Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Students,

The month of May is filled with important dates for students and families. Please keep the calendar handy and check notices and invitations sent home to be sure you don’t miss any special events – band/orchestra/choir concerts, Sports Awards, Eighth Grade Awards, and Student Council Awards.

Eighth grade parents, please pay particular attention to the date of the 8th Grade Promotion Dance – Friday, May 15. The hours of the dance are 5:30-8:00pm. We are firm in our expectation that students and parents not treat this like a high school prom – no risqué clothing, no limousines. Mr. Ruiz, Student Council sponsor, has written an article in our May newsletter detailing the expectations for this 8th grade dance that each parent and student should read.

May 19-21 are early release days for the junior high. Students will complete their final exams during class these days. The last day of school is Thursday, May 21. Students must have all textbooks and uniforms turned in before the last day of school. Also, all class fees and cafeteria balances must be paid before the last day of school. Students will not be issued a Certificate of Promotion if they have any outstanding fees or materials owed. Eighth graders will not be permitted to register for high school without this Certificate and 7th graders will have the overdue amount carried over to next year. The best thing to do – take care of it all before May 21!

Thank you to each parent and family member for supporting the junior high’s mission to provide an excellent educational experience for every student. Your involvement is the critical piece in ensuring your child’s success. On behalf of everyone at FWJH, I wish you all a safe and fun summer! It has been my privilege to work with you and your families this year.

Pete WellsSincerely,



Pete Wells, Principal
