College Fairs: NACA College Fair-*Automated Fair Bring labels with Student Information: Straight A Cardinal tickets are here! If you earned a 3.5 or better gpa first semester, please come to see Mrs. Jarvis in the main office before or after school to pick up your tickets. You will need a student I.d. or picture i.d. to pick up your tickets. Thank you. 5/21 Jarvis Beginning yesterday, FHN will have two hall monitors in the building. Mr. Jesse Stewart and Mr. Jeremy Opfer, who have experience working in the building as a substitute teachers, will be in the hallways throughout the school day assisting in the orderly operation of the school. This includes asking students for passes when students are in the hallways, reporting students who are in the hallways without permission, and communicating with school staff.
The hall monitors will be wearing school identification, so students and parents can recognize them by reading their identification. I think you will find them to be very helpful.
I look forward to a very successful academic month of May as we work toward our current final day of school for students on Thursday, May 21. Please let me know if you have any questions. 5/21 Downs

*The senior class will have a panoramic picture taken on May 15thwhen they have graduation practice. Forms to order this picture are available in the main office and with Mrs. Lorraine Smith. 5/15 Smith
*Official locker clean-out will be at the end of 6th period on Monday, May 18th. We will provide time for students to clean out their lockers. We will do this the last 10 minutes of class – 1:13 to 1:23 p.m. We request your help in a couple of ways. First, please emphasize to your students in advance that it is important that their lockers be completely cleaned out – no books, pictures, paper, pens, shelving units, clothes, graffiti, gum, garbage, etc. They should not leave things just because they don’t want them. Any items left in lockers will be thrown away or donated to charity. Even though students will be keeping the same locker for the next year, each locker needs to be emptied due to the building cleaning process that takes place over the summer.
Please make sure your students know:
If students are absent on the 18th or if they are off campus 6th hour, they are required to clean their locker on their own time before the last day of school. Students will be assessed a $10 fine if their locker is not completely empty by the last day of school.
In addition, students will be assessed a $10 late fee for each book not turned in to their teacher by the last day of school. Students should not just leave their books in lockers or other areas of the building. Students should not give their book to a teacher other than the one who assigned it to them, or just leave it on a teacher’s desk. Students should always receive their Book Inventory form from their teacher as receipt that they turned in their book. Students who do not follow these procedures will end up on the book fine list.
Second, we ask that all staff be out in the halls to monitor students and lockers close to your room. Please put your recycling bin in the hallway for students to put paper in. Garbage bags will be put in your mailbox prior to locker clean-out for other items. Students should close their locker door after it is cleaned out. At the end of locker clean-out, if your trash is not picked up by one of the custodians, please pull it inside your classroom door so it does not become an obstacle in the hallway.
Students will go to their seventh period class once the bell rings. I believe that ten minutes is a reasonable amount of time to complete this process.
Thank you for your help with this. If you have any questions, please contact me or Ms. Kimball. 5/18 Blankenship

Students will report to their homerooms on half-day final exam days on Wednesday, May 20th and Thursday, May 21st. The first exam of the day begins at 8:20 AM. Buses will be running on their regular schedule on both of these half-day exam days.

******************************
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)
