• Update for Students And Families

  Dear Students,

   

  We know that there has been a LOT of information for you to navigate over the past few weeks, and we have been working hard to organize everything for our new way of learning. Today, teachers and staff returned from summer break and we spent time reconnecting, cleaning up, and planning courses. It was really nice to see everyone and we are all very excited to see YOU very soon! 

   

  Here are the details of what you need to know: 

  • FMHS will have Remote Orientation on September 16, 17, and 18. Your Orientation will begin at 9:15 each morning. You will be sent a link to login. We will release specific details as soon as possible, but there are still a few things we are working out. Stay tuned!
  • You should already have received an email letting you know which cohort you are in, which days you are coming to school, and which courses you are scheduled for. 
  • We hope to be able to get you your schedule at Orientation. 
  • All FMHS students have class on 9/21 at 9:15 AM. This might help you visualize your first week of classes:

  There are a few ways for you to keep in touch with us before 9/16: 

  • Check the FMHS Website - we regularly make announcements there!
  • Check the FMHS Instagram - we post updates there from time to time as well
  • Reach out to your advisor if the information you need is not online - they are back after break and here to help. 

  This year, it is going to be really important to be patient, flexible, and understanding with each other. We have been through so much as a school community and as a city, and we want to support you all as we welcome you back to FMHS (whether in person or remote!)

   

  Look forward to seeing you soon!

• Critical Update for Families 9/1/20

  Dear Families, 

  Today's guidance from NYC DOE is linked here. In person instruction has been delayed until 9/21. The Chancellor is preparing a family letter and we will send it along as soon as we have it. FMHS is revisiting our planned schedules and readjusting accordingly. This process will take time and we appreciate your patience. 

  Many thanks, 

  Danielle Salzberg and Kathryn Hickey
