Glen Primary School

Hello Glen Families,

Meet the Teacher Night for Howland Glen (first & second grades) will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 26th. Second graders can meet their teacher from 4:00 to 5:00 PM, and first graders can meet their teacher from 5:00 to 6:00 PM. Please gather in the gym/cafeteria before walking to your child's classroom, as I have some vital information to cover. I will introduce our teaching staff in the gym first so that you can put a face to the name. First-grade teachers will not be available before 5:00 PM in the gym.

We are looking forward to seeing all of you very soon!

Kind regards,
Travis Roth
Principal, Howland Glen Primary

Dear Families of Howland Springs Primary, Howland Glen Primary, and HC Mines Elementary,

We will once again be using “Pick Up Tags” (Rearview Mirror Tags) to help with our end-of-day student pick-up procedures.

On Thursday, August 21, 2025, we will distribute the pick-up tag kits at Howland Springs Primary School (9500 Howland Springs Rd. SE) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Simply come to Howland Springs Primary School with your photo ID to pick up your kit. You will receive two rearview mirror tags, a matching book bag tag for each of your children, and a zip tie to secure the student tag to your child’s book bag. If you have more than one child registered in Preschool to 4th Grade, all of the Family Car Tags will be distributed together. If you have tags left over from last year, please discard both the student and mirror tags as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, regardless of your child’s building, please contact us at Howland Springs Primary 330-856-8280.

Sincerely,

Carl Clark, Principal
Howland Springs Primary School

Field Day fun at Howland Glen!

Congratulations to all the May Students of the Month at Howland Glen! Keep up the great work!

Good morning, Just a reminder that students will be released one hour early today. Howland Glen students will start to be released around 2:35 PM. Thank you and have a great summer break! Mr. Roth

Due to the impending inclement weather tomorrow, our field day will be indoors. We will have two inflatable slides and it is recommended that students wear long pants, long sleeve shirt & socks to avoid any rashes from riding the slides multiple times. Socks are a must! Mr. Roth

Please take a look at our HLS Facebook page. We posted several videos of our large collection of lost & found items. Please have your student carefully select their lost item, as there are similar looking garments. All items not found by the last day of school will be donated.

Glen Parents, We have seen a surge in students bringing Pokémon cards to school to show their collections to their friends. This often leads to card trading and theft, and some of these cards have a high monetary value. Pokémon cards need to stay at home. Please speak to your student about not bringing Pokémon cards or any other personal belongings to school for trading. Thank you, Mr. Roth

Howland Glen Literacy Night 2025! (a little past due) This was a fantastic night of fun, prizes, and literacy for everyone! Thank you to our staff and volunteers for making this night a huge success!

Philadelphia Candy Distribution: Smaller orders will be sent home with your child starting tomorrow, 4/9. Larger orders: 2nd grade orders can be picked up in the school library immediately following your child's choir performance (Wed. & Thur.) All 1st-grade orders and orders for 2nd-graders who cannot attend the choir performances may be picked up on Wed. and Thur. from 4:00 to 5:15 PM. Park at the front of the building after 3:50 PM, not prior, due to bus traffic. Enter through the main doors, then head to the library. Parking spots along the front of the building are reserved for families who only stop in to pick up candy (except for handicap spaces). Thank you for making this fundraiser a sweet success! Kind regards, Mr. Roth

Second Grade Families: We look forward to seeing you this week for our second grade performances. Dress comfortably and coolly, as it will be warm on stage. Please also wear appropriate gym class shoes. Upon arrival, please proceed to the gymnasium for seating. Performers will be called backstage for warm-ups 10 minutes prior to the performance. The performance should last approximately 45 minutes. The starting time for each performance group is as follows: Wednesday, April 9th 5:30 p.m. – Mrs. Dotson and Mrs. Anderson 7:00 p.m. – Mrs. Chasser and Mrs. Murray Thursday, April 10th 5:30 p.m. – Mrs. Tekac and Mrs. Yacovone 7:00 p.m. – Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Bell Thank you, Mr. Sharek

🎉 Congratulations to our March Students of the Month at Howland Glen! 🎉 Your positive character, excellent behavior, and dedication to working hard in the classroom inspire us all. As a special reward, these outstanding students enjoyed a delicious treat—a custom ice cream sundae! 🍦 Keep up the amazing work! We are so proud of you! 🧡🖤 #HowlandGlenProud #StudentOfTheMonth #HardWorkPaysOff

Dear Parents, We kindly ask that you send a spare set of clothes with your child to keep at school. Accidents, spills, and muddy playgrounds happen, and having an extra outfit on hand helps keep students comfortable throughout the day. Additionally, if your child comes home wearing clothing borrowed from the nurse’s station, please wash and return the items as soon as possible. Our supply—especially pants—is running very low. Thank you for your support in keeping our students prepared and comfortable! Kind Regards, Mr. Roth
