During the weeks of 4/13 and 4/20, Francis Howell North will be End of Course (EOC) testing and will be on a block schedule from 4/13-4/16 and 4/20-4/23. The EOC is designed to test the skills and knowledge described in the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS). Assessments are designed to let teachers and parents know whether students are on track to be college and career ready when they graduate. In 2015, there will be new grade‐level EOC tests for English and math. It’s likely that fewer students will meet grade-level standards because of the higher expectations tested this year and a new online test format. These results show the tests are more demanding, not that students are doing worse. The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) publishes a Guide to Interpreting Results (GIR) that provides additional detail about the content of the Individual Student Reports. The GIR for the Spring 2015 MAP Grade-Level Assessments will be available in May on the DESE website athttp://dese.mo.gov/college- Attention Seniors!!!! Are you interested in giving a speech or performing a musical selection for graduation? If so, come to aduitions after school in room 58 (choir room) on Tuesday, April 28. All performances should be 3 minutes or less, and all auditions must take place during this time. There will be no make up date. You just bring a copy of your speech or song lyrics with you to the audition. Questions? See Mrs. Smith in room 58 by April 24th. 4/28 Smith *Senior Awards Night will be on May 13, in the gym and auditorium at 6:30 p.m. 5/13 Woodrum
The celebration was originally established for Francis Howell North, however we are thrilled to announce that for 2015 the event will be expanded to include all of the FHSD high schools.
The 2015 service will be held:
Friday Evening, May 29th 7:00 PM First Baptist Church of Harvester 4075 Highway 94 South St. Charles, Missouri
Graduation is a meaningful time in the lives of these students and their families. The Baccalaureate service is a joyous celebration in a Christian setting. All FHSD staff and families are invited to be with us. Joint instrumental and choral ensembles from the high schools and members of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes will participate.
Please save the date and help us spread the word. You have educated, loved, supported and encouraged these students through your labor over the years. You have gone home in the evening at times exhilarated and at times wondering if it’s all worth it. You have planted seeds that will bear fruit in wonderful ways that today we cannot begin to imagine. We would be honored to have you with us as we join the families in giving thanks for these graduates and for all they mean to us as we entrust their lives and futures to the Lord.
Sincerely, Ted House FHSD Parent 5/29 Seniors from the graduating class of 2015: you may pick up your year books during schedule pick for the 2015-2016 registration times. The times are posted on the left hand side of this eNews. 7/31 (Downs)
