A REMINDER FROM YOUR NURSES

PARENTS – With the cold and flu season upon us, please remind your student to go to the nurses office when not feeling well.  Students have been texting parents from class stating they are not feeling well.  For your convenience and to avoid disruption of class, it is important for students to come to our office to contact you.  If the student needs to leave school, they can contact you from our office and be in our office waiting for you if pick up is required.  That way, we are also aware of any illnesses present in our  building.

Also, please remember the policy adopted by the FHSD is to exclude students sent home with fever until the fever is gone for 24 hours without the use of acetaminophen or ibuprofen.  Please help us control the spread of viral illness and disease by complying with our 24 hour exclusion policy after your child is sent home with a fever, or after developing a fever while at home.

Thank you for your cooperation!  FHN Nurse Office   12/22

2014-15 Youth Spectator Guidelines

All students and children currently enrolled in the eighth grade and younger must be accompanied and directly supervised by an adult to be admitted to or remain at the event.  We expect students and children to remain under the supervision of the adult that they are attending the event with.
Youth spectators as described above will not be admitted to the stadium without a designated adult.  ANY YOUTH SPECTATORS WITHOUT A DESIGNATED ADULT WILL BE HELD OUTSIDE THE STADIUM UNTIL THEIR PARENTS COME TO PICK THEM UP OR ACCOMPANY THEM INTO THE GAME.

Accompanying adults are asked to maintain diligent supervision of those youth spectators for which they have assumed responsibility the entire contest.  Any youth spectators found to be without adult supervision will be returned to the adult(s) they came to game with.  If their adults are unable to be found, they will be held outside the stadium until a responsible adult comes to pick them up or accompany them back to the game.

Sportsmanship/Cheering Expectations

For the enjoyment of all, the following expectations for fans, players, and students will be enforced:

• No student seating on the front row of the bleachers. No standing on the floor.
• Continuous standing in designated areas only.
• No profanity or implied profanity allowed.
• No disrespectful chants including personal remarks directed at players and officials.
• No singling out players by number or name on posters, signs, or chants.
• No disrespectful behaviors to other fans, players, or cheerleaders.
• Cheerleaders will not cross over half-court in basketball games.
• Sportsmanship Banners will be displayed at all schools and appropriate expectations will be explained during public service announcements.
• Cheer for your own team – Not against the other team!

Pre-Game Activities

• Must be school organized and approved.
• No coolers.
• Faculty members (coaches, sponsors, or administrators) must do all cooking unless it is provided by an outside source (vendor, food trucks, etc.)
• Must be in a designated area set up by the Administration.

Dress Code at Outside Events

• Since a major part of Education Based Athletics is that we are an extension of the classroom, students will NOT be allowed to attend games without proper attire, students CANNOT be shirtless (males) or in sports bras (females) to wear body paint. Face paint is allowed along as the student’s identity is recognizable.

The Francis Howell School District has designated the following days, in the 2014-15 school calendar, as make up days, for snow or other inclement weather.  We ask that families, please avoid scheduling vacations or other events on these dates, so that your children will not have to miss school should we need to use these days for makeup. Thank you for your help in this matter.
