Dear Families,

It has been such a joy to welcome our students back for the 2025–2026 school year. Walking through classrooms this past week, I was inspired by the energy, curiosity, and readiness to learn that our students brought with them. There is something powerful about the start of a new school year, it is a chance for fresh beginnings, new goals, and renewed connections.

As we move forward, I’m confident this year will be filled with meaningful learning, growth, and memorable experiences for all of our students. Our dedicated staff is committed to supporting every student and ensuring they feel both challenged and encouraged.

We also have several exciting events coming up that will strengthen our school community:

• ATP Back-to-School Dance – Thursday, August 28

• FHS Back-to-School Night – Thursday, September 4

• C-VLOA Back-to-School Night – Tuesday, September 9

I encourage all families to join us Back to School night as it provides a wonderful opportunity to connect with staff, meet other families, and celebrate the start of a promising year together.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Let’s make 2025–2026 a year of growth, achievement, and community.

With gratitude,

Rebecca Handzel

Principal

We are proud to introduce this year’s Student Board Members for the Covina-Valley Unified School District. In addition to the five elected representatives, our Board also includes four elected student leaders who represent each of our high school communities. These dedicated students provide a strong voice for their peers and ensure that student perspectives are at the center of district decisions.

A special recognition goes to our elected Student Board Member, Melody, who has already been doing a fantastic job representing students with professionalism, passion, and leadership. We look forward to all that this year’s team will accomplish together!

Fairvalley High School is proud to announce that sports are back! This fall we’re kicking off the season with Flag Football, followed by Softball as part of the San Gabriel Sports League.
