As a reminder, our tardy bell rings at 9:20 AM. If you enter the car line at 9:20 or after, you must park your vehicle and walk your student to the main office entrance, and sign them in on the computer. (Note: the tarty bell at Howland Springs rings at 9:25 AM) Additionally, please utilize the entire space between both unloading signs to let your student(s) out of your vehicle. If you are waiting to let your student(s) out at the end of the line (closer to the door), you are holding up the car line and creating a dangerous situation where cars and students are in various stages of driving and walking. Please adhere to these protocols for the safety of our students. Lastly, at dismissal time, please do not go around the chain or enter the parking lot to line up until after 3:10 PM or when the chain is removed. Dismissal does not begin until approximately 3:35 PM. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe! Kind regards, Mr. Roth

Dear Parents, As the weather changes, please make sure your child wears a weather-appropriate coat to school, as we will be going outside for recess most days.

With help from Mrs. Rae, classroom teachers, and our local Home Depot employees, three of our Howland Glen second-grade classrooms participated in a hands-on workshop! Mrs. Rae is our librarian and makerspace facilitator here at Howland Glen. Makerspace takes place in our library on the opposite weeks of library time. Our makerspace encourages hands-on learning through creative projects, games, challenges, or team-building activities! This week, students were able to construct and decorate a wooden toolbox! They also got to take home their very own Home Depot apron for future projects! All second-grade classes will get to participate in this workshop, as future workshop dates are being planned!
