End of Year Assessments
As you plan ahead for your family calendar, please take note of when students will be taking the district and state assessments next month.
Consider scheduling trips or appointments outside the assessment schedule shown below.
We want to make sure all students have the best environment to really show what they know and how they have grown academically over the school year.
We have found that students perform best when they are assessed at the same time as their peers and for many, in the same classroom.
Thank you for partnering with us to make this assessment season successful!

Your Howbert Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has evolved from a PTA, which has been active since the 1980s and hosts many of the fun events that Howbert offers! We also facilitate the fundraising efforts for the school. With these we have provided such opportunities as:
-Family Game (BINGO) Nights
-Field Trips Supplies
-Tables & Shade Structures for outdoor classroom spaces
So much more! We are a relaxed organization that gladly welcomes all Howbert community members to join us for meetings, events, and volunteer opportunities. We highly encourage all parents and guardians to get involved at Howbert--it is so rewarding for your students and for YOU!

Lunches will be provided for free to all students this year. Each student can choose to bring their own lunch or get one from the school. The lunch menu is located here:

Click "View Your School's Menu"
Find and click Howbert on the "School" Drop-Down
On the right-hand side of the screen on the "Menu Plan" drop-down, select 25/26 Elementary Sunbutter Lunch (this just means that we are a school that doesn't serve peanut butter).
