Dear Community Members,

In the Francis Howell School District, we are committed to providing the best possible education for our students, and your feedback and involvement play a crucial role in achieving this goal. As part of our curriculum development and approval process, we are excited to provide our community with an opportunity to review and provide feedback on recently developed and revised curriculum documents.

Curriculum writing teams have completed revisions for three courses. We will bring these curriculum documents to the Board of Education May 11, 2026.

This month, we are presenting 6 curriculum documents for review and feedback:

Computer Science 6

Computer Science 7

Computer Science 8 

Spectra 6

Spectra 7

Spectra 8

Your participation is important to ensure that our curriculum aligns with appropriate standards, prepares our students to succeed, and is consistent with the values and expectations across the district. By working together, we can create an inclusive and comprehensive learning experience that reflects the needs of our students and community.  

To facilitate your review, we have prepared an online survey to gather feedback on the curriculum documents linked at the bottom of this email. Your responses will be considered by our curriculum writing team for final revisions. The deadline for submitting your feedback is Monday, March 16 at 3 p.m.

Please take a moment to access the survey. Please feel free to share your thoughts openly and honestly. If you prefer not to complete a survey, then you may email your feedback directly to curriculum@fhsdschools.org. You can review as many curriculum documents as you like. This feedback opportunity is limited to District patrons because you are the community we serve.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Angeline O’Neal-Hogrefe

Director of Curriculum & Assessment
