Parent News

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Soon we will be entering homecoming season. This is an especially fun time of the year for our students and staff. It is our hope that all of our students who choose to participate will have a great time with their friends and classmates. These social experiences provide a different type of learning opportunity, and we are glad we are able to host such events in Francis Howell.

While our kids face peer pressures all of the time, these types of social activities may present kids with additional peer pressure to be involved with alcohol and/or illegal drugs. By this time in students’ school experiences, they have been educated on the dangers and repercussions of such involvement; nonetheless, some will make bad choices. Such poor decisions can have both short term and long term implications. We are asking that you partner with us and reinforce a message of safety with your child. Your support will add additional credibility, and, hopefully, lessen the possibility of a bad choice being made.

We appreciate the opportunity to partner with you in the education of your child, and it is our hope that each of our students has a safe and drug and alcohol-free homecoming experience. If you have questions, or if you need some guidance on how to have such conversations with your child, please contact your child’s counselor or administrator.

Sincerely,

Dr. Pam Sloan Dr. Darlene Jones

Superintendent of Schools Principal – Francis Howell North High School
