FHS Safety Drills
During the 2020-21 school year, FPS will be conducting all of our state mandated safety drills. However, a change for this year is that parents will be notified in advance of when the drills will take place. Parents will have the opportunity to keep their children at home on the morning/afternoon/days the drills would be conducted if you do not want your child in close proximity to other children during the drill.
For your reference, per the state of Wisconsin, this is a list of our planned drills for the school year.
At FHS, we will conduct the following drills in the month of September:
- Fire Drill - Thursday, September 17th (AM)
- Lockdown Drill - Tuesday, September 22nd (PM)
