Volunteers Still Needed for the School Store!
Dear Bay Harbor Families,
Student Leadership Council is once again having a School Store. While we will be having some of our students help at School Store this year, we are not able to run a successful school store without some help from our amazing adult volunteers. Our school store will be on the first Friday of every month (except for February because we don’t have school on the first Friday). We would like to enlist 4-5 parent volunteers to help out from 10:30 – 12:45. Students will shop before their recess and the first recess starts at 10:40. Responsibilities included in helping out are: set-up, selling and assisting students with their purchases, making change and closing-up. If you are interested in helping out, please CLICK HERE to print and complete the form and return it to school by Friday, November 30th.
Please consider supporting the Student Leadership Council by volunteering to help with the school store.
Thank you,
Mrs. Van Enkevort -Student Council Advisor

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. Please make sure to label your child's things. 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
Tax Levy – A Long Term Investment At this time of year our property tax bills begin to arrive. During the budget process each year, there are things the School Board can control, and things the Board cannot control. The Howard-Suamico School District is driven to work with families and the community to ensure that our students have the knowledge and skills to succeed in a changing world. This objective is something we can control, and our budgets are created not only for the needs of today but also for future use. There is a continuous focus on making sure that the long-term per pupil expenditure is fiscally responsible (ex., limited open enrollment, adjustments to benefits, and increasing partnerships with members of the business community). Another factor in our control is the levy rate. Since the 2011-12 school year, this rate has decreased from 9.73 to the 9.19 rate that we have maintained for 4 years. The information on our tax bills that the District does not control is the total property value within our area, as well as the increase or decrease to individual parcels of property. When the stable tax rate of 9.19 is applied to changing valuation amounts, the result changes from year to year. As taxpayers in our District, the Board of Education focuses on ensuring effective stewardship of the tax revenue we receive, not only for today but for the long term. If you have questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your Board member located in this article. 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...
