We are now asking for your feedback on how we are progressing through our goal areas for the Strategic Plan. Please consider filling out the FAPS Strategic Plan Stakeholder Survey so that we may use the feedback moving into the 2nd year of this Strategic Planning. Thanks in advance for your time and feedback.

FHS Summer Hours - Beginning Week of June 10-13 - Closed on Fridays
Beginning the Week of June 10-13th, FHS will be switching to its summer schedule, which is as follows:
Summer Hours:
1. Week of June 10-13 & June 17-20, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Mon - Thur (closed on Fridays)
2. June 17th to July 18th: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays (except July 4th)
3. Week of July 22 - Aug 15, return to Mon - Thursday - 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (closed on Fridays)
FHS Credit Check - Are You On Target to Graduate On Time?
Each student is assigned to a graduating class based on the number of credits earned. This grade classification is determined twice a year: 1) August (after Summer School is complete) and 2) February (after 1st semester credits are known).
Letters about grade classification should be viewable in Parent Vue.
Link to Credit Chart: (see button below)
No Credit on the Transcript or 4th mp Report Card?
Underclassmen who have 10+ absences for the second semester received an Attendance Appeal during SRT (with directions on how to complete) on Thursday, May 16 with a deadline for completion on Friday, May 31st.
Reasons Why Students May Have an "NC" (No Credit) on Transcript
1) Failure to return the Attendance appeal will return in a loss of credit for classes.
2) Student did not score a C+ or better on the semester exam.
3) Attendance Appeal was denied for lack of documentation.
Students whose Attendance Appeal is not granted will be offered an Attendance Plan. These are typically placed in the envelope with the final transcript and needs to be signed and returned to be in effect.
9 Week Attendance Plan (8/20/24 to End of October, 2024)
1. Students who didn't get a C+ on the semester exam,
2. Students who don't return an Attendance Appeal,
3. Students whose Attendance Plan was NOT granted (lack of documentation, insufficient into, etc.)
The PLAN requires students to have no unexcused absences and no more than 3 tardies total for all classes combined for a 9-week period when school is in session (essentially the length of a marking period).
Remember: Having credit on hold during an Attendance Plan can impact credit standing, athletic eligibility, class standing, GPA, transcripts, etc. until the PLAN requirements have been met.
Underclassmen Obligations - Take Care of Obligations Before Schedule Pick up in August
Obligations - Take Care of Before Schedule Pick-up in August

Obligation notices will be mailed the 2nd week of June with the transcript. Obligations not settled could impact schedule pick-up in mid-August.
