The Brown County Health Department Coming to Howard Elementary to Provide Hearing Screenings
The Hearing Screening will occur on Monday, November 7, 2016. All 4K (located only within schools that have other designated grades already being screened), 5K and 1st graders, any new students to the district, and any students requested by teachers or parents/guardians will be tested. If your child does not pass the initial hearing screening, a rescreen will be performed in four to six weeks to determine if there is a persistent hearing problem. If they still do not pass, a letter will be sent home indicating the importance of following up with a physician and/or audiologist. The screening is not a substitute for a regular examination by your physician but is meant to identify persistent hearing loss in children and bring it to the attention of parents/guardians and teachers. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you DO NOT want your child screened for hearing and/or vision YOU MUST contact your child’s school at least one week prior to the screening date to have your child removed from the screening list. |

American Education Week
American Education Week—November 14-18, 2016. This week presents all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education.
As we celebrate education in Howard-Suamico, your actions and attitudes are proof positive that education is a powerful force. A student’s world is changed through learning. It is not limited, however, to a few subjects or simply “knowing” material. It transcends a grade on a paper, an answer on a quiz or a letter on a report card. When knowledge influences a student to think deeply about whom they are - and their personal responsibility as part of a larger community - we all benefit. When education does this, it becomes a catalyst for positive transformation.
The world is changed through people who understand life and contribute their knowledge to making it a better place. On behalf of the 6,100 students, and their families, the Howard-Suamico School District thanks you. Join us in celebrating the people who are committed to providing a great educational experience for every child!
