New Visitor Procedure
In order to ensure the safety of our students and staff, the District will now be utilizing the Raptor security software in all of our schools. Visitors and/or volunteers must present their drivers license or a photo id upon arrival in the office. It will be scanned by office personnel, and a badge printed with your picture along with the date and time. This badge must be visible while you are in the building during the school day. If you are dropping something off in the office, or signing your child in or out of school, you will not need to present your id. A new badge will be created each time you visit, so it is important to always have your photo id with you. PTO Meeting 2019/2020 Dates and Times:

School District and School Board Summer Highlights
This summer our learning community was energized with opportunities for children of all ages and abilities as
the District welcomed over 3,200 students enrolled in summer school classes. However, students were not the
only ones engaged in learning this summer. Below are a few highlights of District educator and School Board
activities during the last three months.
● Strategic Direction: Administration attended the School Administrator Institute for Transformational
Leadership (SAIL). This organization is designed to assist school and district leadership teams in
creating a coherent and connected plan for transforming education at the local level within a complex
environment, and in the process, instill confidence throughout the system for powerfully moving
forward;
● Professional Development: Instructional staff members expanded their horizons through coursework
and training by attending Professional Learning Communities (PLC) at Work Institute, June 24-26,
Minneapolis, MN, with a focus on learning, building a collaborative culture, and results orientation –
specific, practical, and inspiring strategies for transforming the district into a place where all students
learn at high levels;
● Innovation: A team of District leaders, principals, and teachers attended the National Council of
Supervisors of Mathematics Leadership Academy (NCSM) July 22-24 in Madison;
● Continuous Improvement: Routine maintenance, repair, landscaping, and cleaning of the community’s
eight school facilities, totaling more than 1-million square feet, keeps our sites operating safely,
efficiently and effectively throughout the school year;
● Compassion: The Howard-Suamico Education Foundation partnered with Green Bay Community
Church, businesses, employees, and other civic organizations in providing over 400 economically
disadvantaged students with backpacks and essential school supplies. Also, 280 students from 10
different states were housed at Lineville Intermediate School for one week in partnership with Group
Mission Work Camps and Trinity Lutheran Church. The students did area yard and home repair for
dozens of homes owned by the elderly, disabled veterans and economically disadvantaged neighbors;
● Leadership: Board of Education members attended the Wisconsin Association of School Board
(WASB) 2019 Summer Leadership Institute in July. The Board of Education also met to discuss and
develop its own goals for the coming school year.
The District and Board seek to use frequent and varied methods of communication to inform our community.
Please let us know how we are doing and if there are other ways you would like us to consider.
