Miss.Gwyin's class has done a great job working on our community agreements, classroom expectations and being great Collaborators which is our core skill of the month. We celebrated with an ice cream party today as we filled up our smiley face jar.

Howe Families:

We have officially arrived at the last day of school. So a few friendly reminders:

- Students will be dismissed at 11:35 am.
- We will not be calling students down prior to 11am to provide them and classroom teachers ample time to collect their things from the school year and clear out their desks and lockers.
- For families who utilize Metro Kids Care, they will still be in session following the end of the school day.

If you have any questions, please contain the main office.

Howe Families,

It is with great sadness that I must announce to you all that this will be my last year at Howe. Over these four years, it has truly been an honor and a privilege to serve you, your students and the staff at this amazing place. As I reminisce on the moments that I have been able to share with you personally or with your student, I am truly filled with joy as each of these moments have led to where I am going next. From speaking with you on the phone and bombarding you with emails and social media posts to seeing the beautiful transformation that has happened year after year as your student blossoms into the person that they are meant to be, I have truly been fortunate, and I am so grateful.

I did not know what to expect when I joined the Howe team but what I have gained will remain with me for a lifetime. With that being said, thank you for being a part of my journey and thank you to your student for being a huge reason for my decision to become an educator! This upcoming Fall, I will begin my own journey in the classroom and as I have stated, your student has played a significant role in that. Although this moment is bittersweet, I am so glad that I was able to make these memories with you all this year (or the last few years).

Until we meet again!

Sincerely, Ms. Jones.
