Costume Bash
In recognition of all the hard work the students at Forest Glen have demonstrated during the 1st quarter of school, we would like to celebrate with a costume day!
On Thursday, October 31 students and staff will be allowed to wear a costume in school for the day. This is a voluntary activity and students do NOT have to participate by wearing a costume. All costumes must be appropriate for school. Students should plan on wearing their costume to school for the day as we will not be allowing children to put on their costume at arrival. Please follow the guidelines below if you choose to allow your child to dress up.
Costume Guidelines
No full face make-up
No masks
No scary costumes
No weapons (swords, knives, guns, etc)

Please be sure to check if your child has gym class. If their costume restricts movement please send other clothes and shoes for them to change into for gym.

Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting
This year the Howard-Suamico Board of Education will hold its public Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting on September 30, 6:00 p.m. in the District Office Community Training Center, 2706 Lineville Road, Suamico. In addition, the Superintendent will present a State of the District address.
We have been asked on occasion about the purpose of these meetings which are also referred to as Meetings of the Electors. State Law requires school districts across Wisconsin to hold a Budget Hearing and Annual Meeting each year. There are legal requirements surrounding these events, but school officials have long recognized this event as an opportunity for the community and the school district to connect, to communicate, and to reach greater understanding. School administrators and board members provide focus on achievements, needs and the future of the district. Community members are presented with information about the operations of the school district, are able to ask questions, and will then vote on various motions.
On behalf of the Howard-Suamico School District, the Board of Education invites attendance and participation from district residents. Please consider joining us on Monday, September 30. Copies of the budget book will be available in the School District Office, 2706 Lineville Road, Green Bay, beginning September 20, 2019, and will be available at the meeting on September 30.
