🦁 Roar Roundup, Nov. 4 in the Field House
IMPORTANT UPCOMING EVENT: The ROAR ROUND UP!
Fairfax High School is excited to welcome back mini-Parent/Teacher Conferences. The ROAR Round Up will be hosted on Monday, November 4, from 8:30 am-11:30 am.
- The field house will be set up with rows of tables, organized by department, with teachers sitting in alphabetical order within each dept. They will have signs above their heads so you know who's who.
- Doors to the field house will not open early. The field house lobby, however, will be open around 8:15 and light refreshments will be provided.
- Bring a copy of your child's schedule or have a list of teacher names from your student. If you forget, copies of student schedules will be available, but bringing your own will result in one less line in which you need to stand. You can chat with the teachers in any order, you do not have to follow your child's schedule.
- Lines form in front of each teacher, when it is your turn, step forward and sit down. You will have 4-6 minutes to chat with the teacher. If you request a longer conference, it may be better to work with the teacher or counselor to schedule an appointment for a different time.
The teacher will have your child's current grade report as a reference. You can ask if any assignments are missing. You can ask if homework is being turned in on time. You can ask about test corrections, retakes, support, etc. You can learn if your child is taking advantage of these policies to improve their grade. If your child is struggling in class, you can ask if they have gone to the teacher's classroom during Lion Time or stayed after school to get help during coach class or the learning lounge. You can also ask if there is anything you can do to support your student.
How long will it take? It depends on how many other parents are there to see the same teachers as you. If you are the only one in line to see your child's 7 teachers, you could be done in 20-30 minutes. You can come within any time during the 8:30-11:30 window.

Support the Class of '25
The All Night Grad (ANG ‘25) committee is working concessions Nov. 16 & 17 at the Fairfax City Holiday Craft Show at Fairfax High School. All the proceeds for concessions benefit the Senior Class ANG celebration to be held the night of graduation. This is our first fundraiser and a GREAT way to defray the cost of the event and keep ANG ticket prices low. The Craft Show is also a great place to shop for unique gifts before or after your shift ;)
BUT we need assistance - we need lots of parents and students to pull this off! (Junior parents are highly encouraged to assist since you will be running the event next year!)
All students can get volunteer hours for their support, plus it's a lot of fun for our Seniors! Volunteers also receive FREE entry to the craft fair to shop before or after their shift, a $10 savings!!
There are 3 ways to help:
- Sign up for a volunteer slot here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C0F4EA9A62FA7F58-52105699-concessions
- Sign up to drop off donated food/products here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C0F4EA9A62FA7F58-52105646-concessions
- If you can't do either of those, you can make a monetary donation to ANG here: https://fairfaxhs.givebacks.com/store/items/1101260
Thank you for supporting the Class of 2025 and keeping our kids safe as they celebrate on graduation night!
