Howbert Happenings

Principal Post
Welcome Back!
I hope all of you had a relaxing and family fun winter break! I spent time playing games with my family (We loved playing Throw, Throw Burrito), snowboarding, and running with friends.
I know that long breaks from the regular schedule of school and learning can be a good reset and energizing, but for some, the changes in the schedule can be a source of anxiety and stress.
The staff at Howbert are ready to support all students as they return from break so that they are successful and returning to the learning setting and making exceptional growth.
Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher, to the front office, or to me if there is anything that would be helpful in supporting the return to school.
