During the academic year, the normal day’s bell schedule starts at 7:30 a.m. and comprises eight 50-minute class periods separated by 5-minute passing periods. Classes are held Monday through Friday, except on specified holidays and faculty institute days. Periods 4-7 are lunch periods.

Several times a year, time is set aside at the start of the day for faculty in-services. On these teacher institute days, classes may start or end at a different time than usual. On late start days, classes begin at 8:50 a.m. On late start days, students still attend all eight periods, but the length of each period is somewhat abbreviated.

Sometimes the school will have a student activity period in the morning on a given day to engage in building wide community building or work on a building wide project. The school day still starts and ends at the same times as on a normal day, but the class periods on these days are shortened to accommodate the activity period. Buses arrive and depart at their regular times.

Period 8: 1:58 P.M. - 2:45 P.M.

Final exams are given at the end of each semester. Since the exams typically require more time than a 50-minute class period allows, periods during finals are lengthened to 90 minutes and split over three days. Students are required to attend periods for which they have final exams, but they do not need to attend school during free periods.

Students are encouraged to plan ahead for these final weeks of the semester leading into final exams. FHS teachers will again be utilizing our "End of Semester Organizer" to share important upcoming test/quiz/project dates and exam information. Students can access the organizer here, through Fremd Events, or within their course Schoology pages to use this organizer. Students can use Notability to write information into the organizer if they choose to use this digital format.
