First Week of School Complete!
We finished our first week of school! This week provided opportunities for us to connect with your students, share our stories, continue our Capturing Kids Hearts implementation, kick off school-wide PBIS, and enjoy the time getting to know your students. I am sure your children are nothing short of exhausted but hopefully, they have a sense of optimism and positivity leading into the long holiday weekend. We are looking forward to an exciting September at FHS!

Building Policies
Now that we are back at school, it is a good time to remind families of some building-wide policies that are supported by our PBIS matrix. Thank you for your support!
- Student cell phones should be put away and out of sight during class time, which includes if they use a hall pass. If you need to contact your student during class time, please contact the main office.
- We have a universal pass system that students should use every time they leave class and during lunch times This ensures the safety of our building and maximizes time in the classroom.
- After school, the building is only open to students who are with staff members, coaches, or advisors. If a student is waiting to get picked up, we will ask them to wait outside. This is in place for the safety and security of the building.
Parent Coaching
OK2Say Assembly
OK2SAY is the student safety program that allows students to confidentially report tips on potential harm or criminal activities directed at students, school employees, and schools. It uses a comprehensive communication system to facilitate tip sharing among students, parents, school personnel, community mental health service programs, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and law enforcement officials about harmful behaviors that threaten to disrupt the learning environment.
Students will learn how to provide tips that can help keep our students and staff safe. If you would like to learn more about the program please use THIS LINK.
