A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence can be developed. Students with a growth mindset understand they can get smarter through hard work, the use of effective strategies, and help from others when needed. It is contrasted with a fixed mindset: the belief that intelligence is a fixed trait that is set in stone at birth.

Math Lab
The Math Lab, located in the library, is open to students each day. Classroom teachers staff the Math Lab and any student can access the Math Lab during study hall periods.. Students needing improvement in their math skills may be assigned to the Math Lab during a study hall. This assignment will be based on teacher, administrator and/or guidance counselor recommendation. The Math Lab is also available for students interested in expanding their math skills or seeking targeted support.

FHS Reassessment Policy
We believe students should be able to earn the opportunity for reassessment in order to reach proficiency.
In our school, students can earn opportunities for reassessment. Each course will have a clearly outlined process for how and when a student is eligible to reassess. Teachers of each course will inform students of their reassessment process. All tasks associated with the relearning process are at the discretion of the teacher.
Though reassessment can/will look different in each course, there are some school-wide processes that we’ll use:

Though reassessment can/will look different in each course, there are some school-wide processes that we’ll use:
- A student will have the option to request to retake or revise a summative assessment if s/he has not yet reached proficiency (83 or higher).
- Teachers decide whether a student is eligible to participate in the reassessment process.
- Habits of Work grades are factored into this decision.
- Students who do not request or do not complete the reassessment opportunity will maintain the original score.
- There are no reassessments for midterm and final exams.
- There are no opportunities for reassessment for incidents of academic dishonesty.
