Howard Happenings

Hello Parents,

It is almost time for us to get started. Schedule pick up is this week on Tuesday. Please see the schedule below. We look forward to seeing all the excited students who are new or returning to our campus. I want to apologize again for the lack of opportunity for your student to walk the halls and follow their schedule on Tuesday. Our staff will be present throughout the building to help guide students to their classes. Two weeks ago we had a significant leak that created enough damage to require some extensive work on our campus. We are grateful for the WISD facilities team and those they have contracted with, who have moved quickly to allow us to open as scheduled this Wednesday. Half of my teachers will be getting into their classes for the first time this Monday. We appreciate your patience as we have had to pivot.

We recognize that this will be new to many of our students and we will do all we can to make it as smooth a transition as possible. We want our students to have a good experience in their middle school years. I know some of our parents are as nervous as their student. Rest assured that within a week they will be pros at navigating the building and will quickly move into that stage of just drop me off at the curb and wave. It is difficult for us as parents to watch that transformation as they grow. I know, I have been there. It will also be filled with fun times, new learning experiences, and all the things that help shape them into the young adults they will eventually become. Thank you for letting us be a part of that journey.

Schedule Pick-up Process:

1. Use the larger parking lot on the east side of the building.

2. Enter through the cafeteria doors.

3. Once you enter, your registration will be verified and then you will be directed to the next step.

4. Follow the process as directed until you receive your schedule and visit other tables available.

5. Exit the doors indicated between the main gym and the band hall.

If you have not registered or you have not uploaded your proof of residency and shot records by 1:00pm on 8/10, you will be required to show those documents before moving forward. Please take care of this before you come to help expedite the process.

Toms Coffee Truck will be available in the morning and Kona Ice will be available in the afternoon.

For registration questions please reach out to Ms. Sikes at casikes@wisd.org

For nurse questions please contact Nurse Harris at taharris@wisd.org

Thank you for all of your support. We are looking forward to a great year. Be Howard BRAVE!

Sincerely,

Michael Williams

This is just a reminder that we are a closed campus. We do not have visitors for lunches except for special events like grandfriends week. You can drop food off at the front office for them to pick up for lunch. It must be dropped off by a caregiver. We do not accept any deliveries made by door dash or similar organizations.
