********************************************* Important Updates from Food ServiceThank you for your participation in our School Meal Programs this year. As we near the end of the school year, please carefully review the following points regarding lunch accounts. Active accounts will retain their balances. If a student leaves the district, the account is no longer active; a refund of the inactive balance must be requested from Food Service within a year. Inactive balances remaining after the following school year will be donated to the Food Service Fund. Balances may be refunded or transferred to a sibling’s account or to the Giving Tree lunch account to be used for other students as needed. Please direct account-related communications to a Food Service Cashier (see contact information below). Cashiers communicate account balances before the end of the school year. CHARGING IS NOT ALLOWED in our final weeks of school per our “Lunch Account Management and Charging Policy” found at Food Service/School Meal Prices web page. Please send a lunch or cash with your child if he/she does not have account funds available to cover purchases. The MySchoolBucks (MSB) web-based payment program WILL NOT BE ACTIVE after June 6 until mid-August. Please plan payments before or after that period. Be sure to DISABLE AUTO-PAY FUNCTION before the break if you want to minimize balances and avoid automatic payments being made toward the end of the year. Also to avoid payment conflicts upon return, please update your MSB account as needed—e.g., if your student changed location or bank card has changed/expired--and re-enable auto-pay if applicable. New free/reduced price meal applications must be submitted each year; however, current eligibility carries until OCTOBER 15 or a new determination is made for 2018-19. This carryover eligibility only applies to students receiving this benefit at the end of the 2017-18 school year. Updated forms and instructions will be mailed to households in August and also linked here http://www.hssd.k12.wi.us/#!blank/b2he1 on our Food Service web page. Please feel free to contact us with any questions/concerns about this or any other aspect of our School Meal Programs. Be sure to also check out our Snack Bag Program offered as a convenience to those participating in summer school. Thank you again for contributing to the success of our programs. Enjoy your summer!

On April 3, 2018, the communities of Howard and Suamico approved the operational referendum, placed on the ballot by the Board of Education, by a 58.6% to 41.4% margin. Thank you to residents who attended listening sessions, asked questions, and voted. Your engagement demonstrates our communities’ interest and dedication to our students, staff and schools. The results represent a vote of confidence in the vision for the school district and will allow us to address critical needs, including reducing class size, enhancing teacher compensation, and maintaining facilities.
