Seeking Academic Support?
FHS offers an After School Homework Center will be open in the library from 2:40-3:40pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students can get support for their work or just stay for a quiet work/study location. Students are welcome to utilize as little or as much of that hour as they would like. The After School Study Hall teachers will let the students' classroom teachers know that they attended and what they worked on that afternoon. If a student needs support with transportation after school, they should speak to Ms. Gulko or Mr. Mellon.

The G.E.A.R. Parent Network, a program of Crisis & Counseling Centers, is the place where Gaining Empowerment Allows Results. The G.E.A.R. Parent Network is a free statewide self-help parent support network for parents and caregivers caring for children and teens with emotional and behavioral health concerns. G.E.A.R. staff strive to help parents gain knowledge in parenting, child development, finding natural supports and supportive services, educational issues, accessing services, community support, and how to advocate for their child appropriately.
