Due to the Howe Lady Lions advancing to the State Basketball Tournament, Howe Public Schools will shift to virtual learning days on Thursday and Friday, March 12-13, 2026.
This adjustment allows our students, families, and staff the opportunity to support our team at the state tournament while still maintaining instructional time through virtual learning.
Teachers will share assignments and expectations with students through their usual online platforms. All work will be designed to be completed remotely during these two days.
We appreciate the continued support of our students and activities. Good luck to our Lady Lions as they represent Howe on the state stage! Just a reminder, Spring Break is March 16-20. School will resume in session on Monday, March 23.
