4. How will I choose the activity?
Students who are eligible to attend FAB Day will sign up for the activity of their choice.
Since there is limited space at each activity, you may not get your first pick. Make sure to have a 2nd and 3rd choice in mind.
To be as fair as possible, students will choose a random number to determine the order they get to choose their activity.
Once you sign-up for your activity, you cannot change! Do not ask your teacher if you can switch.

5. What if I am not eligible to attend FAB Day?
Teachers will let you know in advance if you have met the requirements to attend FAB Day
Students will stay on team and have the opportunity to get makeup work to improve their grades
All makeup work must be turned in on time to the appropriate teacher in order to get credit. The due date should be posted on the makeup work for each teacher.
Use this time to improve! We will have a FAB Day every six weeks this year so you can work toward attending the next FAB Day!
