Information about Rescheduling Final Exams

Only students who have three final exams in one day may request to reschedule one of the exams. To change a final exam, students must see their administrator for the proper form. Students must have it signed by their teacher, and return it to the intervention office by Wednesday, December 13.

Requests submitted based on convenience or vacation conflicts will not be accommodated. These exams will be placed in test make-up to be taken at a later date. Students looking to make up final exams over winter break must schedule a time with their administrator.

Tuesday, December 5 - Interested in Being a VAMP Mentor?

Interested in becoming a VAMP mentor for the Fall of 2024? Stop by the VAMP mentor informational meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, December 5 during all lunch periods in Room 164! The meeting will be around 10 minutes at the start of 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.

The Boosters are still looking for volunteers, both students and adults. Please see the different volunteer opportunities below:

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS
ADULT VOLUNTEERS - SIGN POSTING (Wednesday, December 6)
ADULT VOLUNTEERS - FRIDAY PREP AND DAY-OF SUPPORT

For our athletic teams that are departing from FHS in the morning - Please have a parent drop off and pick up rather than leaving cars in the lot all day, if possible. Team buses will be picking up in the front using the bus lane. All parking lots will be very full all day, and it would be helpful to clear out any cars as much as possible. We very much appreciate your help with this.
