Howard Elementary is hiring!
Looking for a little extra spending cash working part-time hours? Howard is looking for a Lunchroom/Playground Supervisor. The position is daily during school days, 11 am-1:30 pm.

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. DASH FOR CASH!
Mrs. Voight from fourth grade will be representing Howard again this year in the annual Dash for Cash event promoted by the Gamblers. She will be dashing on Saturday, January, 19th at the end of the first period. Adult tickets are $14. Youth tickets are $9. $3 from each ticket sale is donated back to Howard Elementary. It’s an inexpensive dinner night as well. Hot dogs and sodas for only $2 each. Flyers were sent home last week in the family folder and there are extra copies of the flyers in the office if you’re interested in purchasing tickets. Would you like to see what is happening in the music room? Search for Howard Music Room on Facebook for pictures and videos. Also, you can check out @lueckmusic on Twitter for highlights from Mrs. Lueck’s music students.

From your School Board
[email protected] New Year, A Closer look into the HSSD 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! Please update your volunteer page
If your child has changed school buildings, you wish to volunteer at more schools, or you need to remove yourself from a school please update your volunteer status. Log in at www.myvolunteerpage.com to ensure your profile is accurate and find new volunteering opportunities. Do you need to update any information on Powerschool?
Parents can update information year-round by following these instructions:
