FHS Important Dates
Please see important dates relating to FHS with the School Calendar link below.
Low Hours on APEX
Graduation can only happen if students make progress and complete classes. Please contact the school if you would like to know your student's progress toward graduation. All grade levels at FHS have the same expectation for coursework and time spent on APEX each day. Please see below.
Students have the ability to work on APEX anywhere they have internet connection and computer.
As a reminder, students are expected to:
· Complete 1 class every 2 weeks, or 3 classes every 6 weeks. This ensures students are earning at least 3 credits each trimester and remain in good academic standing at FHS.
· Work on their classes a minimum of 2.5 hours each school day to maintain their current level of earning credits, or more if they are credit deficient.
**Parents/Guardians: Please look for your weekly Apex Coach email update and emails from school advisors on progress updates. It will provide valuable information regarding your students' progress. If you don't receive one such email, please let me know so I can enter your email address in our Apex system.
