Welcome to Flowing Wells Jr. High school, home of the proud Mustangs--the strong and mighty ones! We have great school pride and proudly wear our blue and gold. We're glad you're here to visit and learn more about our junior high school.
We have the pleasure of teaching your 7th and 8th graders every day. We've been here since 1976 and our teachers look forward to each year they have to spend time with your children. We want students to know and believe that learning is fun and the right attitude brings success. With just around 800 students, our teachers stay attentive as they teach each one of your children.
Flowing Wells Jr. High is located in the "Urban Fringe of a Large City," namely Tucson, AZ. With tons of community involvement, it's a wonderful location to educate your children and feel good about entrusting them in our care each day.
Please spend a few moments in this site to stay familiar with the school, its calendar and events, or anything else that interests you. Our FAQ page will help you find basic answers to your questions. If you can't find something you need to know, please contact us.
We encourage parents to check on student progress using their student’s WorldByMe account. This tool allows parents and students to discuss their student’s grades, progress, and allows parents and students to contact the teachers through email.
Dear Parents and Students,
Parent Conferences:
We will mail the third quarter grades on Monday, March 8. We will dismiss students at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday March 11 and Friday March 12 for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Teachers will be available both days from 1:00-3:00 p.m. to meet with parents. If it is necessary, you may also call the teacher(s) and schedule a specific appointment time. We encourage you to use this time to learn how your child is doing in class.
Festival Under the Stars:
Come out and enjoy a family fun festival on Friday, March 19 at Flowing Wells High School in the commons area. There will be great games and a lot of family entertainment. We hope to see you there!
Site Council:
Plan to join us Tuesday, March 16, 2010 in the office conference room. Bring a friend, and come check out the new school structure designed by the parent committee.
Field Day:
Friday, March 26 we will have our Field Day which is an exciting tradition we do every spring. Mr. Ruiz and the Student Council sponsor this event. This is a great day of competition and fun activities for students to be AMAZING! If you’d like to help out, please contact Mr. Ruiz at 696-8582 to volunteer.
Ninth Grade Registration:
Eighth graders will be registering for the high school a new way this year during the month of March. Parents, please join us for High School Night on Monday, March 8 at 6:00 p.m. in the Junior High Auditorium to meet the Flowing Wells High School administrators. Learn about registration, classes and expectations from the high school. On Monday, March 8 and Tuesday, March 9, eighth graders will gather in the auditorium to watch a high school orientation video and then get registration packets. On Thursday, March 11, during 1st and 2nd periods, we are hosting the high school elective fair. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions to help determine their electives. On Friday, March 12, eighth graders will meet in the auditorium to choose electives with the FWHS counselors. On Monday, March 15 and Tuesday, March 16, eighth graders will register for their classes online with the FWHS counselors.
Eighth Grade Registration:
Our current seventh graders will meet with counselors and administrators during the week of March 15. They will bring home elective selection sheets requiring a parent signature. Then they will register for their classes online with the JH counselors. Please speak with your child about his/her selections for next year.
AIMS Testing:
The state-mandated AIMS test is right around the corner from April 12-16. These reading, writing, math, and science assessments are required of students in grades 3-10. The state determines when we must administer these tests and the order in which they must be given. Parents, we ask and appreciate that you not make plans for extended trips that would prevent your child from being here for the tests. All students must take the AIMS test. Encourage your child to try his/her best on each section.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, the team at FWJHS would love to help. Feel free to contact your student’s teacher or myself at 696-8552.
Sincerely,
Pete Wells, Principal
