CALENDARS: Find the academic calendar for 2019-20 online now under RESOURCE CENTER! Parents may notice the 2019-20 calendar reverts back to an academic calendar similar to what FHSD followed prior to construction projects. For the past two years, FHSD academic calendars incorporated longer summers to provide additional time for construction, to prepare classrooms for students after construction, and to better ensure a smooth start to the school year. Construction is anticipated to be complete by summer 2019, so longer summers are no longer needed for construction purposes. In addition, all FHSD schools will now be air conditioned, which allows for a comfortable start date earlier in the summer. Finally, starting school in August is more consistent with the start dates of other area school districts, thus providing a more equal playing field for optimization of instructional time at the beginning of the year.
NEW START TIMES: During its regular April 23 public meeting, the Forest Hills Board of Education unanimously approved an administrative recommendation to change school start times to better support student learning and wellness. Anderson High School will start at 8 am and dismiss at 2:40 pm.
VACCINATIONS: Incoming 7th and 12th graders are required to have documentation on file in the health office of having received the following vaccines:
7th grade: 1 Tdap AND 1 meningitis vaccine
12th grade: 2 meningitis vaccines (or 1 if the first one was received after their 16th birthday. Please provide documentation from your physician's office or clinic to the school health office as soon as possible. More information
