It has long been a tradition at Forest Glen to have the 4th grade students perform a Spring Concert to demonstrate their developing recorder technique and to experience a final celebration of their musical accomplishments throughout elementary school..

The Spring Concerts this year will be taking place during the school day on Tuesday, May 14th and Wednesday, May 15th (class schedule below). Performances will be held at Forest Glen Elementary in Pod C at the times listed below. Performances should last no longer than 30 mins, and there will be a bit of time after the performance to meet and talk to your students afterwards.

The concerts will be held at the following days and times:

Daniels, Shipley, Solper - Tuesday, May 14th, 9:00 am

Kentop, Zavernik - Wednesday, May 15th, 9:00 am

Order forms were sent home with your student. If you would like to place an order, forms along with payment will be due May 3rd. Click here for the order form!

Getting Ready For Lineville Intermediate School – (Grade 5 and new Intermediate school students) 8:30-12 noon each session. Please sign up for only 1 session - August 20th OR August 21st.

Where will my locker be located? How do I work a combination lock? What classes will I be taking? Will I be able to find my classes without getting lost? Activities will include tours of the intermediate school, practicing locker combinations, learning about the intermediate school structure and schedule. Students will be able to meet most of the 5th grade staff so there will be a familiar face and smile on the first day of school.

At 11 o’clock, adults will join students for a Passport Experience giving the students more time to practice getting around and show off what they have learned! This time will also be an alternative “Open House” time allowing for parent(s) to meet teachers and everyone to set up their lockers! Using this time eliminates the need to come during the hectic district Open House night. Students will get a head start and feel much more comfortable transitioning to the Intermediate School by taking this class. Students should enroll in only 1 session.

To update the primary mailing name, mother/father/guardian info, contact phone number, address, and emergency contact info, please complete the following steps:

2. Once in the portal, choose the appropriate student (changes will need to be done for each child listed in the account).

3. Select Year-Round Update on the left side under navigation.

(This will take a couple seconds to populate the information that is currently in PowerSchool.)

4. Once the student information is populated, you are free to change the appropriate information such as primary mailing name, contact #, address, mother/father/guardian information, and emergency contact information. Be sure to click submit.

If your child has changed school buildings, you wish to volunteer at more schools, or you need to remove yourself from a school, please update your volunteer status. Log in at www.myvolunteerpage.com to ensure that your profile is accurate and to find new volunteering opportunities!

Have you updated your child's information in InfoSnap through PowerSchool? If not, please do so promptly. Here's a link to get you started: https://powerschool.hssd.k12.wi.us/public/. Call the school office if you have any questions at 662-7958.

If you have not yet remitted payment for your child's annual fees, you may do so online using the Student Quick Pay feature on the district's website. You may pay fees for all of your children who attend the Howard-Suamico School District. You will need to know your child's Student I.D. number. Student IDs were listed on your child's placement email. If you prefer to pay by cash or check, you can remit payment to school with your child. The 2018-2019 school fees are as follows: Grades K-4: $20.00 Textbook Rental Fee. An additional $35.00 Technology Insurance Fee applies only to 3rd and 4th grade.

If your child will be absent due to an appointment, it is recommended that you attain an excuse from your provider for the date and time of the visit and return the excuse to the school office. This will ensure that the absence is noted as an excused absence or tardy. Appointment cards will NOT be accepted as an excuse.

• To report an absence, please call the school's attendance line at 662-7990.
  

• Monitor your child’s tardies and absences through the district website: http://powerschool.hssd.k12.wi.us/public/

New Board of Education Members

On April 2, 2019, Scott Jandrin and Jason Potts became the newest elected members of the Howard Suamico Board of Education.

The decision to run for a seat on the Board of Education reflects a commitment to public service and dedication to democracy. A choice to serve in this manner is particularly significant because locally elected officials are closer to the individuals they represent than other policymakers. Public schools carry out one of society’s most important tasks - educating students to become productive, responsible, civic-minded adults who prosper and serve.

As a school board member, one must balance the interests and values of children, parents, teachers, administrators, taxpayers, business leaders, and retirees among others in our school district. Performed with sincerity and thought, service on a school board is a vital public service.

The mission of the Howard-Suamico School District Board of Education is “to enact policies and allocate resources to develop all students’ full academic potential and to promote their social and emotional growth.” Therefore, it is desirable that our board of education consists of members who:

• Are visionary and able to create alternate futures

• Are conceptual thinkers

• Grasp the big picture

• Are connected to District ownership

• Demonstrate moral courage

• Can work within a group setting

• Accept and use authority

• Can allow others to lead

The HSSD Board of Education appreciates outgoing school board members, Mark Ashley and Maria Lara’s dedicated service. Our school district is truly a better place because of their investment of time and talents.

For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District, please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org or for additional information regarding this article, contact your school board member located in this article.
