Handbook

2024-2025 FMHS Student Handbook 

Letter To Parents & Guardians

Dear FMHS Parents and Guardians,

The Fort Morgan High School faculty and administration look forward to the 2024-2025 school year! FMHS has a history of excellence in academics, athletics, and activities. We believe that strong relationships between parents and school personnel provides the foundation for student achievement and the excellence we continually pursue.

We ask you to join us in supporting your child’s academic success by:

  • Familiarizing yourself with this handbook.
  • Supporting your child’s regular attendance to classes. A direct, and positive, correlation exists between attendance and achievement. Students who are not in class do not learn. Please make every effort to schedule doctor and other appointments after school or during your student’s unscheduled time. If you do need to excuse an absence, please do so within 48 hours, and remind your student to obtain make-up work from his or her teachers. Please be aware that you may need to provide a doctor’s note as documentation for a medical excused absence.
  • Promoting a healthy lifestyle. The brain needs rest to grow. Encourage your child to get at least 7 hours of sleep every night. It might help to have teens charge their phone in a family space, rather than their bedroom. Additionally, students who use alcohol and drugs often lose sight of their academic goals, settling for levels of achievement far below their potential. Talk to your child about the laws and health risks around drug and alcohol use.
  • Talking to your child about their high school experience. Encourage your child to get involved at FMHS! Research shows that student involvement is related to higher academic achievement. Check your child’s grades in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal  App. Many students have the Student Portal App, so you could ask your child to pull up their grades and show you, ask your child questions as often as possible about their high school experience – learning, events, involvement, grades, friends, etc.

Your support is paramount in helping staff prepare your child for life’s journey. Together, we can ensure that our FMHS graduates are prepared for success in their postsecondary endeavors.


Respectfully,
The Fort Morgan High School Administrative Team
