FHS AP Research - Researcher Study Participation
FPS students and families are invited participate in research surveys or interviews for studies run by FHS AP Research students.
Since 2019, FHS has participated in the AP Capstone program. In AP Research, the final course in the Capstone program, students design and carry out a year-long investigation in a discipline of their choice. FHS's current AP Research cohort would appreciate the FPS community's assistance finding potential survey and interview subjects for their research. Please see the students' project details here to see if you or someone you know might qualify for one of their studies. All of their projects have been approved by the FPS Internal Review Board for ethical compliance.
All data and subject identities will be kept anonymous. The researchers are planning to close their interviews/surveys by Jan. 31, 2025.

FHS Drama Company presents GREASE!
Order Tickets now at www.cur8.com.
Written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey
Produced through special arrangements with Concord Theatricals
Directed and Produced by Chris Brindley
Music Direction by Ethan Lobenstine
Choreography by Chloe Kounadis
Here is Rydell High's senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding "Burger Palace Boys" and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking "Pink Ladies" in bobby sox and pedal pushers, evoking the look and sound of the 1950s in this rollicking musical. Head "greaser" Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their "Summer Nights" as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as "Greased Lightnin'", "It's Raining on Prom Night", "Alone at the Drive-In Movie" recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

FHS Student & Community Supports
The holiday season, although often a time of joy and togetherness, can also be a difficult period for many people. Reaching out for support can make a big difference. I would like to take this opportunity to remind members of the FHS community that there is professional support staff within the building, and in the greater Framingham community, if students and family members are struggling. Click the image for the names and contact information for the social work staff within the respective Houses as well as some community resource contact information.

Arrival and Dismissal
All cars dropping students off will pull down the middle lane in two rows up to the crosswalk. Once the row is at capacity, students will exit their cars. All cars will exit and the new row of cars will follow. This will mean not all students will be dropped off at the crosswalk. All students should utilize the crosswalk in the parking lot.
In order to keep things moving, it is imperative that drivers drop their students off wherever they fall in line and not wait until the crosswalk. Additionally, students should be ready to immediately get out of their vehicle. If you or your student need additional time or assistance getting out of the car, alternative arrangements can be made. Please reach out to your house VP to do so.
For dismissal, cars may access the first row as has traditionally been done. As cars arrive on campus, please pull up as far as you can so that as many cars as possible may fit into the row. Additionally, there should be two rows of cars in that lane.

Cell Phone Policy (Building-Wide Focus for 2024-25)
Upon entering the classroom, students will place phones in caddies or away in bags. Phones will not be visible or on their person. Same applies to airpods/earbuds.
During instructional time, phones are away and silent including trips during class-time to the bathroom. (Consistent with MCAS/AP Protocols)
No charging, not on desk, in pant pockets, on desk seat, on top of backpack, etc.
Students can continue use in hallways, cafeteria, or during privileges this year.
Parents have a role to play in helping us enforce this policy. Please refrain from texting or calling your teens during school hours. If there is a family emergency, then revert back to what we all did while growing up: call the school directly 1-508-620-4963.
Cell Phones have become ubiquitous in recent years and schools have struggled to adequately come to terms with their use, but it is increasingly clear that cell phones have a detrimental effect not only on student performance, but also on school culture.

E-Hall Pass
FHS will be utilizing a digital hall pass system this year called Securly Pass (Formerly named E-Hall Pass). Please see the document linked below for instructions on how to request a pass. You will need your school ID to expedite the process. We will not be using paper passes and Campus Safety Monitors will have the E-Hall pass app to check on permission for students in the hallways.
