If you pre-ordered a yearbook, those are not defective and can still be picked up anytime between 8:30-4:30 in room 2414, phase 4. If you have questions please email to stephen.teague@fayar.net

Dear FHS Families,

Good evening. This email contains important information concerning the change in our school calendar, change in daily bell schedule, and provides a way to communicate with the school if the change in bell schedule creates a hardship for your family.

On February 5, 2024, ALLPS will begin a new bell schedule. The schedule reflects an additional 35 minutes of instruction to allow for the seven snow days to be made-up and for the end of school to remain as May 24, 2024.

Every attempt has been made to have the new bell schedule be very similar to the current bell schedule. However, with 35 additional minutes being added to the day, there are some changes. If this new schedule causes a hardship for your student or family, please contact your student’s advisor or the school administration for flexibility on your child’s attendance.

The bell schedule is displayed below and can be found on ALLPS website and at this link:ALLPS new bell schedule. If you have any questions, please contact the school’s administration.

Thank you,

Dr. Denise Hoy
