On September 16, Howell Road School Parents went Back to School to take part in the school’s annual Open House. The parents had the opportunity to meet their children's teachers and learn about the many ways Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen is preparing students for the future implementing the Common Core Learning Standards curriculum.
The evening was separated into three venues. First, the teachers in grades kindergarten though third grade met their students’ parents and previewed the year ahead. This was followed by a welcome from principal, Mr. Huplosky who stressed that a strong school-parent partnership is essential to a child's success both in and out of the classroom. Mr. Huplosky also introduced the members of the special area staff to parents. Finally, it was time for the upper-grade teachers to meet their students’ parents and share their expectations for the 2014-2015 school year. Once again, this annual tradition of Open House was very successful and provided a great start to the school year.
