TIPS FOR PARENTS
• Encourage your child to GET INVOLVED! As a staff we
encourage students to find an activity (group, sport,
club) and get involved. It is a great way to make
friends, stay connected to the school and improve their
overall high school experience.
TIPS FOR PARENTS
• Lunch hour – FHS has an open campus. While we
encourage students to stay on school grounds during
the lunch hour, some students choose to leave.
• Lunch is from 12:16 – 1:16.
TIPS FOR PARENTS
Attendance – There is a direct link between school attendance and
academic performance. Attendance is monitored by the Homeroom &
classroom teachers. You will receive an automated phone message
indicating student absences when your child is absent. Significant
unexcused absences will be referred to Administration.
TIPS FOR PARENTS
• Homework – High school
students do have homework!!
• Many teachers keep current
wiki-pages or teacher websites
with homework requirements.
• When in doubt, contact the
teacher through email (all
emails are on the FHS website)
TIPS FOR PARENTS
Parent-School Communication – It is important for you to
stay in contact with the school. Don’t wait until there is a
big issue. If you have concerns, contact teachers, admin,
guidance. We all want the best education for your
student.
Keep an eye on the school website, as parents can see
the video announcements each day as well
