School News and Updates

It was a great first full week at FHS last week. All FHS classes are in full swing; both Trailblazer and ROTC students began traveling to attend their programs, and KySU dual credits will be up and running starting Monday. Fall athletics are underway with great opportunities to both be involved and cheer on the Panthers! Our goal is for every student to be involved in something outside of academics as part of our school community. Talk to your student about what they are involved in or ways that we can help them find community here at the high school. The shift away from technology-based classrooms has been great! Teachers and students are engaged in learning and building the culture of learners that make FHS strong.

Important Reminders

  • Our First 9 weeks Reward will be based on being on time to class. Students who have 3 or fewer tardies to class between now and September 25 will receive the reward
  • Neptune Navigate - As we start coursework and students want to check out Chromebooks, they will need to complete their Digital Driver's License, which they must renew every school year. This is done through Neptune Navigate, which is in their drop-down bookmark bar or at neptunenavigate.com. They will log in with their Google account. While they have until January to complete the full course, they must complete the first unit before they can check out a Chromebook to go home.

Academic Corner:

Hello Parents and Students,
iReady is in full swing this week and we should finish up testing Freshmen and Sophomores by the beginning of next week. Juniors will start their testing Tuesday. We want to be able to offer informed support for your students, so encourage them to put forth effort and show us what they know. We will be retesting all students who have not reached a benchmark score in the winter. If you are interested in accessing your student's scores, please reach out.

Parents, if you have not already, you will want to become an observer in your student's classes on canvas. This will allow you to have access to your student's grades, assignments, and announcements from their teachers.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

1. Student's Role:
  • Generate a Pairing Code: The student logs into their Canvas account, navigates to "Account" > "Settings", and finds the "Pair with Observer" option. This generates a unique, case-sensitive pairing code.
  • Share the Code: The student provides this code to the parent. 
2. Parent's Role:
  • Access Prism Learning:
  • Go to the designated Gradient Learning (Canvas) website or app. 
  • Create an Account:
  • If the parent doesn't have an account, they'll need to create one by clicking "Need a Canvas account" and selecting "Parents sign up here". 
  • Enter Pairing Code:
  • The parent will fill out their information (name, email, password) and enter the student's pairing code. 
  • Start Participating:
  • Once the pairing code is accepted, the parent can log in to their account and view the student's course information. 
Here is a link to a video that will wake you through the process:
