THE FALCON FORUM

ADMINISTRATIVE’S CORNER
I hope you have had the opportunity to hear about the great things happening at Fivay High School. If not, please take a moment and visit our website to read about the Autism Walk, Relay for Life, Band
Competition, student award winners and more.
FCAT and End of Course exams are coming up quickly. Please check the dates in the newsletter or on the website and make sure your child is in attendance for these very important tests. We will be providing breakfast to all students involved in the 9th and 10th grade FCAT testing on the mornings the testing is scheduled. I just want to take a moment and say a sincere thank you to the parents and students who have supported
Fivay High School over the past two and a half years.
As a new school, we have been challenged by incidents that are very difficult to deal with and that create a climate of distrust and disruption. Fivay High School is a good school. Opening a new school and building a sense of belonging and school pride is never easy. We have worked diligently over the past two and a half years to accomplish this goal. As a result of the dedication of faculty and staff, support from parents and hard work from students, we are experiencing success on many fronts. We look forward to great things at Fivay High School.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
