Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Cyberbullying Parent Parent Presentation by Sgt. Rich scheduled for tomorrow night on Tuesday, February 6th at 7:00 p.m.
The safety and well-being of our students is a top priority, and we believe that Sgt. Rich's insights are invaluable in educating our community about the challenges associated with cyberbullying and social media. We understand the importance of this topic and will communicate the rescheduled date and time via weekly Principal messages and Peach Jar as soon as it is confirmed.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding on this matter.

Dear Parent/Guardian of an 8th grade student,
The Fair Lawn High School Music Department cordially invites all 8th-grade students to our Fair Lawn High School Music Program Promo Concert Tour and Q&A Session. If your child is committed to continuing their music education and is interested in learning more about our FLHS curricular music courses, please click on the link on the TJ website to read about our Concert Tour and Q&A Session. The form serves both as a registration form and a permission slip form.
This event will take place during the school day on Tuesday, January 30. We encourage all musicians (vocalists and instrumentalists), students who are eager to learn how to play an instrument, and musical theater performers to attend. This is a great opportunity for our 8th grade students to visit our FLHS Music facilities, watch upperclassmen perform, and have questions answered by our directors/musicians.
Please reach out with any questions and we look forward to having your child attend this concert.
