late start for you. You need to be here at 11:40AM.
The first day is designed as an orientation day. In the morning on the first day we will be welcoming our 10th grade, in the afternoon we will have activities with your class. We stagger our start with each grade level reporting at different times to slowly acclimate everyone to being back on campus.
In person!
I'm so thankful that we will be seeing you in person. While we will not be able to do some of our traditional first day activities due to COVID rules, like an all school assembly, for example, we will still make the most of what we can do to make it a great first day experience. That said, I can tell you that this year's first day will be better than last years, which was spent in a 3 hour zoom session!
Please read all the information in this newsletter carefully so you have a complete understanding of what your first day will look like! I am beyond excited to get to meet you and welcome you to your high school adventure.
Get 'em Trojans!

What time do I start School on the 1st day?
11th Grade- Juniors
Where do I go when I get to school? When you arrive just head through the red gates and you will see people greeting you and pointing you in the right direction. When you arrive you will head to your Family class where you will get a copy of your class schedule, meet your Family teacher, and learn about the rest of the day. Look in Skyward to see what your Family teacher and room number is before you arrive, but don't worry we will have people helping you out if you don't know that prior to coming.
What is Family class? Family is simply what we call our advisory period. You will have this same teacher for the next two years, which really helps you get to know this teacher really well!
Transportation, how do I get to school?
Juniors have late arrival on Thursday 9/2. If you can provide your own transportation Do NOT come to school until 11:40AM.
If you need to ride the bus in the morning, however, buses will be running on our normal bus schedule. Press this Link For Bus Route INFO. If you need to ride the bus on the 1st day please report to the cafeteria when you arrive on campus.
