Dear Howe Families,

In order to ensure the utmost safety for all of our students, our school community has decided to make the following changes to our arrival and dismissal procedures:

*Families with multiple children MUST go out the backdoor with the oldest student. This means Kindergarten and First graders with siblings will go in/out the back door for arrival and dismissal with their older sibling. 

*If your child is going home with a different person for a particular day, please call or email the teacher and office to let them know and verify the person that will be picking up your child.

*Students MUST give their teacher the appropriate “goodbye” signal that was designated by their teacher before leaving.

Your children are our number one priority.  These policies are set in place to protect them and to keep everyone safe.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Best Regards,

Tammy Fournier

Howe Principal
