*The choir program did AWESOME yesterday at MSHSAA State Choir contest. Concert Choir and Treble Choir received overall ratings of Superior (I), and Chamber Choir not only received an overall Superior (I) rating, but also received a Superior rating from every judge on the panel. Our Men’s Choir received an overall rating of Excellent (II) which is pretty amazing since they don’t meet together on a regular basis like the other choirs do (they are a combination choir made up of guys from 2 different classes). Anyway, it was a pretty incredible day and our students were outstanding. 3/6 Smith

FHSD Needs Your Input! Francis Howell School District invites all parents and community members to participate in a district survey to solicit feedback from residents about Francis Howell’s strengths, challenges, and priorities. Beginning on Feb. 20, Patron Insight, a Kansas City-based market research organization, will initiate a comprehensive patron opinion phone survey to 400 district households. The households will represent a cross-section of our residents representing all geographic parts of the district, people of all different ages, and everyone from newcomers to long-term residents. The 10- to 15- minute phone survey will touch on a wide variety of topics, and will include “pick one”-type questions, along with opportunities for residents to share their comments.
Community members who do not receive a phone call, but would like to share their input and participate in the survey can take the survey online.
Click here to take the survey. Survey responses will be anonymous and reporting will not identify individuals.

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.
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:
Pre-Game Activities
Dress Code at Outside Events
Dr. Dave Wedlock, Francis Howell Principal
Dr. Sonny Arnel, Francis Howell Central Principal
