A note from your School Board Representative
Profile of a Graduate: Communication
A recent 2018 Job Outlook Survey found that only 41% of employers ranked current students as proficient in oral/written communications which is one reason why the HSSD believes communication is a critical element in the success of our students regardless of post high school graduation plans. Communication is an important component of our District Profile of a Graduate.
For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District budget please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org, or for additional information regarding this article, contact school board member Vanessa Moran at (920) 246-3999 or vanemora@hssdschools.org.
Attention 4th grade parents!

Course descriptions and registration information will be available on March 11th, and selections must be made and the registration completed within two weeks.
