Student Council Special Days
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. |
From your School Board
[email protected] From the School Board February, 2019 HSSD Safety Update The HSSD Safety and Security Committee has used State Safety Grant money to train employees on ALICE (threat response) and Trauma Informed Care (mental wellness). The Committee will continue to engage more students, parents, and community partners to provide a safe learning environment for our students and staff. Perhaps this is the most important work the Committee is accomplishing, as everyone’s voice matters in regard to safety and security. Doing what we can to protect our students, parents, and staff is our most important responsibility. If you have questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your Board member located in this article.

Papa Murphy’s Coupon Card Update
Thank you to everyone who supported our Papa Murphy’s coupon card fundraiser! If you haven’t turned in your unsold cards or payment for any cards you’d like to keep, please make sure to send those back as soon as possible. Also, we’re happy to fill any orders still trickling in, but please be patient with us in delivering them as we wait for newly ordered cards to arrive. If you don’t receive cards ordered by last week in the Feb. 28th family folders, please shoot us a note at [email protected] and we’ll make sure you get them – there were a few orders with no student or teacher names attached. We hope you’re as excited about these deals as we are, and we want to make sure everyone gets their cards! POPCORN FRIDAYS ARE HERE!!!
Upcoming Popcorn Fridays will be held on:
If you've already sent in popcorn money for the year, your child will already be on the list to have a bag of popcorn sent to their classroom. If not and they’d like some, they can still bring $0.50 with the week of Popcorn Friday. Reminders will be sent home in family folders on Popcorn Friday weeks as always. Yum! If you’re interested in helping out with future Popcorn Fridays or learning about other HPSA volunteer opportunities, please let us know here or drop us a line at [email protected] |
