Common Elements of All CBL Classes
Please review FHS Grading Policies as the semester comes to an end.
Food Deliveries
Students are prohibited from ordering delivery food during the school day, either directly from a restaurant or through smart phone applications and websites. Any food deliveries will be confiscated by the front office and, at the discretion of the front office, may either be retrieved at the end of the school day or discarded. Violation of this policy may result in student discipline.
After School
Students are expected to leave FHS by 2:30pm each day unless they have an after school or extracurricular activity that starts directly after school. The Media Center will be open until 3:30pm each day for students who have school work to complete. Please make arrangements to pick up your student by 3:30pm each day.
Students may not wait after school for evening activities, games or practices. Credit recovery starts at 2:30pm, if students are not in the class by 2:30pm they will not be allowed to enter.
Class of 2023 Cap and Gown Ordering
Seniors! Ordering a cap and gown is an important part of taking place in the graduation ceremony. The link below is a direct link to the standard cap and gown package. If you would like to order additional senior gear from Josten’s, please feel free to visit their site at Jostens.com for a list of options. Orders for cap and gowns need to be in by February of 2023.
Additionally, students are not allowed to have decorated caps for the graduation ceremony. Some students like to have a decorated cap for the senior walk. Students who like to do this have done one of two things:
- Ordered an extra cap so they could decorate that one
- Decorated a piece of poster board or cardboard and taped it to their cap for the walk and could remove it for the ceremony.
