As we end week 2, we are learning more about our morning routines. Students CAN go to the cafeteria and get breakfast. They are welcome to eat breakfast in the cafeteria before going to 1st hour. A hot breakfast is served every day, and we also have breakfast items to grab-n-go.

Blair Oaks High School students host an annual remembrance ceremony to recall the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that took the lives of nearly 3,000 people and to make sure those events and lost lives are not forgotten. In addition to placing flags in the ground, a wreath is displayed to recognize the loss of first responders.

Need some help understanding Google classroom? Need some help with PowerSchool? We invite you to an hour of learning!

Teachers believe in the importance of students being able to master standards before moving on to the next concept. With this in mind, teachers offer students to retake tests if they are not satisfied with the grade they have earned. We have a uniformed retake policy for the entire high school. Please see our retake policy below.

Blair Oaks FLCN Media Production Class
Instructor: Mrs. Jayme Eichholz

We are proud of our student run news channel, called FLCN. News is broadcast to our students daily at 9:00 a.m. FLCN also produces a slide show that contains the announcements and activities for a particular day and/or week. This slide show plays in our cafeteria while students are eating and throughout the day. We felt sharing the announcements might be beneficial to parents. Below is a link to the slide show.
