Analy Rojas-Esparza is AR’s Student of the Month for February! Analy is the daughter of Ysmael Rojas Onofre and Maria Esparza Zermento. To date, Analy has earned 17 college credits and is on pace to complete 27 by the time she graduates. Next year, Analy plans to attend Modesto Jr. College or Cal-Trade Welding school. After completing a program in Welding Technology, Analy plans to return to College of the Redwoods to complete her Associates Degree in Construction Management and work in the welding industry. Of her time at AR, Analy says, “I enjoyed my overall experience at Academy of The Redwoods as I have always felt welcomed into the community. I know my teachers have my back in supporting me in school and out of school. I have always been able to talk to them about anything, as well as looking for other options and resources to help me.”
The first art installation in CR's brand new Floyd Bettiga Gallery in the Creative Arts Complex is Nancy Tobin's "CRy Baby: A Psychological Landscape & Self Portrait That Explores Connections Between Space, Past, And The Future Self."

Hello AR Community,
The main entrance to CR is flooded out and is expected to be closed the remainder of the day. The central entrance adjacent to the main entrance remains open, please use that entrance when picking up your student.
Tompkins Hill Road at Beatrice is flooded, however the highway remains open and we have not received any indication of forecasted highway closures at this time. The FUHSD bus and all HTA buses can still access CR safely and on schedule.

Good morning AR community!
The campus has power and highway access is clear. School will be in session, see you all soon!

Dear AR Community,
Widespread power outages due to severe weather are possible tonight and tomorrow morning.
If the AR/CR campus is experiencing a prolonged power outage at 6:30 AM on Wednesday, then school will be closed that day. If CR has power at 6:30 AM, school will be in session. This cutoff time has been determined with some of our student's long commutes in mind.
If power goes out during school hours, we will remain in session through the end of the normal scheduled day, we will not initiate an early release unless there are significant safety risks involved.
-Principal King
Dear AR Community,
The National Weather Service station on Woodley Island is forecasting severe wind and rain tonight and tomorrow. Our district transportation department is planning bus routes around potential flooding on Tompkins Hill Road at Beatrice. School will be open but we understand some routes may be compromised. Please travel to and from school safely, follow weather alerts at www.weather.gov/eka/ and contact us if you have any concerns.

Today is Martin Luther King Day and there is no school in observance of his work and the work of others to advance the cause of civil rights in the United States.
In the words of fellow civil rights champion Congressman John Lewis, this is a "day on, not a day off."
Do some good today. For yourself, for your family, and for your community.

Dear AR Parents & Guardians, We utilize data from the California Healthy Kids Surveys for students, parents, and staff to better understand the needs of our community in order to more effectively support and serve our students. Results from these surveys will be shared with the Fortuna Union High School District board of trustees and will help inform updates to the district LCAP. Even more importantly, the AR staff looks at this data in order to best prioritize planning and focuses for the upcoming school year. The link below is only for AR Parents/Guardians. Do not follow this link if you are a student. Students will receive their special link in class. (If you are on Instagram you can find this link on our website under "News.") Thank you for your input and Happy New Year!
