2024-2025 School Year
(Full packet is attached on the right top corner)
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians:
We are weeks away from our 2024-2025 school year! The first day of school for 9th graders and new students is Tuesday, September 3rd. School will start at the regular time that day, but students will not need school supplies. Start time for this school year will be 8:30 am. A Vik Crew member will be in contact with you about the details of our Viking Orientation on that day.
The first day of school for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors is Wednesday, September 4th at 8:30 am.
Before the beginning of every school year, we request that parents/guardians begin to review and update their family and student’s information. All current students both at CALC and FGHS must verify this information each year. Keeping your family's information up to date is crucial to receiving timely communication and ensures that we can reach you in case of an emergency. We will have the online verification option available again this year. Verification opens August 1st and can be completed on ParentVUE. Please call or email [email protected] if you need your password reset or if you do not have a ParentVUE account. The Online Registration Instructions can be found on our website. If you are not returning to FGHS, you must make contact with our office to withdraw your student.
School picture day will be hosted during our registration event August 12th-14th. Each family will have the option to purchase photos. All students will receive their student body card at no charge. These pictures will also be included in the yearbook. Please dress appropriately. Remember that you will not be allowed to wear your hat for these pictures. A fee of $2 will be charged for replacement student body cards.

9th Graders: Students may have earned high school credit from a math and/or world language class in middle school. To have this credit accurately reflected on the student's High School Transcript, the student/parent must fill out an application that must be approved by an administrator. The student must have earned a "C" or better in the class for the credit to be approved. Once approved, the course grade and credit will be placed on the student's transcript permanently. It will also count toward high school graduation requirements and will affect the student's grade point average. We strongly encourage students to wait until their 11th grade year to fill out an application. However, applications can be obtained at any time from the Counseling Office.
We hope these changes are helpful and time saving to streamline the registration processes. Please call the high school main office with any questions at 503-359-2432. This packet will be emailed and posted on our website as a resource with live links.
Sincerely,
Karen O’Neill
Principal
