Fountain Hills High School
Hello Falcon Families!
One week left in Term 2! Please make sure you get plenty of rest this weekend and early next week in preparation for Final Exams on 2/15 and 2/16. I’d like to congratulate all students and staff and the entire community for a successful Term 2! One more left! We look forward to seeing all students at the neon-themed Hoopcoming Dance in the High School Aux Gym on Saturday 2/10 from 7:30-10:30 pm. As always, please celebrate responsibly and make good choices. Health and safety are always priority one! I've had the opportunity to watch all winter sports this season multiple times. I’d like to congratulate both Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer on successful seasons and to wish Coach Salzman and the wrestlers good luck at Sectionals and State competition and Coach Bonner and Coach Baca good luck as their respective basketball teams enter the playoffs! Please check the marquee and the website in the coming days for game dates and times and try to support our teams either here at home or on the road. I’d also like to shout out to our facilities’ colleagues Rick Harris, James (JC) Collins and Juan Ramos and his crew for keeping everything up and running and dry during this colder rainy season. Fountain Hills weather is tough to predict and they are always ready for anything. Thank you to teachers and staff for always caring about what is best for students. Good luck to all our athletes in the current weeks and all of our students on Final Exams. I hope to see you all around campus or out in the community.
Registration
Today we finished the last of our grade level presentations to help students choose their classes for next year. Everyone has been given a course information card to complete. They will need to bring those back when we meet next week for selecting their specific courses through PowerSchool. Please click to download a copy of the
Course Information Cards. We did find a few minor errors that we have since fixed. Have your student make sure that they see the most updated information. Those students who are planning on taking an Honors Math, Science, English, or Social Studies class must make sure that they bring their Honors Class Agreement packet back signed. To learn more about the courses being offered, please check out our course guide book that is found on our website.

Testing Season Is Upon Us
It’s that time of year! We have several tests that will be administered this winter and spring. Please be on the lookout for a variety of communication in regards to more specific details on schedules and how the assessment will impact your student.
ASVAB
Last week our seniors took the ASVAB. This test highlights their strongest skills. We have an Army Recruiter who will be coming in the next few weeks to help explain their results. The students will receive their test results next week during the Advisory period. If they are at EVIT during Advisory, they will need to see Mrs. Kane for their report.
ACT
The juniors are finishing their ACT Test Prep class on February 16th. As a district we would like to see how the class has helped them and give all students the opportunity to see the test prior to state testing. With that being said, all juniors will take the ACT on Wednesday, February 28th at 7:45. The testing period will run until 11:45. Any student who usually takes the bus will still have transportation available. This will be an asynchronous day for all our students.
NAEP
Fifty of our seniors were selected to participate in the NAEP test to help with the national report card for our nation’s schools. At this time all students participating should have received their letter in the mail. The testing will take place on Friday, March 1st. More details to follow.
State Testing
Our 9th-11th graders will be participating in state testing at the beginning of April. Freshman will take the ACT Aspire, while the juniors will take the ACT. Our sophomores will be taking the District PreAct during this time as well. Below are our schedule dates and specific tests. As we get closer, we will share the bell schedule for these days.
