New Year = New Email addresses for Howard-Suamico School District Staff
Starting December 26, 2018 all HSSD email addresses will end a new extension: @hssdschools.org and our website address will also become www.hssdschools.org. During the transition, former email addresses (ending in @hssd.k12.wi.us) will work for a limited time to receive email. We will be testing the new addresses in early January to double check that emails aren’t caught up in recipients’ spam filters. Stay tuned for updates after the holidays.

Please have your child dress for the Cold Weather!
Cold weather is here, so please make sure that your child has snow pants, boots, a hat and gloves at school for recess. Waterproof gloves are best. Students will go outside for recess every day unless the outside temperature with wind chill is below zero.
Label your Child's Outerwear!
Please make sure to label your child's outerwear. As you can imagine, we have many pairs of black boots and snow pants in the building and if they are labeled, we can find the owner if they are found. Thank you!

PTO IS ON FACEBOOK and TWITTERBudget Season - From your School Board
As 2018 comes to a close, the Howard-Suamico School Board wants to thank you for your continued trust and support. As we prepare to bring in a new year, we want to make sure you are clear on the School Board’s role, our mission and ensure you have the visibility, aka transparency, you deserve. School Board Role The Board of Education acts as a whole, not as seven individuals, to ensure the success of every child through clear, concise direction to the superintendent as well as rigorous monitoring to ensure accountability. The board charges the superintendent to focus every staff member and all resources toward a single goal - student achievement. The superintendent receives direction from the board and authorizes the staff to implement practices, programs and activities that will provide the best education possible. This approach allows the Board to focus its time and energy on facilitating a successful school district. Board Mission The mission of the Howard-Suamico School District Board of Education is to enact policies and allocate resources to develop all students' full academic potential and to promote their social and emotional growth. For more information about the School District and School Board, visit www.hssd.k12.wi.us. For additional information regarding this article, contact school board member Maria Lara at [email protected]. We wish you a Happy New Year! If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your Board member located in this article. Contact: [email protected] ON LINE FORMS for your convenience... Below are links to some frequently used forms that you can print off at home, complete, and return to school if the need ever arises. MEDICATION FORMS
PLANNED ABSENCE FORM All absences from school, not related to an illness, injury or family emergency, must be requested in writing at least 48 hours in advance in order for the absence to be excused (family vacation for example). Please complete the Advance Absence Notice for this purpose and return to school. This form will be routed to the student’s teachers for approval signatures. |
