We are excited to share an update on what students are accomplishing in Physical Education this semester. Our program is designed to build lifelong fitness habits, develop strength and skills, and promote overall well-being through a variety of engaging and challenging activities.
The English Language Department at FKHS continues to ensure that all students are College and Career ready. To do so, we structure lessons that incorporate collaboration, peer-to-peer feedback, and student inquiry and reflection. Teachers support this by implementing daily quick writes, flexible grouping, self-monitoring strategies, and differentiated instruction. For Quarter 3, our instructional focus is Argumentative Writing, which will be assessed through the district-mandated CPA (Common Paced Assessment) for Quarter 3.
