Another fantastic week for our Howard Hawks!

Thank you to everyone who came out for our High School Internship Kickoff Celebration last week, as well as our 8th Grade Parent Coffee with A.O. What a great sense of community we’ve built at The Howard School and it's all because of your participation!

Reminder: There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 19, for MLK Day. Enjoy the three-day weekend!

Carpool Safety: No Passing. No Phones. Thank you.

We know mornings can be a rush and afternoons can feel just as busy. Everyone’s trying to get to work or the next stop in their day—but during carpool, safety has to come first.

No passing in carpool. Ever. Even if the line feels slow, passing a car that’s unloading or loading children—especially on the left—creates a serious safety risk. A child could step out unexpectedly, and a few saved seconds simply aren’t worth that risk.

To keep everyone safe, please:

  • Follow all posted signs and the directions of staff and security officers.
      
  • Do not use your phone while in carpool so you can remain alert.
      
  • Ensure children are properly seated and ready to exit or enter the vehicle safely.
      
  • Use only designated drop-off and pick-up zones during approved times.
      
  • Please review these rules with anyone who drops off or picks up your child.

Our Security Team will be conducting spot checks, and teachers on duty will note unsafe behavior so we can address concerns directly.

Thank you for your cooperation and for modeling patience and mindfulness for our students.

Real Skills, Real Success: How Howard School Internships Transform Learning

"What do you want to be when you grow up?

It’s a question adults ask children a lot. We’re curious about how they envision their future selves, and their answers give us ideas about what they want to explore."

Parent Education Event
PsychEd Testing:
What It Does & Doesn’t Do & How to Understand It

January 22 | 6:30pm 

This session is designed to help parents better understand neuropsychological evaluations, including how to interpret results and what they do (and do not) reveal about a child’s learning profile. We’ll also share how The Howard School uses this information to thoughtfully implement instructional support.

This event is open to the public. Feel free to invite friends and family members who may benefit from this educational experience!
