A Message From Principal Todd McClaskey

Greetings Wildcat Friends and Family

Itrsquos been a smooth start to a great year at Fruita Monument Hard to believe we are already nearly five weeks in It was really nice to see so many of you at our Academic Awards Night It was such a pleasure to recognize all 415 students that earned a 35 GPA or better last year The high level of academic success at FMHS comes from a long tradition of academic excellence built over many years by our staff parents and student body

Advance Placement a Tremendous Success I would also like to celebrate the tremendous success of our students and staff that participated in advance placement courses last year 898 AP Exams were administered 69 of our students received a qualifying score of 3+ which exceeds both the state (62) and global average (60 ) and is an all-time high for FMHS

FMHS AP Scholars 2015-16AP Scholars Averaged 3+ on 3 or more exams 32AP Scholars with Honor Averaged 325+ on 4 or more exams 26AP Scholars with Distinction Averaged 35 on 5 or more exams 35National AP Scholars Averaged 4+ on 8 or more exams 9

Student Access Time Our schedule affords students the opportunity to have access to their teachers complete home-work meet in clubs participate in enrichment activities and hold study sessions every Wednesday and Thursday from 1020am-1105am In observing classrooms and talking with students and teachers most are doing and excellence job of taking advantage of this time Please encourage your students to make the most of this period Students that make poor choices or have failing grades and are not reporting to their teachers for assistance will be assigned a room that they must report to for additional guidance

Cody Baker describes the trip in the following way ldquoWhen thinking back to the beautiful ocean view the fresh and vi-brant food scene and the relaxing breeze that descended on us every evening in sunny San Diego our minds always refer to the ecstatic rush that we felt as our plane touched down in Californiardquo

FCCLA has provided Fruita Monument students with many new and fantastic opportunities For instance winning the state Culinary Arts STAR (Students Taking Action with Recognition) event competition creating new bonds and a lasting friendships and most importantly as Kaleigh Moschetti would say ldquoScholarshipsrdquo

Bryce Hahn added that it was the best experience of his life because of the many new friends he met and the amazing experiences he had in San Diego

FCCLA opened new doors for our group and inspired a passion that we value and want to delve deeper in Nationals was truly a blessing and we were flattered with the opportunity to participate
