Fuquay-Varina High School freshmen, class of 2016, are invited to visit the school campus in a few weeks to meet new friends and see old ones. They will also have the chance to meet several teachers and some upperclassmen who will be lending a hand. There will be lots of fun activities to help everyone get to know each other better and to help new students learn their way around campus before the first day of school on Monday, Aug. 27. Visit the School Website for more information. http://fvhs.wcpss.net

Attendance for Freshman Camp will depend on the first letter of the student’s last name. Students are asked to attend on their designated day. Students who need to attend on a different day, please email Freshman Camp coordinator, Jesse Brush at jbrush@wcpss.net or call the Main Office 557-2511.

During a presentation in the Media Center, students will receive their class schedules for the upcoming school year, learn important information about Bengal Pride Advisory, and have a chance interact with upperclassmen. In addition, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and become familiar with the Steps of Intervention, the bell schedule and the Working Lunch program.

If you ask any new student entering high school what their biggest fear is, getting lost is usually number one. That is why there is an entire session designed to allow students to navigate their way around our campus. The Scavenger Hunt is intended to introduce students to FVHS hallways and classrooms and help them find their way on the first day of school.

Lifetouch will take pictures so they can produce ID cards. Pictures will only be taken for rising 9th graders who did not attend Fuquay-Varina Middle or do not have a Wake County picture on file. Pictures will be taken during Freshman Camp between 7:45-8:30 a.m. in the Main Gym. Lifetouch will have its official picture date for all students on Monday, Sept. 24.
