Dear Northwest Families, Here comes the cold weather! Please remember to send warm clothes with your student(s) each day: hats, gloves, and scarves. We go outside as long as it is not raining and the temperature is above 10 degrees with the wind chill (I typically rely on the weather.com app). Please also consider sending in extra clothes (especially pants and socks) for your child to keep in t ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, Temperatures are going to be dropping soon, but we will still be trying to give the students as much time outside as possible. When the temperatures do drop, please send your child with a jacket, hat, and pair of gloves/mittens every day - and a change of clothes if they are prone to getting wet or dirty during play. It also really helps if you label your child’s belongi ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, It was exciting to get our first real snowfall of the season! This is a friendly reminder to send your students with all their gear everyday, including snow pants. It makes for an uncomfortable afternoon if students have to sit and learn wearing cold, wet clothes! It may even be worth, if possible, to have a set of gear for home and a set for school. Ms. Morales has es ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, Every January, we have a great opportunity to recognize our Howell Public Schools Board of Education. While they deserve to be recognized throughout the entire school year, January is set aside just for them. Our Board has led us through some of the toughest school years that I have experienced in education. I would like to personally thank them for everything that the ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, I can’t believe January is almost over! Second semester is off to a great start. While the holidays are behind us, we did learn that some students were lucky enough to receive smart watches from Santa. While these items are really special and cool, please refrain from allowing them to come to school with your child. They fall under the “wireless communication device” por ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, We are always looking for ways to update and improve all areas of our educational experience! Our School Improvement Committee has made the decision to move away from our former behavior motto of “S2R” (Safe, Responsible, Respectful) to a more updated motto: SOAR. Everyday on morning announcements, the students say, “Eagles don’t just fly… we SOAR!”. This acronym captu ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, To say we are excited about our new pet is an understatement! If you haven’t heard, Northwest has a new academic and emotional support pet: Talon, our black Lab. At this time, he is kept exclusively in the office in order to get acclimated to the sights, sounds, and smells of our building. Kids are not permitted to touch or pet him until he is fully trained, which will b ... more»

Dear Northwest Families, We are one week away from a much-deserved break! I hope you enjoy some time away from school to relax and recharge.

M-STEP Shortly after Spring Break, we will be embarking on our annual M-STEP State Assessment cycle. We are required ... more»
