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. THE FLU: CLICK HERE for "The Flu: A Guide for Parents"

FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD:
January, 2020
Learning and Growing Together at the State Education Convention
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mendela
The State Education Convention, sponsored in part by the Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WASB), met January 21-24 in Milwaukee and provided an opportunity for school board members and other administrators from HSSD to network, learn and share important issues related to public education in Wisconsin.
With the theme of “Expanding Your Vision,” representatives heard keynote speakers and attended breakout sessions focusing on student learning, school finances, mental health, building community relationships, just to name a few. Learning from another school board or district can open new possibilities or create a reflection on our current policies for the Howard-Suamico School District.
