Fort Frye High School

Here is the link to the February 9th Edition of What is UP at the FORT. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ui1Aukt5jvcDNT3I1D6FmDAK9qkTh5KILeoRIjO1h1o/edit?usp=sharing We are already into February and interim reports have been completed in the 3rd 9 weeks. There are many events and schedules through the end of the school year, so I thought it would be good to try something different with What is UP at the FORT. I have included a TAB at the bottom of the document with each remaining month (February, March, April, and May) For those people that just want to focus on what is immediately upcoming, you can just look at the current month (February). It will have all the events and will be pretty solid on all details (should not change much). For those people that want to see the entire picture and all the events and schedules, you can click on each Month and look at upcoming schedules and events. (such as testing, signing days, community service, musicals, Graduation, and other events). There could be more details added and some changes, but the dates and main framework should be the same. I will make any updates and send out a new Edition each Friday, so keep checking it for changes and additions, but hopefully this appeals to the short term, long term, and somewhere in between planners. Have a Great Week at the FORT and WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND! #ArmourUp

Parents/Guardians: Your student has or will be emailing a copy of their YouScience results to you. Students completed a YouScience aptitude and interests assessment earlier this year and the results of their personal Strengths Profile has been sent to you. This Strengths Profile includes individual aptitudes. Aptitudes indicate the potential to excel at and enjoy certain activities. Unlike skills, knowledge or interests, which can be enhanced or changed, aptitudes remain stable. They show how your student's brain is wired. Additionally, you will find information on how each aptitude affects your child, along with how they may find things easy or difficult. This Strengths Profile also has tips for making the most of each at school, at work, and in social activities.

Juniors and families: The Guidance Office sent an email regarding a bus trip to The Ohio State University March 25. If you are an FFHS junior who is interested in touring the OSU campus please notify Mrs. Walsh. There are still spots open on the trip. The announcement is also available on the High School Facebook page.

Seniors received an email regarding a special announcement from the Parkersburg Area Community Foundation and their requirements for their scholarships and the delay in FAFSA reporting. The announcement is also available on the high school Facebook Page.
