Did You Know?

As the Board of Education continues to review the Community Task Force recommendations, we are reminded of their work and insight into our district. The Task Force members expressed surprise at several facts about the Howard Suamico School District. For example, did you know the HSSD tax levy remains at $9.19 per $1,000 of property value for the third straight year; this is well below the state average of $9.97 per $1,000 in 2016-17. This fact demonstrates the Board’s policy of fiscal accountability to the taxpayers of our district. For more information about the Community Task Force report, please view www.hssd.k12.wi.us/referendum. If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your team member located in this article.

From Your School Board

Teamwork (noun) – the combined action of a group of people, especially when effective and efficient.

At the Howard Suamico School District, teamwork is demonstrated in many different ways.  Our students participate in teamwork with athletics, music, theatre, and especially academics.  Our students work together as a group, to learn, grow, and share.  Teamwork is showing at Bay Harbor Elementary, where the students are preparing for the annual Fall Fest Fundraiser; Suamico Elementary is displaying teamwork at their Buddy Bench during recess; and Howard Elementary is showing their teamwork with Popcorn Fridays.  Our Board of Education and administrators use teamwork to drive our mission forward.  Currently, we are engaged with a Community Task Force, teaming community members with district administrators to better understand our district needs and opportunities.  The goal of the Community Task Force is to make a recommendation for the Board of Education to consider.  As we see every day in the Howard Suamico School District, with teamwork we can accomplish anything.  If you have any questions for the Board of Education, please reach out to your team member located in this article.
