Knight Notes
Weekly Staff Newsletter for Francis Howell North High School
HAPPY MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2018!
Spring is supposed to be here. However, the recent temperatures suggests otherwise. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed your weekend.
As we progress through the remainder of this year, let us continue to make sure that we are out in the hallways doing supervision.
I hope you have a great week!

ATTENDANCE
BEHAVIOR
In an effort to improve overall behavior throughout our building, we will be developing an expectation matrix for various locations. This will clarify expectations in a more consistent manner using more consistent language and will be visually posted around campus. In the coming weeks, we will be seeking feedback and input from staff, examining what values/qualities we want to see as well as determining what locations should be prioritized based on data and other information. Our goal is to have something in place for the beginning of next school year. See the included picture of what one area high school has used in the past.
If you would like to help with this process, please attend the upcoming Behavior Team meeting, which will be on 4/10 at 2:30 in Room 5. We will be analyzing the initial feedback from last week’s faculty meeting and begin drafting a matrix.
CLIMATE
Did you know that there are student climate groups at FHN who are hard at work on many projects? Student Summit attendees are excited to plan the Lunch and Learn for you on April 5th. This picture is of 2 of our Students for FHN leaders on a conference call with students and admin from all three high schools working together to create a PSA to address student climate. We have great kids at FHN!
