FHS Picture Days Scheduled
FHS Protocol for Providing Student Masks
Daily mask wearing has, and will continue to be, an expectation for all students and staff who enter FHS. Similar to other daily supplies, we understand that students may have times when they forget their masks and need one to get through their day. As a result, we have a supply of disposable masks that we can provide to students who are in need.
While we are able to provide masks on occasion for students, we ask that students and families work to ensure that students have access to backups in their personal belongings. Our supplies are quickly diminished when students need a mask on a regular basis and we would like to ensure that we have masks available to those who forget on occasion or need a replacement throughout their day.
We have begun to track the masks that we are providing students to ensure that we can keep a supply for emergency purposes. If your student frequently needs us to provide them with a mask to get through their day, we will be in contact to develop a plan to ensure that one comes with them each day. Students who repeatedly need a mask will be charged a small fee (applied to their student account) to ensure that we can replenish our supplies. Please see below for further details.
1st time a mask is provided: Student will be provided with an inexpensive washable or disposable mask at no cost. School personnel will log that they received one and inform student that they get 2 masks at no charge before they will be assessed a fee.
2nd time a mask is provided: Student will be provided with an inexpensive washable or a disposable mask at no cost. Student’s parent/guardian will be informed that the student has forgotten a mask twice and future masks will be charged.
3rd time a mask is provided and beyond: Student will be provided with an inexpensive washable or disposable mask and a $1.00 fee will be applied to their student account.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.

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.

Guardian Google Classroom Email Summary
There is some confusion about the Parent/Guardian Google Classroom email summary. When a teacher adds a Parent/Guardian email addresses to Google Classroom, this does not give the parent access to Google Classroom. The email address being added registers the parent/guardian to receive a weekly email summary that looks like the image below. The parent/guardian will get one summary per child for all Google Classrooms the child is connected to. If you want to see the Google Classroom assignments or postings in real time, please have your child log in so you can view the Classroom with him/her.
You can read more about the Parent/Guardian summary you receive on this Google Classroom support page here.
