mere recitation — it allows involvement and growth. Increased Kavanah is
more easily attained in the Beis Midrash.
All students are expected to go directly to the High School Beis Midrash upon
arrival at the start of the school day. Shacharis begins at 7:45 a.m. Students
must place their phone in their respective phone box upon arrival to be
marked present. Students are encouraged to be in the Beis Midrash with
their Tefillin on prior to the beginning of the davening. Any talmid who enters
the Beis Midrash before 7:45 a.m. will be marked “on time.” If he enters after
7:45 a.m. he will be marked late. A talmid who enters after 8:00 am will be
marked absent. Three absences will result in a detention which will be
administered at the discretion of the administration.
All talmidim are expected to quietly stay by their assigned seat with their
head up and tefillin on (during Shacharis) for the duration of Davening.
Attendance will comprise 50% of the Minyan grade, and behavior will
comprise 50% of the minyan grade.
Snow Days
If school will not open due to snow or inclement weather, an announcement
will go out via email. If you do not hear that school has been canceled for
that day, you can assume that regular classes will be held. In case of any
other unexpected irregularity, you will be duly informed.
CONDUCT
Interpersonal Relationships
FYHS considers interpersonal behavior among the highest priorities in the
student’s education. Students are expected to deal with all persons with
extreme respect — not only administration and teachers but also peers,
office staff, and maintenance staff. Fighting, inappropriate language,
rough-housing and violence in any form is unacceptable. Respect must be
accorded both to the property of FYHS and the property of others.
