All Students - Schedule Changes

Hello FUHS!!! Welcome Back and hope you had a great summer!

As of today, Karla Austin is the counselor for the sophomores and seniors and Julie Slater is the counselor for the freshmen and juniors. We are looking forward to working with you all this year.

Re: Your Schedule:
If you need to change your schedule for ACADEMIC REASONS, you'll need to make an appointment with your counselor. Please don't make your appointments during classtime. Due to overcrowding, changes will be made only if there's space available in the new class. You will need to obtain a schedule request form and get signatures from the teachers involved and a parent. The deadline to change classes is Thursday, Sept. 1.
