Grades & Academics

Graduation Requirements

What do you need to graduate? Students need 24 credits & meet the graduation requirements below in order to graduate. These 24 credits are made up of core classes & electives. To graduate, each student must earn:

4 English credits
3 Science credits
3 History credits
3 Math credits
2 World Language credits
1 CTE credit (Arts or vocational classes)
1 PE credit
1 Health credit
6 Elective credits

Graduation Requirements are:

Two CRLE's (Career related learning experiences)
Resume (11th grade)
My Plan Essay (12th grade)

Core 9th grade classes are English, Physics, and Math. Students taking AVID 9 - it will count as an elective. Students need to receive a D or higher to pass as class. Passing a semester counts as 0.5 credits per class. This adds up to 8 credits per year.

Tutorial

Around 4 times each month, students will be on a tutorial schedule. This means that they'll have around 45 minutes after 4th or 8th period to meet with their teachers in order to:

Retake tests
Get help on assignments
Ask questions
Go over material that they might have missed due to an absence

While students aren't required to go to tutorial, attending these sessions is highly recommended.

SUN Program Tutoring

The SUN program has been able to offer free after school tutoring in the library on Wednesdays & Thursdays from 3:30 to 5:15. We don't know if we will be able to continue with this service. We will know by BTS Prep Days and will update this site accordingly. For more info check out the FHS SUN program website.

StudentVUE & ParentVUE

Students can login to StudentVUE to keep track of their grades, schedules, and classrooms. Checking your grades regularly is a great habit to get into. Families can also check their student's grades and attendance by logging into ParentVUE.

All family members with education rights are opted in to receive paperless report cards. This guide will explain to family members how they can opt-out and receive paper copies of report cards. Family members at the same address will need to opt out of paperless as well in order for family members to receive a paper copy of the report card.

Class Schedules

Students will be able to access their class lists during Back To School Prep Day on August 18th.
Class schedules (with assigned classrooms & teachers) can be assigned in StudentVUE on August 26th. Students can also pick up a paper copy of their schedule in front of the school on their first day.

You can request to change your schedule if you:

Were put into the wrong level course (i.e. you were put in Spanish 3 instead of Spanish 5)
Are missing a class needed for graduation
Have a hole in your schedule (i.e. you don't have a 3rd period).

Schedules will NOT be changed to move you to a different teacher or because you don't like a class. To request a schedule fix:

Contact your counselor through the Schedule Fix Form. Forms will be available during Back To School Prep Day and beyond. Counselors will prioritize requests as they come in and communicate with the student about the outcome of the request.
