Leaving School Without Permission
Contact: J. Tucci (833-3300 ext. 3326)
Leaving campus without a checkout (dismissal) slip
Parents, please be advised that students who leave school grounds without a
checkout (dismissal) slip will receive administrative disciplinary action. We
have had an increase in the number of students leaving school grounds because
“they thought their parent had called to check them out.” Students that leave
campus without following proper checkout procedure are considered to be
skipping.
If a student has been checked out, following proper check out procedures, the
student will receive a checkout (dismissal) slip and is then permitted to leave
school grounds.
Nurse Linda Request
Contact: Nurse Linda (833-3300 ext. 3324)
MEDICATION PICK-UP PROCEDURE
No medication can be sent home with a student. Please plan to pick-up any
medicine from my office the last week of school. For seniors please pick up
medications by Friday, May 27th. Please remember that underclassmen get out
of school at 11:30 am on the following days: May 31st, June 1st, and 2nd.
If medications have not been picked-up by Thursday morning, June 2nd, I will be
disposing of them properly. I appreciate every one following our guidelines.
Please have a wonderful summer.
Yearbook
Contact: S. Teare (833-3300 ext. 2151 or
teares@mail.okaloosa.k12.fl.us)
It’s still not too late to order your 2016 Valhalla yearbook and save. The predelivery price is $90.00. Once they arrive, the price is $100.00. Yearbooks are
expected to be delivered on June 3rd. Since this is after school is out, we have
ordered autograph pages that can be inserted in the book once it arrives.
Students will still be able to get those all-important signatures and messages
from friends and teachers. A robo-call will go out once the books are here and
ready for distribution. The yearbook staff shares your disappointment and
apologizes for the delay.
Class of 2017
It’s your turn! Summer senior portrait sessions are June 14th, 15th, and 16th in the
media center. A second session is July 19th, 20th, and 21st. Current juniors may
sign up for an appointment in Room 447 (between Mrs. Morgan and Mr.
Markoch) or in the media center during 5th period, before the last day of school.
Other appointments will be assigned alphabetically; however, if the time is not
convenient, the student may change it. You should receive an appointment card
in the mail.
Once school begins, a make-up day is scheduled for September 21st. Please
make every effort to have your portraits taken during the summer. You will
receive the proofs quickly and you will have a more relaxed atmosphere to make
sure you look your best. Jim Owen is our official school photographer and only
the formal senior portraits provided by Jim Owen will be used in the senior
section of the 2017 yearbook.
School Day Photographs
School day photographs for Classes 2018, 2019 and 2020 will be September 20th
with make-ups on October 27th. These dates are for underclassmen only.
FWBHS Balloon Campaign
Contact: A. Daniels (833-3300 ext. 1230 or
ashley.daniels@mail.okaloosa.k12.fl.us)
Did you know that by 2050 the ocean is expected to be equal parts plastic to
fish? Ms. Daniels’ Marine Science Honors classes have taken initiative to lead a
campaign to prevent the release of balloons at graduation this year and improve
our recycling program. The goal of the balloon campaign is to raise awareness
of marine debris and plastics in our ocean, especially the harmful impact that
balloon pollution has on marine wildlife. We have secured an alternative to
balloon release through Emerald Coast Smile Clouds with a significant discount,
and we will be raising funds to pay for the flogo rental and to improve our school
recycling program.
How can you participate?
 There are donation bins found throughout the school campus. Funds will go
towards the flogo machines for graduation and remaining funds will be
allocated to improvements in our school recycling program.
 Visit our social media sites and help spread the word on the harm of plastics
in the ocean.

**Students should not wear their gown into the gym. Instead they should bring their gown into the gym on a
hanger. **Students will not be admitted to the gym if they are wearing the gown.
More Graduation Information:
What to wear under the graduation gown?
Gentlemen – wear dark, dress trousers (no jeans), dark shoes with socks,
white or light collared shirt, and a tie. Absolutely no shorts, flip flops, or tennis
shoes.
Ladies – wear a dress that does not hang below the hem of the gown.
White or light colored shoes look best with the white gowns. Darker shoes look
better with the red gowns. Girls MAY NOT wear flip flops or high, spiked heels.
Flat shoes or wedges work best for walking on the turf.
No jewelry, flowers, or anything not provided by the school should be
attached or worn over or on the gown.
We want the ceremony to be a dignified event. Students will not be allowed to
bring silly string or foam or anything to be sprayed or squirted on each other.
Beach balls will not be permitted. It is rude for the students to toss these while
their peers are speaking. Please make sure that your child understands the
proper decorum for this ceremony. Administrators and faculty will be checking
for these items and students will be removed from the line if we find them with
aerosol cans or materials of any kind that will disrupt or create an undesirable
atmosphere.
Thank you for helping us to make graduation a great event for our graduates and
their families.
