(Messaged on ParentSquare) Local tree trimmers had limbs fall on power lines on Bean Patch Loop Road. Due to the power outage, we are going to release at 1 pm & run busses. Parents will also be notified through School Messenger shortly once PowerSchool is back up (with a generator.) Just a reminder, phone lines are down. Please communicate with your child's teacher using ParentSquare as needed.
Howe Public Schools just lost power throughout the entire campus. We are reporting the outage to OG&E, and will keep you informed of any alterations to today's schedule if a change should be warranted. Just an FYI to parents, if the power remains out for an extended period of time, our phone system may be affected. Please feel free to communicate with your child's teacher through ParentSquare if needed.
