Seniors and your laptops!
ALL senior laptops must be re-imaged. If you have not returned your laptop to the IT department, you will not receive your diploma! You must have this final re-image done, even if you had the laptop re-imaged recently or even if you are keeping it!
We are thrilled to offer those seniors that have been here at Faith for the full 4 years, the ability to keep your laptop at no charge! We will need to wipe and reimage your laptop (all your information will be gone). We HIGHLY recommend making a backup (using Time Machine) or just copy the files important to you to an external source. If you need help on how to back up your laptop, please come to the library and visit the tech support room. If you bring your external drive with you, we will be glad to teach you how to get your data saved from the laptop, but we will NOT backup your data.
If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, do NOT use it to restore your computer; you may lock yourself out of the computer if you do so!
Also, if you do not want your laptop, consider leaving it with us. We take your old laptop, refurbish it, and donate it to less fortunate schools, churches, shut-ins, elderly, and other organizations. It is a way to bless others. Just let us know at check-in what you would like to do. Last year we had students donate their laptops to help the underprivileged, churches, schools, and charities! How cool is that?
As a senior, can I get my laptop if I have not been here the full 4 years?
Possibly, you might be able to. Yes, if you have been here 3 yrs or more. The cost is $250 if you want to purchase the laptop (there can be additional charges for different models and age). Your laptop will still need to be turned in and re-imaged. If you have been here less than 3 years, purchasing the laptop is not an option. To see if you qualify to purchase your laptop and how to do so, please stop by the IT department and we will assist you.
If you return the laptop damaged or missing charger and you are not keeping the laptop, you will be charged for those repairs.
This offer to purchase your laptop will not be offered to any other grade. This is a way we can bless the seniors.
Q: When you re-image my laptop, will all my photos and files be lost?
A: Yes, if you did not back it up. Unfortunately, we cannot back up the files for you.
Q: When can I get it re-imaged?
A: As soon as you do not need the laptop for classes, please bring it in to re-image.
Once re-imaged, it cannot be on our school network anymore.
AGAIN! ALL senior laptops must be checked in and re-imaged.
If you do not have your laptop checked and re-imaged, by our IT department, you will not receive your diploma and transcripts will be on hold and there may be a fee charged to you for the cost of the laptop plus any additional fees as necessary.
All devices that qualify to be returned to you, must be picked up by June 27th or will be considered abandoned and forfeited, the laptop will be donated.
Seniors, your email addresses will remain active for 5 months (October 31, 2024) after graduating. Make sure to copy all files and important information to a personal email before that time.
MostPrep's Summer/Fall 2025 SAT Classes
FLHS is pleased to announce that MostPrep will be running courses at FLHS in preparation for the summer/fall SAT dates. You may use this LINK to sign up for a class. There is a limit of 25 students per session, so registrations will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact MostPrep by e-mail (mostprep@gmail.com) or phone (702-896-1307 -- this is a landline, so please don't send a text!) if you have any questions. Here is a list of course offerings; no student may register for more than 1 course, and these courses are only open to current sophomores and juniors. FLHS will bill students' accounts for these courses after they begin. Dates are subject to change if any of the dates of test administration change; parents and students are strongly encouraged to watch College Board's website and secure a seat for an SAT as soon as registration opens for those tests.
July 16 - August 22: This 6-week course ($750) aims to fully cover the most important content for the entire SAT, all of which carries over to the ACT. Two proctored practice tests are included. This course will meet on Wednesday nights (7-9:30pm) and Friday afternoons (4-5:30pm). Practice tests will run from 8am - 10:30am on the final two Saturdays before the August 23 SAT. Registration priority will be given to rising seniors.
July 27 - October 16: This 8-week course ($800) aims to fully cover the most important content for the entire ACT, including the harder math on the ACT and the ACT Science section. Two proctored practice tests are included. This course will meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7-9pm; the only exception will be that it will meet on Wednesday (August 27) instead of Tuesday that week to avoid conflicting with a back-to-school night event at FLHS. Additionally, this course will only meet once (on Thursdays) in the first two weeks of October. Practice tests will be proctored from 8-11:30am on two of the final three Saturdays before the October 18 ACT. Registration priority will be given to rising seniors.
September 10 - October 7: This 5-week course ($500) is designed for accelerated juniors who may not need as much review of content and would benefit from additional practice leading up to the PSAT in October, which is the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Competition. Two proctored practice tests are included. We will meet from 6:30-9:30pm on the first three Wednesday evenings, and then 6:30-9:30pm on the final two Tuesdays, the second of which is the night before the PSAT. Practice tests for both sessions will run from 8am-10:30am on the final two Saturdays of the course. Registration is limited to the first 25 rising juniors who have already completed Algebra 2 AND scored 1200 or better on their PSAT in 10th grade.
October 1 - November 7: This 6-week course ($750) aims to fully cover the most important content for the entire SAT and ends immediately prior to the November SAT. Two proctored practice tests are included. This course will meet on Wednesday nights (7-9:30pm) and Friday afternoons (4-5:30pm) with one exception: the fifth week of the course will meet on Thursday afternoon (10/30) instead of Nevada Day. Practice tests will run from 8am - 10:30am on the final two Saturdays before the November 8 SAT. Registration priority will be given to rising seniors, though accelerated juniors might want to consider enrolling in this course and taking the November SAT with the aim of being done with the SAT this fall.

All 8th Graders and your iPad
We are thrilled to offer the 8th Graders that have been here at Faith for the full 3 years the privilege of purchasing your iPad for a nominal cost of $150. Even if you purchase the iPad, we will still need to erase and restore your iPad (all your information will be gone) to original settings. We HIGHLY recommend making a backup (using iCloud or just email the files important to you) of your important files. If you need help on how to back up your iPad, please come to the library and visit the tech support room. We will NOT backup your data for you when it is returned to us. All 8th graders must come by the tech support office to return their iPad before the end of the school year.
If you choose not to purchase the iPad and the iPad is returned damaged, you will be billed for the damage and/or missing charger. (Hint: if you broke your screen or damaged the iPad, it may be less expensive to purchase the device)
Q: When should I get my iPad erased and restored to factory settings?
A: As soon as you do not need it. Talk to your teachers to see if it will be required. All 8th graders must return their iPad to be erased by the end of the school year.
Q: As an 8th grader, can I get my iPad if I have not been here the full 3 years?
A: Possibly. There may be additional charges beyond the $150 depending on the age or model of your iPad and will be considered as a case by case situation. If you want to keep your iPad, your iPad will need to be erased and restored to original settings. This offer to purchase your iPad will not be offered to any other grade. This is a way we can bless our 8th graders.
Q: When you re-image my iPad, will all my photos and files be lost?
A: Yes, if you did not back it up. Unfortunately, we cannot back up the files for you.
When can I get it erased and restored to original settings? As soon as you do not need the iPad for classes, please bring it in to be erased and restored to original settings.

DEVOTIONS
Today’s Reading: Luke 11:1-13
Daily Lectionary: Leviticus 18:1-7, 20-19:8; Luke 11:1-13
“What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:11-13)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Jesus speaks to His lamb: My dear lamb, I will teach you to pray like I taught my disciples to pray. Read closely what I told them here in Luke 11. What I taught them is for you, too. Pray to the Father in My name; He will hear you and give you good.
When you pray to your Father in heaven, think about a father here on earth. Fathers on earth are not perfect. They struggle with sin like every human being.
But we know that fathers want to give good things to their children. If a son asks his father for a healthy meal like a fish or an egg, what father would be so evil that he would give his child a painful, venomous serpent or scorpion instead?!
If an imperfect father on earth knows how to give good gifts to his children, how much more will your perfect Father provide you with something good when you pray?
Your heavenly Father loves you. He gives you good gifts every day. He gave you the best Gift of all, Me— your Savior, your Good Shepherd. So when you pray, you can be confident that He will give you the Holy Spirit, who will create and strengthen your faith through My Word every day until you are safe in heaven. (And remember to tell Him, “Thank You.”)
Jesus’ lamb responds: Dear Jesus, thank you for teaching me to pray and showing me how much the Father loves me. Thank you, Father, for hearing my prayer and answering with the best of Your Gifts. You give me Your Son. You pour out Your Spirit. And you save me and keep me as your own.
Please give me faith to believe that You are good and that You answer my prayers, just as Jesus taught. Forgive me for the times I do not pray—for when I forget, am lazy, or don’t believe you can or will help.
You are good. Thank You for the good you always give me in Christ.
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
Neither life nor death shall ever from the Lord His children sever; Unto them His grace He showeth, and their sorrows all He knoweth. (LSB 725:3)
