Free ACT Prep for all High School students
|
Through our partnership with Edmentum, the District is excited to roll out four FREE ACT prep classes for all high school students. By logging into their district Clever account and clicking the Edmentum tile, high school students will find classes that will help them prepare for each of the four ACT subtests in Reading, English, Math, and Science. Students planning to attend college benefit from ACT prep activities. Earning a higher score can be the difference between being accepted into a college and not having that option. In addition, when a student earns a higher score, they can qualify for scholarship money that can make a significant impact on a family’s ability to afford college. Please see this link for instructions on how to access the courses. For questions, please email curriculum@fhsdschools.org.

As always, we ask that if your child is sick or experiencing symptoms of influenza, COVID-19 or any other illness please keep them home. However, we have seen an increase in the number of students who are choosing to miss school for reasons other than illness. We know that students learn best when they're engaging with teachers and peers in the classroom environment. While assignments at the secondary level are posted on Canvas to allow students to keep up with work while absent, this is no substitution for in-person learning. If students are not sick, they should be in the classroom. Please encourage good attendance for your child. Thank you for your cooperation!
