CORRECTION TO THE GETTING READY FOR LINEVILLE SUMMER SCHOOL CLASS:
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 is 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).

FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD
“Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery…”
Horace Mann
Our students continue to perform academically at a high level. Whether measured against our local districts, the state of Wisconsin or other countries, our students distinguish themselves on a regular basis. One of the keys to this level of success is the support the district receives from our community. When complemented by ongoing, transparent dialogue, the Howard and Suamico communities have demonstrated consistent, heart-felt support for our students, educators and leadership.
While there are many other positives in our district, public education is not without serious ongoing, as well as newer challenges. Perhaps the most long-standing hurdle continues to be the state funding formula that creates million dollar inequities amongst similar districts only miles apart. HSSD in partnership with local legislators have made meaningful progress in solving this issue, but much work remains. From anxiety to depression, a more recent and emerging nationwide struggle is the increased prevalence of mental health challenges amongst students. As a parent and board member I’m proud of the intensive, compassionate approach HSSD demonstrates every day as they tackle this unique challenge head-on. Even amongst the constant balance of success and struggle, I share Horace Mann’s hope, via public education, for future generations.
For more information about the Howard-Suamico School District please visit our website at www.hssdschools.org or for additional information regarding this article, please reach out to your Board member Rachelle Paulsen.
