No, it is not a secret that FHS students only go to school every other day due to COVID-19 safety concerns. What they are doing on their "Home Day" is not a secret either. Check out the Home Learning Day Directions for each class and look at some of the available learning calendars. Our FHS students should have full days of learning when they are at home. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I8-JF4a-cQ6ND2rw5DvJX6_PzR_9RT3YJc6WMh1XMio/edit?usp=sharing

ACTION NEEDED!! New bus schedules have been posted on FCSD website (Please see link below) and will take effect MONDAY (9/28) morning. PLEASE REVIEW. Bus routes are changing on a daily basis due to (1) students that were virtual coming back to in-person and (2) students that requested no bus transportation now requesting busing. Please understand that even one student added to a bus route may completely change more than one route. These situations are out of our control and happening often. We ask that parents be patient as bus routes and times change and as always, have your child(ren) at the bus stop 10-15 minutes prior to the posted bus arrival time. We are trying to communicate the changes but unfortunately there have been so many it’s hard to keep up. Thank you for your understanding. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_wNVGF3IooLfll1ZU9RVGpfbTlCaU1HX2RkRERQNE5YeUhpNU5LLVYtZTRBRHBSTk0tUm8
