1st Day Back!

Our first 3 days of school were filled with making connections, building relationships, and learning how to be a Sierra Warrior. We made sure every student understands the expectations and focus on Growth Mindsets here. Our students are gearing up for a great year. There are just 33 days this quarter so we are challenging our students to stay focused and give it their all. Here they are building their collaborative teams and learning to communicate in Science with Mr. Karayan.

Welcome Warriors!

We are giddy with anticipation to see our students tomorrow morning before 8:25 am! We have a great year planned for our students and have missed them this summer. Students are going to be challenged this year to high expectations. They are going to be guided in planning for their future, and they are going to be given the care they need to grow into young adults that Fillmore and Piru will be proud of.

Our gates open at 7:30. Our office opens at 8am. Breakfast will be served starting at 8am. Students schedules and assistance with registration will begin at 8am.

If you have not completed your child's online registration please accompany them to school tomorrow morning. Registration ensures we have all of your emergency information up to date. Without it, we are not able to notify you in an emergency.

Superintendent Schieferle's Welcome Back Message 2022-23 School Year [English/Spanish]

August 2, 2022

Dear FUSD Community,

I am excited to welcome you back to the 2022-2023 school year. I hope your family had the opportunity this summer to spend quality time with loved ones and that you and your children are ready for the upcoming school year. It is going to be a great year!

The beginning of each school year is always time for reflection, preparation, and new beginnings. We will continue to focus on strengthening communication, building relationships, and working together to ensure that we have safe, welcoming, and student-focused schools.

Staff have been working all summer long to prepare for the upcoming school year and will continue to expand academic, enrichment, and social-emotional opportunities for our students, such as:

• School counselors at every school site

• Wellness Centers at Fillmore High School and Fillmore Middle School, each staffed with a full-time licensed social worker and a shared counselor

• Community Learning Hubs in Fillmore, Rancho Sespe, and Piru, staffed with a teacher, instructional assistant, and counselor

• Full-time bilingual community liaisons at all school sites

• Free online academic tutoring 24 hours a day/7 days a week

• Reading Intervention teachers at all elementary schools and Fillmore Middle School

• Additional assistant principals at Fillmore High School and Fillmore Middle School

• New STEM Electives at Fillmore Middle School

• Fieldtrips to universities and colleges to promote a college-bound culture

• After-school Bridges program until 6:00 p.m., Monday – Friday

We will also continue to prioritize school safety at all school sites. Each year, all staff receives training on safety procedures and response expectations for a variety of emergencies. Each school conducts regular emergency drills and we will continue to have school resource officers at Fillmore High School and Fillmore Middle School to build relationships and respond in the event of a school emergency. COVID safety measures for the upcoming school year can be found on the FUSD website.

Please also consider supporting our School Site Councils, English Learner Advisory Committees, Parent Booster Clubs, and other schools/classroom volunteer opportunities. Connecting with these organizations along with your student’s teachers, principals, counselors, and support personnel is critical to your child’s success in school. I am looking forward to seeing our students back on our campuses on Wednesday, August 17th. I am confident that working together, we can make this school year a safe and positive experience for our students.

Proud to be a part of FUSD.

Chrissy Schieferle, Superintendent

2021-2022 school year has come to a close!

2021-2022 school year has come to a close. It is hard to believe that we started this school year with covered faces and social distancing. One of our traditions here at Sierra re quarterly awards and an end of year BBQ. It is a great way to acknowledge the hard work of our students. Each teacher and the counselor speak about each award winners. We look forward to seeing our returning students in the fall. School resumes August 16th.

Important Message from Superintendent Schieferle

Dear Fillmore High School Families,

The precautionary lockdown at Fillmore High School has been cleared.

This morning, Fillmore High School was placed on a precautionary lockdown due to an anonymous report of a bomb threat at a specific location on campus. Law enforcement was immediately contacted and searched the area. Law enforcement has determined that the threat was not credible and the area was thoroughly searched by deputies. The lockdown has been lifted and there is no threat to students and staff. Additional law enforcement officers will be on campus for the remainder of the day. All parents and staff were notified of the precautionary lockdown through the District’s communication system. Seniors have departed for their Senior trip. All belongings were searched, and a School Resource Officer is accompanying students on this trip.

Again, the precautionary lockdown at Fillmore High School has been cleared.

Sincerely,
Christine Schieferle, Superintendent
Fillmore Unified School District

Queridas Familias de Fillmore High School,

El confinamiento en Fillmore High School ha terminado.  Esta mañana Fillmore High School fue puesta en un confinamiento por una amenaza que recibimos a un área específica de Fillmore High School.  El departamento de policía fue contactado inmediatamente y busco el área.  La policía determino que no hay peligro a los estudiantes o al personal.  Oficiales de policía seguirán en Fillmore High School este día.  Padres y personal fueron notificados usando el sistema de comunicación del distrito.

Los estudiantes del grado 12 se han ido a su viaje a Disneyland.  Sus pertenencias fueron investigadas y un oficial los acompaño al viaje. 

Otra vez, el confinamiento ha terminado en Fillmore High School.  

Sierra High & Heritage Valley graduates enjoyed a senior dinner and Sunset

Sierra and Heritage Valley graduates enjoyed a senior dinner and Sunset earlier this week. The students made beautiful memories together. This group of students has worked hard to finish strong after distance learning. Seeing them still play on the beach reminds us that they are still young and growing. We are very proud of the young adults they have become. Just 3 more days of school until graduation and 4 more days until we say our goodbyes (for now).
