09.15.2023 FAHS Math Schedule/Assignment Update
Dear Family of Fort Atkinson High School Student,
As you may be aware, we have had a recent resignation in the math department at Fort Atkinson High School. That, in combination with already having a math position unfilled, has caused a situation that needed immediate attention.
Despite our best efforts to recruit, interview and offer a position to viable candidates, we were unsuccessful in securing teachers for these positions. The administration and math team developed a schedule that still provides strong instruction for your student in order for them to continue on in their math learning. As such, your student’s schedule may have required a change, which will go into effect next week.
- In most circumstances of schedule changes, students will have the same math class, during the same period with a new math teacher.
- For a small number of students, a change in math period with a new teacher was necessary to maintain all current course selections.
- In other cases, your child has a choice to take the class through our virtual online option, JEDI, as a way to not interfere with the rest of their schedule. The FAHS team met specifically with each of these students to discuss their options.
You can find your student’s revised schedule on PowerSchool beginning Monday, September 18th.
NOTE: This new schedule will take effect on Monday, September 18th
As a leadership team, we prioritized limiting disruption to student schedules as much as possible. We are appreciative of our FAHS Math Team and their flexibility and willingness to prioritize our students during challenging staffing circumstances. The team will ensure the transition is as seamless as possible, including the transfer of student grades and current progress.
If you or your student has questions about the schedule or would like to explore other options within the schedule, you are welcome to contact your student’s school counselor (assignment noted by grade level and last name):

- There are additional entrances all around the building or you can also park in a stall in the lot for students to cross to the building. This can often be faster than the front lanes.

Below is a link to a visual to help make this easier for you.
2023-2024 schedules are now viewable in PowerSchool on your student's account under Student Reports. A copy will also be mailed to the student's primary address by the early next week. Appointments can be made to see the school counselor prior to the start of the school year if one of the following is true:
- Missing a class you registered for
- Failed required class and need to add it to your 2023-24 schedule
- Need to adjust your schedule to accommodate ECCP/Start College Now courses

We are starting earlier this year due to the ongoing construction of secure entrances taking place in all district buildings. Freshmen are to report for their first day on August 28th, with 9-12th graders all reporting the rest of the week.
Finally, keep in mind that we are hosting our annual Back To School Night on Wednesday, August 23rd from 5:00-6:30. This is for ALL grades to come and walk their schedule and meet their teachers. We will have food trucks available for family fun together. We look forward to seeing you there!

06.08.2023 End of Year Info
Hello FAHS Families,
It’s hard to believe we are finishing up our last days of school, but here we are with the final hours winding down!
A few helpful pieces of information as we transition into summer and the 2023-2024 school year:
Construction at FAHS - Construction for the new HS secure entrance will begin Friday, June 9th. Due to this work, the entire main office will need to be shut down until the second week in August. The doors to the left of the main entrance (when looking at the building) will become the new "main entrance" and doors will be open between 8:00-12:00 during summer school. All athletics will be entering from the red wing. Summer School will still run in the IMC and other pods in the building. The main office and staff will be relocated to the HS Pupil Services office. If you need to do school business outside of summer school hours, please schedule a time to take care of that by contacting Miranda Cottrell at 920-563-7811 x1100 | cottrellm@fortschools.org or Jamie Knutson at 920-563-7811 x1101 | knutsonj@fortschools.org
Registration for 2023-2024 School Year - This will take place the week of July 17th - 21st. More information will be shared in the US mail this summer.
2023-2024 Student Schedules - Due to the elimination of the block schedule, our HS schedule team, in conjunction with our scheduling program (PowerSchool) has been working hard to create a whole new master schedule. This has taken much more time than anticipated, so we will be sharing students schedules in August when we send out registration information. Please watch for that to come in the mail.
First Day of School for the 2023-24 School Year - This will be on Monday, August 28th. Please make this note that due to the construction of secure entrances taking place this summer and next summer, the 2023-2024 school year will begin and end early next year. Please review the SDFA calendar for next year which is below.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/159W6k4M0f- 6bvMYKvUyrLxEavzi2mPi8/view
Back to School Night - This will take place at FAHS on Wednesday, August 23rd from 5:00-6:30PM. This is a great time for students to walk their schedule and learn about all the clubs, activities and sports we have for you to be a part of!I hope you all have a wonderful summer! Thank you for your support and sharing your children with us! It has been an honor being part of your child’s educational journey!
See you soon!

Good Afternoon FAHS Families,
Please know the Department of Workforce Development has changed the process for obtaining a work permit.As of June 30th, 2023 the high school will no longer be able to process a work permit for minors. The new online system allows parents to get their child's work permit online by visiting: https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/er/laborstandards/ workpermit/. The new website is available for use immediately. [NOTE: we have been told we can continue to use the old website/system until June 30th, but we are already experiencing some issues with this, so best to use the new format if possible]Thanks for your attention to this! -

05.05.2023 2023-2024 FAHS Schedule
Hello FAHS Students,
This communication is being sent to provide you information on next year’s schedule.
First of all thank you for your feedback on the survey. We understand that this has been a very difficult and unique part of the year in which you are experiencing many different changes. We want you to know that your FAHS staff is here to support you through it. While we may not have all the answers you seek, we will answer what we can as the answer becomes available. We know that change can be hard and we will be here to help you every step of the way.
We wanted to let you know that next year, Fort Atkinson High School will be moving to a new schedule based on a “hybrid” model that offers the benefits of both shorter and longer class periods to maximize learning.
This schedule will provide, but is not limited to, the following benefits for you:
- Increased frequency of student-teacher contact time within the week
- Increased academic supports during the day
- Maintaining current course selections and offerings
Within this model, you will attend all scheduled classes on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. On Wednesday and Thursday, classes will run block periods. You will attend half of their schedule on Wednesday and half of your schedule on Thursday, providing a longer learning time for each of your classes once a week.
This new model should not have any impact on the 2023-2024 Course Selection event we held earlier in February. As is true with any given school year, some classes may not run due to low enrollment. If that is the case, you will be contacted directly by their school counselor to pick a new option so your schedule is set for the year. Please know, we will not be anticipating many schedule changes once we begin the 2023-2024 school year unless there are extenuating circumstances that would require us to do so. It is best to solidify your schedule now so we are set to go for the fall. Should you have any questions about this, please connect with your school counselor:

05.05.2023 Progress Reports Ready
Hello FAHS Families,
In this vast digital world, we have decided to move away from paper copies of progress reports (mid-quarter grades) and ask all families to access these reports virtually through PowerSchool, right at your fingertips! Teachers have updated all grades to reflect the status of each student's grade at this point in the quarter for you to see the progress your student is making.
Please log into PowerSchool from a web browser (not the PowerSchool phone app) and view "Student Reports" to see the report, no later than Friday, May 12th. After you have viewed the report, please click on the "Click here….." which takes you to a Google form link to show us that this was viewed by a parent or guardian. Report cards for the quarter will be mailed home in a hard copy at the end of the school year.
As usual, if you would like to discuss your student’s progress in any class, please reach out to that teacher directly. All teacher contact information can be found here.
Thank you,
Leigh Ann Scheuerell, FAHS Principal

04.06.2023 Important Events Next Week!
Dear FAHS Families,
Next week is a busy one for FAHS, so wanted to make sure you had all the necessary information:
Tuesday, April 11th for Freshmen and Sophomores
Freshmen and Sophomore students will be taking their PreACT Secure assessment this day. An email was previously sent with a lot of information, but as a reminder, Freshmen and Sophomores will be following a slightly different schedule. Please click on the appropriate link below (also given to your child in Homeroom last week). Both grade levels will be done with school at the completion of their testing session.
Sophomore Schedule and details
Tuesday April 11th for Juniors and Seniors
Juniors and Seniors will NOT need to report to school but will be working through an Explore Day to accomplish necessary tasks for their particular grade level. Again, information was sent previously in an email. In homeroom this week they selected their choice with their teacher, but the options are below again for your reference:
Thursday, April 13th for everyone - Family | Teacher Conferences
We will be hosting Family | Teacher conferences from 4:30-7:30. There is no sign up for this spring session so families can meet teachers in their classrooms “Open House” style. There will be maps available in hallways to help direct you to your child’s rooms. Report cards will also be available for pick up at the main entrance when you arrive.
Remember that Tom Farley, brother of late comedian Chris Farley, will be offering several presentations in the Auditorium that evening: 4:00, 5:30 and 6:45, with each lasting about 30 min. He will be presenting on current trends in teen mental health, substance use and ways to communicate with your child. There will be a Q&A following each session. See flier below for more information.
We look forward to supporting our students to do their best to show what they know as well as the important time we have with you to connect with you on their progress.
Stay well and see you soon!
Mrs. Leigh Ann Scheuerell, FAHS Principal

Hello Juniors and Families,
In light of the snow day today, I wanted to give you an update on the Junior ACT Bootcamp that was planned for today for the second half of the Junior class.
We are thankful the ACT Tutoring and Test Prep Company is able to return on Friday, February 24th to provide this opportunity for you!
As a reminder, please report directly to the Auditorium at 7:50 to check in for attendance. Please make sure to bring your fully charged device and something to write with. We will provide all other materials.
The training session will run until approximately 12:30. We will have 2 breaks (1 with a snack break provided for you) and we will also extend the lunch hour so you have plenty of time to eat before joining ET late.
Stay safe and I will see you all soon!
