FHS Hornet News

Dear FHS Families,

I hope everyone is able to enjoy their weekend!

We are nearing the end of first semester. Check the "Important Dates" for a list of events/concerts over the next two weeks.

Please be sure that your student is keeping up with their lessons, assignments, projects, and assessments. I've included the Final Exam schedule in this newsletter. We will host a Cocoa, Cookies, & Cramming studying event next Wednesday, 3:30-6:30 pm. This is an opportunity for students to work with their teachers and study groups to prepare for their final exams.

If you would like to meet with a teacher on Wednesday, 12/11, please contact them by Monday so that they can schedule that meeting. They need to plan ahead because they will have students coming to their rooms for extra help.

Students that are needing to complete attendance recovery are also able to stay and have that time counted towards the hours they are needing to make-up.

Attendance appeals letters will be mailed out to families December, 18, 2024. They need to be turned in by Friday, January 10, 2025.

Included in this newsletter:

• FHS Administration
• Final Exam Schedule (1st Semester)
• Request Interpreter Protocol
• Late Work Policy
• Important Dates
• ICU (Academic) Data
• Counseling
• Athletics
• Honoring Hornets
• Bell Schedule
• FHS Student Handbook
• Attendance

The FHS Hornet Newsletter will be emailed to families every month. This is our main source of communication with our families. Thank you for your continued support.

Have a safe and warm weekend!

The following policy was implemented on Monday, September 30, 2024.

1. A student must turn in their summative assignment on the designated date, or they will receive a 10% reduction in their grade.

2. The teacher will wait twenty four hours before adding their name to the ICU database. A “0” will be in the gradebook until the summative assignment is turned in.

3. After five school days, from the day the student was assigned to ICU, the supervisor will put in a referral, if the assignment is not completed.

4. Administration will make a plan with the student to get the summative assignment completed as soon as possible.

Please email Mrs. Boland (kboland@fulton58.org) if you have any questions about this policy you would like answered. We are creating a FAQ sheet .
