Howe Public Schools

5th/6th grade baseball this week has been cancelled due to Buffalo Valley request. They have a conflict with the district tournament being moved up. #HPSLions

Schedule update: JH baseball county moved to Friday due to weather. #HPSLions

State testing will start on Tuesday, April 16th for 3rd grade and then 4th through 8th grade will begin on the 18th. These tests will continue through May 2nd for some of these grades. It is very important that your child be at school during these times, otherwise they will have to make the test up before school is dismissed for the summer. Try not to stress your student out about these tests, instead be their encourager and tell them it is their opportunity to shine and show how much they have learned and grown over this school year. Please see this tip sheet to help you and your child get ready to do their best.

The 5th/6th Baseball game scheduled for today (4/10) at Fanshawe has been cancelled. #HPSLions

Dear Howe Parents/Guardians, As you're likely aware, an exciting event is on the horizon - a total solar eclipse! On Monday, April 8, the skies will showcase this stunning celestial display. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all students during this event, learning will be virtual on that day. This means no in-person classes on campus - just a day of learning and eclipse excitement from home! All virtual assignments will focus on the eclipse. Have your students check their SeeSaw (K-2nd) and Google Classrooms (3rd+) for their assignments. Thanks to the generosity of the District 9 SE OK County Health Department and the LeFlore County Health Department, every Howe student will receive a complimentary pair of solar eclipse glasses. These glasses are essential for safely viewing the eclipse, and will be sent home on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. For additional resources and educational materials related to the solar eclipse, please visit our school website at www.howeschools.org or visit our eclipse resources for students and families at https://bit.ly/lioneclipse. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Let's make the most of this extraordinary day!

Next Week's breakfast and lunch menu for the week of Apr 8 - Apr 11 is posted in the School App, and on the website at https://www.howeschools.org/dining.
