Back to School Guidelines (Spanish)

Good afternoon FAHS families, staff and students,
We hope all of you are having an excellent holiday break and are as excited as we are to welcome in a new year with our return to in-person learning options on January 5th.  We wanted to touch base with you with some reminder details that were sent out before break about our return.

• There will be no students in the building for classes during the day on January 4th.
• All expectations of physical distancing, face coverings at all possible times and constant hand washing/sanitation processes will remain in place and enforced.
• Our return will be on the normal A/B rotation and the normal length scheduled day from 7:50 am-3:10 pm every day including our normal 3 lunch periods during the 3rd block.  Please see the attached daily bell schedule.
• Enrichment will be as it normally has with every Monday's enrichment slotted as a "no-move" Monday for students to sign up for enrichment periods throughout the week beginning on January 11th.   
• Cohort 1 of students (last name beginning with the letters A-K and others that have been contacted separately) with an "A" day scheduled that Tuesday will be allowed to return in person while cohort 2 students (last names beginning with letters L-Z) will be expected to attend classes virtually.  On Wednesday, January 6th, cohort 1 students will again be in person with cohort 2 students attending virtually for everyone's "B" day.  Beginning on January 7th, the opposite rotation will happen for two days of cohort 2 in-person while cohort 1 students will be virtual.  Make sure to take a look at the attached January calendar if you have questions.  Students that have been attending already in-person, should have been contacted already by their teacher or counselor and have the option of being a part of cohort 1 and 2. 
• The expectation is that students that have scheduled study halls will still attend all study halls in person while in person and check in with their study hall supervisor when in virtual learning format.
• Attendance, grading and other normal expectations of school will still be in place and enforced regardless of the format a student is in.
• January 11th, 18th and 25th will be 1:30 pm early release days.  The schedule for each of those are incorporated into the daily bell schedule attachment

Everyone's flexibility and hard work will not only be appreciated but also critical for academic success as we wrap this semester up. Individual teachers will communicate what semester exams will entail as they will vary subject to subject and the overall bell schedule will not change.  As we have had in the past, if a student has any days scheduled with 3 or more exams, they will need to contact their associate principal and teacher to help work through the situation.  Obviously, with a change of this magnitude, there will be many more details to work through than this brief list can provide.  This is meant as an overview and as we start the process, will constantly be evaluating and assessing if changes are necessary and improvements can be made.  If there are any that should arise, we will do our best to communicate them as quickly and thoroughly as possible.  

Thank you all in advance for your patience and dedication to getting these processes into place and I hope you have a great rest of your winter break!
GO BLACKHAWKS!

Good afternoon everyone,

Good afternoon Fort Atkinson High School Families,

At this time, Quarter 1 grades have been entered, processed and available for viewing on PowerSchool.  In order to view your student's Q1 report card, please follow the attached directions.  Please keep in mind, although Q1 grades and report cards are not transcripted as permanent records, they are an important progress monitoring tool for you and your student to communicate on their academic performance at school.  If you have any questions specific to the grades listed, feel free to contact your student's teacher.  If you have questions with regards to accessing their grades on PowerSchool, please contact the high school main office.

A reminder that the new time for FAHS materials pick up will be from 2-6 pm every Thursday at the front entrance of the high school.

Thanks for your help and understanding as we all have navigated through the first quarter together.

GO BLACKHAWKS!!
