August Updates
I hope that everyone had an enjoyable summer and were able to enjoy some time with family. As we begin this school year we are thrown into the busy Fall season. Our sports teams begin competition next week, the band has been practicing for weeks, and audition sign ups are already out for the first play. Our teachers have worked very hard to prepare themselves for the year and we are really looking forward to this school year. We do have 6 new faces in the building and believe they will be great additions to our staff.
The first week has gone very well. It appears that the Freshman are becoming more familiar with the High School and beginning to get in their routines. We have a great group of upperclassmen that have been assisting them when needed as well. As reminders our school hours are from 7:45-3:00. We are the first drop off in the morning for busses so we do not allow cars in the circle drive before school. This helps the busses get in and on to the next buildings on time. In the afternoon the busses pick up behind the building so feel free to use the circle drive after school. If your student is going to be absent please contact the office (attendance number 590-8199). We send out a phone call each day around 10am for those that have not called in yet. If your student is absent we also need a Dr. note when they return. This assists us when we look at some of the attendance policies in the handbook.
At FHS we communicate primarily through the school messenger (text, phone call,email) system or the SIS information system. This makes it extremely important for you to keep your phone numbers and emails up to date in our system. Most of our clubs and organizations have facebook and twitter pages for daily pics or activities. If you have a question or concern please contact us so we can work to resolve it. I do ask that if you or your child is having an issue in a class that the student attempt to solve it with the teacher first. If that doesn’t work I ask that you attempt to resolve the issue with the teacher and if that doesn’t work please contact one of the offices so we can assist. We find that most situations can be resolved with a simple phone call or meeting.
As I said we are very excited about the upcoming school year. If you need anything please contact us.
Have a great weekend!
Chris
