It is an exciting time for our 8th graders; we are in the process of planning students’ transitions to Fair Haven Union High School. Late this week and next, FHU High School Counselors will be meeting with each eighth grade student to make them more knowledgeable about the high school course offerings, graduation requirements, education plans, and other opportunities that high school brings. The Fair Haven Union High School Counselors have a schedule for individual meetings with students and families. Please call 802-265-3636 to reach the FHU Counseling Office to see when your child’s FHUHS counselor is available for these appointments. Parents/Guardians are welcome to attend, however it is not required. As a reminder, these are course requests and not final schedules. Your child will receive their schedule in August prior to the first day of school.
