PARENT CHAPERONE

Mrs. Mozina still needs one more
parent chaperone for the Andy Warhol field trip next
Thursday, February 28th. The museum requires one chaperone
per 10 students. There are approximately 30 students scheduled to go
on the trip and currently she has only herself and one other teacher
as chaperones. As part of the trip you will be silk screening a
print that you may keep.
If you can help Mrs. Mozina
please contact her at
lmozina@franklinregional.k12.pa.us
or 724-327-5456 ext. 5134
DAYTIME OPEN
HOUSE NEXT TUESDAY
The date for Day-time Open House will be
Tuesday, February 26th. Registration
will be begin at 7:15 AM.
All parents are welcome. We will extend this
opportunity if there is a two-hour delay as well. Make day is
Wednesday, February 27th.
FYI - I wanted to include an explanation for
those of you who may be unfamiliar with the Daytime Open House
concept and format.
The
daytime open house is just what it sounds like, an opportunity to go
to classes and observe. It is an unique and wonderful opportunity
the FRHS affords its parents. As far as I know, FR is the only high
school in the area that opens its doors and invites parents to spend
time in classrooms during the school day. Attending the open house
does not mean you have to go to your child's classes. You can:
attend the same classes, but during different periods, attend
classes you may be considering for your child next year, attend a
class you find interesting, or a subject you had in school to see
how it has changed. As with the nighttime open house, it is not a
time to conference with your child's teacher.
If you are intrigued by the idea of attending
classes during the school day, please don't let your child's
protests stop you from attending. One parent told me her experience
was that for the first period or two the kids were a little
uncomfortable, but by lunch time those who had forbid their parents
from coming wished they hadn't made such a big deal out of it. At a
PTO meeting once a parent made the suggestion to ensure anonymity
and to lesson your child's sense of dread you could write only your
first name on your visitor's tag. If your child is really freaking
out don't forget you can always attend their classes during a
different time in the day from their schedule.
On the day of the open house security
personnel will direct you to designated parking. When you enter the
building, you will be asked to present a photo ID and sign-in. You
will be given a visitor's tag. The master schedule for that day will
be posted so you can easily find the classes that interest you and
maps will be available to help you find your way. In previous years
the cafeteria was open for coffee and snacks throughout the day. You
can purchase lunch from the cafeteria or you can go off campus to
eat. Please remember the FR is a smoke free campus (not just the
buildings).
I encourage you to give the daytime open house
a try. Come when you can and stay as little or as long as you like.
FR LADY PANTHERS LACROSSE
The next
Parent Meeting is Tuesday 2/26 at 7:00 PM in the HS
Library. We will review final preparations for the season including
team rules and procedures, and finalization of all volunteer
positions for the season. Please mark your calendar and plan to
attend.
