5 ESSENTIALS PARENT SURVEY
Thank you to those that have already taken the 5 Essentials Survey!
We are currently at 28% completion rate.
If you have not yet taken it, please consider completing it. The feedback you provide really helps us figure out what we are doing well, and what we need to do to improve Howbert Elementary to benefit all students and families.
Please take some time to complete the 5 Essential Parent Survey
Inclement Weather and Remote Learning
This school year, in the event of inclement weather, we will provide remote learning.
You will receive guidelines and a schedule for Howbert Elementary's remote learning in the event of inclement weather.
The Howbert staff is finalizing all the details so that we are prepared to support remote learning for students.
Be on the look-out for an e-mail this week about remote learning. The guidelines and the schedule will also be posted on the Howbert Elementary website.
School Crossing Safety
To ensure the safety of students and staff on 31st Street, it is important that everyone follows driving rules in the school zone.
Recently we have had vehicles cross the safe line a crossing guard establishes in the crosswalk. When a crossing guard is in the street with his/her stop sign, all traffic must stop before that established stop line.
This includes vehicles that are crossing into the bike lane to get to the drop-off lane.
Please follow this rule to ensure everyone's safety.
Veteran's Day Celebration
We will be celebrating our veterans on Friday, November 11th (8:15-9:15)
The celebration will include a breakfast for veterans of our families and a student video that will be posted on the school website and social media.
Your child may have brought home an invitation(s) to give to a veteran in your family to invite him/her to come into Howbert for the breakfast and celebration. If you need an invitation to invite a veteran, please contact the front office.

Random Acts of Kindness
Inclusiveness is including others, inviting them in, and welcoming them with open arms.
This week the goal is to look beyond our home and care for our community. How we treat and interact with our community as a family says a great deal about how much we care. This week our project focuses on personally interacting with our immediate community (neighborhood, town, etc.) through caring acts. See the PDF for the Home-Community project.
Free Social Emotional Learning Resource
The Emotional ABCs website is offering a free month of social-emotional lessons for families. The Emotional ABCs is a skills-based social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum for children ages 4-11 which teaches foundational emotional skills. See below for the link.
