⬇ GUIDANCE ⬇
Our June FHS School Counseling Newsletter is hot off the press! Each issue is designed to keep our students, families, and staff informed about how we’re supporting the students of FHS, upcoming events and helpful resources.
Students will not be able to make changes to their schedules over the summer. The next add/drop period will start on Thursday, September 3rd.
Very Important Considerations:
Schedules will not be changed to be with specific teachers or peers.
You must keep a minimum course load of 6 credits.
You must have 6 credits to access Open Campus.
Schedule changes are not confirmed until you see them in PowerSchool.
Some changes may not be possible if classes are full.
Students may not request schedule changes via email.
Schedules are subject to change over the summer for course balancing.
Falcon Labs could be added to your schedule over the summer - these labs are to help students get off to a successful start! Falcon Lab placement is based on end of year and semester course grades and teacher recommendations.

The start of a new school year is a great time to take a look at the FHS Student Handbook.
FHS classrooms have shifted to a digital hall pass system called Orange Pass. All students sign out digitally to leave class for any reason. This system is replacing our paper sign out system and helps to monitor the location of our students and the "traffic" during class periods in the hallways. We have added Faculty Hall Monitors this year as well to help maintain the safety of the halls and school building. If you have any questions about the online pass system or logistics of the building, please reach out to Principal Jen Gulko (gulkoj@rsu5.org) or Asst. Principal Charlie Mellon (mellonc@rsu5.org).
