A huge, huge, thank you goes out to our Howard Family. This year we were able to raise $1298.15 for Multiple Sclerosis in our Penny Drop. It is truly the little things in life that make the GREATEST difference!!! What a beautiful way to make a difference and give back to our community. CORRECTION TO THE GETTING READY FOR LINEVILLE SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS:
Getting Ready For Lineville Intermediate School – (Grade 5 and new Intermediate school students) 8:30-12 noon each session. Please sign up for only 1 session. August 20th OR August 21st. Where will my locker be located? How do I work a combination lock? What classes will I be taking? Will I be able to find my classes without getting lost? Activities will include tours of the intermediate school, practicing locker combinations, learning about the intermediate school structure and schedule. Students will be able to meet most of the 5th grade staff so there is a familiar face and smile on the first day of school. At 11 o’clock, adults will join students for a Passport experience giving the students more time to practice getting around and show off what they have learned! This time will also be an alternative “Open House” time allowing for parent(s) to meet teachers and everyone to set up their lockers! Using this time eliminates the need to come during the hectic district Open House night. Students will get a head start and feel much more comfortable transitioning to the Intermediate School by taking this class. (Students should enroll in only 1 session). 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. |
MAPS Testing for 2nd - 4th grade will take place in May. Here are some test taking tips:
*Eat a good breakfast! *Get at least 9 hours of sleep. *Use positive encouragement for your child to do the best they can.

Student Council will be sponsoring an ABC Countdown for the last 26 days of school. Each of the last 26 days of school will be represented by a letter of the alphabet and a corresponding activity. Some days will require participation from home. Others will merely require attendance. The bolded dates are the ones that require home participation. We hope you enjoy this celebration of a great school year. Click HERE to see the calendar of the last 26 days of school activities.

From your School Board
[email protected] New Board of Education Members On April 2, 2019, Scott Jandrin and Jason Potts became the newest elected members of the Howard Suamico Board of Education. The decision to run for a seat on the Board of Education reflects a commitment to public service and dedication to democracy. A choice to serve in this manner is particularly significant because locally elected officials are closer to the individuals they represent than other policymakers. Public schools carry out one of society’s most important tasks - educating students to become productive, responsible, civic-minded adults who prosper and serve. As a school board member, one must balance the interests and values of children, parents, teachers, administrators, taxpayers, business leaders, and retirees among others in our school district. Performed with sincerity and thought, service on a school board is a vital public service. 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.” Therefore, it is desirable that our board of education consists of members who:
The HSSD Board of Education appreciates outgoing school board members, Mark Ashley and Maria Lara’s dedicated service. Our school district is truly a better place because of their investment of time and talents.
