 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!

Mrs. Scheuerell

Reminder: Today is an early release day. Students are done at 1:30.

Course Selection TODAY from 2:00-4:30 in the FAHS Gym and Commons. A parent/guardian MUST be present with students to complete this form as we need your signature.

See you soon!

We apologize there was a date error in the bulletin sent yesterday. Family | Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, April 13th from 4:30-7:30. More reminders to come!

Have a great day!

A message from your Student Senate:

Good Morning FAHS Students!

Your staff has been working hard to streamline and improve our Enrichment Time efforts to make sure you are all getting the support you need. It's important for you to know and pay attention to the following points:

• You need to start signing up for ET in FlexiSCHED on Sundays at 6pm – you MUST be signed up BEFORE Homeroom begins on Mondays (even if out sick, you can still access the system and sign up for the week)

• To sign up for a teacher you don’t have on your current schedule, get their permission first!

• FIRST PRIORITY: sign up for classes you have D’s or F’s, you need to make-ups and retakes or to get extra help

• You MUST sign up for EVERY DAY - even if you want to stay
  in your Homeroom. NO DEFAULTS ALLOWED! Your homeroom teachers have meetings on certain days so you can't assume they will be available.

• Attendance is recorded during ET. If you are not attending, you will be marked unverified and it will count against your attendance/truancy count.

If you have additional questions, please be sure to connect with your homeroom teacher!

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, December 9th. 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 the last week of January.

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

Hello FAHS Families,

We realized after conferences that there was an error on the Quarter 1 student report card. The grades are accurate but the mistake is in the calculation of the GPA. If you got a copy of the report card at conferences, you can dispose of that. We have printed out updated copies on yellow paper and will be sending them out in the US mail no later than tomorrow.

We apologize for this mistake.

Hey Seniors,

Just a reminder that Jostens will be here TOMORROW (Tuesday, November 8th) to meet you in the auditorium during Enrichment Time to work on planning for graduation.

This is an important meeting for you to get all the info you need, especially about caps and gowns and tassels. The Jostens rep will be handing out order forms at this meeting.

You will then be asked to turn them in during lunch on Friday (for cash or check) or submit your online orders by then (preferred method).

Make sure you come to the auditorium tomorrow!

Hi Families,

We’re going to Ireland in 2024, and you’re invited!

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://bit.ly/3ypAMCj. The meeting will be this Wednesday, November 9th, 2022 at 6pm in the High School IMC.

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your child
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

Registration for the info session is mandatory, and a parent or guardian must attend. (Can’t make it? Choose “No, but send info” so you don’t miss out.) Register here: https://bit.ly/3ypAMCj

Can't wait to see you there!
Mr. Nate Daniels
