FSHS serves students throughout the summer. But summer service provisions are scaled to the estimated lower summertime service demand.
FSHS’s digital and remote services operate mainly in a normal manner throughout summer. Larger service units in all FSHS service areas are also open throughout summer. In the meantime, smaller service units are open in stages during the summer season from 26 June to 4 August 2023. If necessary, you can be referred to a remote appointment or an in-person appointment for the nearest open FSHS service unit.
