FHS Faculty Senate Updates
Course Selection for 25-26 is Underway!
Over the past week, teachers have been discussing course selections for next year with your students. This is the first step in creating their schedule for next year. Later in the spring the recommendations will be available to view in Aspen X2. Students may meet with their counselors to formalize those choices. In the meantime, students can log in to SchooLinks to explore course options and help prepare for the conversations with their counselors. You can find the program of studies for 25-26 here to review course descriptions to guide your selection process. There are new courses this year so check it out! Here is a Smore sent to you by School Counseling regarding additional details for course selection for grades 9, 10, and 11.
While we are planning for the future - now is a great time to take a look at all the amazing offerings that we have at FHS for after school activities. Registration is now open for spring sports, the clubs are listed here and you can always talk to your teachers about extra help options.

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.
