|  | |  | A Week of Connection and Conversation This past week, we were grateful to connect with so many of our parents across campus. Thank you to everyone who joined us for Parent Ed: PsychEd Testing and to our Middle School parents who gathered for a Parent Coffee at Chattahoochee Coffee. It was wonderful to spend time together and strengthen connections. We’re also excited to share that both the Lower School and Middle School Winter Conversations are off to a great start. |
| | School Closed on Monday, January 26, 2026. Due to the forecast of extreme cold temperatures and the potential for icy conditions, The Howard School will be closed tomorrow, Monday, January 26. We anticipate resuming normal school operations on Tuesday, January 27. However, if weather conditions are not safe, we will communicate any changes to Tuesday’s schedule no later than 6:00 p.m. tomorrow. We will send an email through FACTS to all families and guardians alerting them to the school closure. We will also post a notice on the School website, and share school closure on Instagram and Facebook. As always, the safety of our students, faculty, and staff is our top priority. Please stay safe and warm during this unpredictable winter weather. |
