Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, families will no longer need to access the FHSD Web Store (RevTrak) to load funds on their child’s lunch account. All meal payments will be made through Infinite Campus - the same portal students and families already use to view grades, schedules and bus assignments. Read the full story: bit.ly/4phR1uh

The annual Jazz Central concert was a night of great music performances and a chance for the District’s youngest musicians to play alongside alumni in a unique closing piece. A total of six bands from Saeger Middle School, Bryan Middle School, and Francis Howell Central High School performed, as well as one band made up entirely of Francis Howell School District alumni. Each band played two songs while family, community members, and FHSD staff watched in a café-style setting. The concert ended with the FHC Jazz Ensemble playing “Hey Jude” by The Beatles. As the song’s chorus began, the other five bands surrounded the gymnasium while the directors had an eye on each other to keep the bands in sync. It was a wonderful moment, demonstrating how music unites communities. 🎷🎺🎸 #OneHowell

Hackmann Road Early Childhood Center families enjoyed popsicles in the park to welcome the summer season. School staff joined in for the evening of play at Ollie’s Fun Forest in St. Peters. The kids had fun on the swings, slides, and nearby stream with water features. The recent rain meant a few of them enjoyed the mud, too! The teachers got a chance to wish their students a happy summer and squeeze in one last hug and play session. It was a fun night for all! #OneHowell
