FAQ for New Families
What is Lion Time?
- Lion Time is an advisory period built into every student schedule. During Lion time, students have an opportunity to seek extra help from teachers, work on homework, and receive lessons on social emotional learning, digital citizenship and student rights and responsibilities. Students usually have the same teacher and classmates all 4 years.
What's a Subschool?
- A subschool is a team of adults who support your child through all 4 years at FHS. Subschools are assigned a part of student alpha list by last name and include an Assistant Principal, Administrative staff and School Counselor. There are two subschools in the building this year; Subschool 1&2 is in room A114 (A-Lee), and Subschool 3 & 4 is in room D127 (Lef-Z). Attendance issues, such as late arrivals, early dismissals, etc., will be handled by the Attendance Office in room L103, next to the main office.
Who are the Leadership kids?
- Your freshman may have come home from orientation talking about the upperclassmen that led discussions and games. Leadership is a class offered at FHS that develops skills in students and supports events such as orientation and open house.
Does FHS have a school supply list?
- Students are not expected to arrive at school next week with specific notebooks or supplies. Each teacher may recommend certain supplies for their class, but students should feel confident arriving the first week with only pencil and paper, and their school issued laptop and charger if they have already received it. No summer homework was assigned this year!
