FHS Offering the ASVAB Test
This test is free and open to all juniors and seniors. Students should take this test if they are considering the military after graduation. The ASVAB is also an excellent Career Exploration and can be a good practice test for future tests. Please contact Diane Gilroy in Student Services for more information.
FHS Picture Days Scheduled
FHS will have School and Sport Pics in the building for two days to update our student yearbook photos and issue new IDs. Photos will be taken during the school day on Thursday, October 29th and on Tuesday, November 3rd.
Ordering information will be emailed by School and Sport Pics. We are working with the company to organize how we will take photos while maintaining safety and the least academic interruption. Students should be prepared to be called for a photo on either day.
Families of virtual students will also have the opportunity to have a school photo. Families of students in the virtual program will receive a link to Sign Up Genius and will pick an appointment time. The virtual opportunity will be on Thursday, October 29th from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. This time slot is only for students who are in the virtual program.

FHS Attendance - Late Arrivals/Early Dismissals
Late Arrivals - Students who arrive to a class within the first ten minutes of a block are marked tardy. Students who arrive after the first ten minutes are marked absent.
Early Dismissals - Students who are dismissed during the last ten minutes of class are marked “Leave Early” (LE) which does not count against their attendance. Students who are dismissed more than ten minutes prior to the end of a class are marked absent for that class.
Medical Appointments - If your student is absent from school due to a medical appointment, please submit a medical excuse to the attendance secretary from your provider so the absence can be marked medically excused (APTX). Medically excused absences do not count against students’ attendance. If not medically excused by the provider note the absence will be marked parent excused (PAX) and will count toward the 10 days allowed for parent excused absences.
A reminder that all absences, late arrivals & early dismissals should be reported using our new procedure with this form.
