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

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

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
