Welcome To Our New Website

Francis Howell Central High School has moved to a new web page.  The Francis Howell School District has provided each school with a new web site to allow all school web sites to be as uniform as possible for our patrons.  I hope you like our new site that is currently a work in progress.  Please be patient as we transfer information from our old site to the new one as we strive to constantly improve communication for all.

If you have any comments or questions about our new web page please feel free to contact us at:

Current News

 

It is time for students to enroll for classes they want to take during the 2012-2013 school year.  All information will be reviewed individually with each student.  Now is the time to choose for next year as changes will not be allowed after staff is assigned classes being taught next year.   Enroll for the classes you want to take so you get to make the choices.

 

FHSD to Begin Making Automated Attendance Calls  

The Francis Howell School District (FHSD) is happy to announce that you will soon be receiving automated telephone calls regarding unverified student absences. Earlier this school year, the Francis Howell School District implemented the School Messenger notification system to make automated calls to parents and guardians regarding weather-related school closings and school emergencies. We are now expanding the use of the notification system to make attendance calls for students that are absent from school.

 Central Elementary, Hollenbeck Middle School, and Francis Howell Central High School are participating in an attendance calling pilot program beginning on Monday, February 13th. Attendance calling will be available at our remaining schools, pending any technical issues, starting on February 21, 2012. If your child is absent from school, you will receive an automated phone call, text message and/or email (depending on your contact preferences) through the SchoolMessenger system. The system allows our schools to log attendance and notify parents of any unverified absence in the timeliest manner possible. Please note, parents should still call the school attendance office to report your child/children's absence from school anytime they will be absent or late to school.  FHSD is pleased to offer this service to our parents and appreciate your patience while we implement the system. If you have questions or feedback about the pilot or calls that you receive, please send an email to communications@fhsdschools.org.  Click here for more information about SchoolMessenger.
