FRHS E-News
October 23, 2007
This is my sixth year at the high school and I know I take for granted
some things are general knowledge, but I also realize that six years ago
some of those same topics were a great mystery to me. That is where I
need your help. If you are new to the high school and ever read anything
in the E-news or on the school's webpage that you don't understand or
want to know more about, please don't hesitate to email and ask. If you
are wondering about something, I'm sure are others are equally curious
and it will help me to know what I need to explain in the E-news.
Thanks.

Athletic Office all day Wednesday and Thursday and until 1:00 p.m. on

11th GRADE PHYSICALS
Pennsylvania state law requires that students in grade 11
receive a physical examination. You may have this completed by your family
physician, or your child may receive a physical examination by the school
physician.
A gold physical form and a cover letter were sent home with
every 10th grade student at the end of last year. The cover letter included
a fill out portion that parents were asked to return to the Nurse's Office
by November 2007. On the form you indicate whether your child's
pediatrician has or will perform a physical exam or if you would prefer the
have the school's physician perform the physical. The school's examination
is provided free of charge.
If you have misplaced the cover letter and the physical form
they are available from the nurse. Please try to let the nurse know as soon
as possible if you intend to have the school physician perform your child's
physical.

District news.....
INPUT SOUGHT
The Franklin Regional School District
is currently reviewing the curricular programs for
Music, Health and Wellness, and Counseling Services.
We are very interested in your thoughts and opinions
about our current program offerings and any suggestions that you might have
for growth or improvement.
This invitation is extended to all
persons who have an interest in the Franklin Regional School District, i.e.,
parents, residents, or business owners.
There are multiple opportunities for
your involvement from simply sharing your opinion through completion of a
survey to serving on the Cyclical Review Committee for one of the curricular
areas. Committee membership involves a commitment to attend 5-6 meetings
over the course of two years beginning in February, reviewing the draft
Cyclical Review Report created by the teachers and providing feedback and
reviewing all new course and new materials requests before they are
submitted to the School Board. We are hoping to have 3 parents (one from
each school level) volunteer to serve on the committee for each subject
under review as well as an interested community/business member. Committee
members will be selected from the interested applicants.
Please visit
www.franklinregional.k12.pa.us
<http://www.franklinregional.k12.pa.us>
and follow the link on the left side of the page to curriculum. There you
will find links to the forms for the opinion survey and volunteer
information. Simply complete the information and click,
submit, to become an
important part of this process.

Items for sale and fundraisers...
(New or updated items' titles are
highlighted in blue)
Editor's note: I will run fundraising
announcements in the E-News about once a week. If you are
associated with a school related organization and would like
to advertise it in the E-News please send me an article to
FRHSnews@windstream.net. I have found
the simpler the format the better. Often when I copy more
complicated items the original formatting (fonts, spacing,
colors, etc) doesn't transfer well and I end up having to
retype the article. Please be sure to include a contact
person and an end date, so I know how long to run the
article.
