#BestSchoolEver...
Francis Howell Middle is one of top middle schools in the state, Just today three parents shared with me how much they love our school and that they are so happy that their children attend "our" school. The first parent told me that she researched and researched schools before selecting to move into our attendance area last year. The second parent told me that switching from a small private school was the best decision he and his wife ever made for their three children. He went on to say that he left the option open for his children to attend private high schools, and they gave him a resounding "no thank you". They will stay here in Francis Howell. The third parent explained that he has seen such an positive and incredible transformation within his daughter since arriving here at Howell Middle last year. His family moved into our area from a neighboring school.

Cell phones, tablets, and other electronic devices during MAP Testing
In an effort to provide a secure testing environment students will not be allowed to have cell phones, tablets, or electronic devices in the classroom during MAP testing, May 2-6. We will be reminding students each morning to turn all devices off and place these items in their lockers. Cell phones or other devices in the classroom could result in test invalidation and could have disciplinary consequences. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and for reminding your child(ren) to keep these items off and in their lockers.
MAP testing will be the week of May 2-6.
