Dear Friends of the PFC:
Please check the Calabasas High webpage, www.calabasashigh.net, for all school information; including finals schedule, bell schedule, days off and email contacts for teachers and other staff. CHS also has a Facebook page.
Lately there have been a lot of students parking in the main parking lot. This causes parking problems for parents who come to school to volunteer or have school business, as well as visitors to our campus. Please remind your student NOT to use the main lot. Staff spaces are for staff, visitor's spots are for parents and visitors, and PFC spots are for PFC volunteers. Students who have parking passes must park in the student lot, which is reserved for Seniors and (some) Juniors ONLY. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Thanks to all who have donated to our ongoing Donor Drive so far. We will be thanking you by listing your last name in the next eNewsletter, on our FB page and most importantly by using the funds to enrich the lives of your students and make the CHS environment one to be proud of.

FAFSA and CAL GRANT: The FAFSA form (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is up and live on FAFSA.gov. DO NOT GO TO FAFSA.com or FAFSA.org! This document can be submitted for FREE -- if you go to a website that is charging you to submit the FAFSA you are on the wrong website! The Cal Grant GPA Verification Form is available in the College and Career Center. The Cal Grant form is an application for money for any higher education in the State of California for a California resident. This includes private and public 4-year colleges, all community colleges and vocational school. The FAFSA must be submitted before the Cal Grant.

Dear Calabasas High School students and parents,
On Tuesday, January 20th, at lunch there will be therapy dogs around campus. The therapy dogs will be there in order to help students relax before finals begin on Wednesday. If any student is feeling stressed out, or would just like to play with the cute dogs, do not hesitate to find a therapy dog on campus!
As a reminder, students can always find Peer Support Counselors at FRIENDS in room H117, which is open every day at lunch. FRIENDS is a place, where students can relax, hang out with other students, meet new friends, and ask any questions students may have, so feel free to stop by.
Thank you!
Sincerely,
The Calabasas High School Peer Support Team

HEALTH OFFICE INFORMATION

Notes From the Health Clerk:
It is recommended that students follow the below recommended practices by the California Department of Public Health for preventing the transmission of Enterovirus and other illnesses:
- Students with flu-like symptoms should stay at home. Flu-like symptoms may include:
- Fever (100 degrees F. or higher) or feverishness
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Body aches
- A feeling of being very tired
- Vomiting or diarrhea
Generally, health officials recommend that individuals who have flu-like symptoms should remain at home and avoid contact with others. They should do so until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.

"CERT" TRAINING
FEMA: FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
Preparedness Myths Debunked
Disasters can happen at any time and with little to no warning; that's why being prepared is so important! Some people may rely on old preparedness myths in response to certain disasters, which can prove dangerous. When it comes to disaster preparedness, can you separate fact from fiction?
- Standing inside a doorway is the best way to stay safe during an earthquake? WRONG! According to FEMA, the current protective action to take during an earthquake is to drop, cover, and hold on. Download the America's PrepareAthon! How to Prepare for an Earthquake Guide to learn earthquake basics and how to protect yourself during tremors. You can also check out the animated video, When The Earth Shakes, to see how to stay safe.
- First responders will be able to help everyone during disasters. WRONG! Emergency responders do a great job keeping people safe, but they can't do it alone. It may also be several days before they can reach your area.
- Remember, being prepared for disasters is a shared responsibility. It takes the whole community working together to effectively prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and other emergencies.
The County of Los Angeles Fire Department Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training was developed through FEMA to provide basic fire safety and life saving skills. Please join us in Agoura Hills, March 3rd, click here for flyer, or in Calabasas, March 19th, click here for flyer.
