Attention Polar Bear Nation: Earlier this morning we were informed that law enforcement and the Fusion Center are investigating a report that appears to be related to social media and one of our high schools. A student’s account may have been hacked through Snapchat. In collaboration with law enforcement we have been informed there is no credible threat related to this incident. We are thankful for our collaboration with the Sheriff’s Department, State Police and all law enforcement that support our schools and student and staff’s safety.
Attention Polar Bear Nation: Good morning parents! Please be sure to check in on your polar bears and look at their LiveGrades frequently. This program gives you access to all of their class grades, and even down to their specific assignments! If you are not checking frequently, you may be missing out on something you can help your student with academically. With the end of the semester approaching quickly, please make sure your students are not failing any classes and will take their final exams with a passing grade.
If you don't have "parent" access to your students' LiveGrades, please contact the main office for an instruction sheet. Thank you and Go Bears!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: This post is a little different than normal. We are in need of companies to bid on the repair of the front stone gates down on Oakwood Road. We were the victim of a hit and run early this month and insurance needs to have someone to fix it. Please email james dot green at k12.wv.us by Wednesday, November 27 with a quote to fix the gate. Obviously it needs to be an exact match to the undamaged gate. We have the stonework that was knocked off to be used. Thank you and Go Bears!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: In case you missed it Friday night at the East-West Game, Fairmont Senior was able to recognize those members of the senior class that scored above 1100, 1200 & 1300 on the SAT School Day from April 2024! Congrats to those 36 students who achieved so well on the SAT! Let's Go Bears!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: You may see a large police presence today at the FSHS campus as our partners in the Marion County Sheriffs Dept will be conducting some SRT/SWAT training in our buildings. This training only serves to better protect our students and staff. Please avoid the campus if you happen to see many police vehicles present. Thank you and Go Bears!

Attention Polar Bear Nation: As we approach the big game Friday vs Bridgeport, we are fully aware that this is the biggest game of the season in AAA. We just want to remind our loyal fans that while we cheer for our Polar Bears, abusive language or behavior directed towards players, teams, officials, opposing fans or anyone at East West Stadium will not be tolerated. We are very proud of our team and our school, let's not ruin an amazing night with problems we create ourselves. Thank you and GO BEARS!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: If you are planning on wearing a Halloween costume to school on Thursday, please be aware of the parameters of wearing a costume at FSHS. Your costume must still meet ALL dress code requirements, as well as NO MASKS and NO WEAPONS (fake or real). Thank you and Go Bears!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: Yes, you read that right, we are having a shuttle bus Friday from the Fieldhouse to East West Stadium starting at 5:00 and going until it is not needed anymore.

There is no cost, so please feel free to park at the Fieldhouse and ride the shuttle to East West Stadium!

Attention Polar Bear Nation: Tomorrow—Friday October 18th is make-up/retake picture day. Students should follow the schedule posted on their paws Google Classroom and come to the auditorium at their assigned time. If your assigned time is during your lunch or while you’re taking a quiz, come between classes.
FSHS students had the opportunity today to attend the Fairmont State Exercise Science career fair on their campus. Thank you to Mrs. Bright and Ms. Stiles for taking these interested students.
Attention Polar Bear Nation: With the big homecoming game this Friday, please be reminded of the MCS policy of students/children under high school age requiring an adult for entry. Due to unruliness, children need to be with an adult that will be responsible for them, and not a random person walking into the stadium. Additionally, we will not accept 1 coach bringing in large teams and then letting them loose around the stadium. We are also enforcing the no backpack policy for everyone's safety. DO NOT DROP YOUR ELEMENTARY OR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENT OFF WITHOUT SUPERVISION. Thank you and Go Bears!
Attention Polar Bear Nation: School pictures are ready! To order, log in to your account on mylifetouch.com or create an account using your student's student ID number.
