2026-27 Welcome Letter

Dear Howard School Families,

We’re excited to launch the PA for the 2026–2027 school year!

Whether you’re joining The Howard School for the very first time or returning for another year, we’re so glad you’re here. On behalf of the Howard School Parents Association (PA), welcome to our incredible community.

The Howard School is a special place—not only because of its outstanding faculty and staff, but because of the families who support one another along the way. The Parents Association exists to strengthen those connections by fostering community, celebrating our teachers and staff, and creating opportunities for families to become involved in ways that fit their schedules and interests.

Throughout the year, you’ll see the PA hosting events that bring our community together, including:

  • Staff Appreciation
  • Grandparents and Special Friends Day
  • Book Fair
  • Parent Coffee Gatherings
  • Community-building events

You’ll also see new opportunities to volunteer, whether you have a few hours to give or simply want to be part of our Helping Hands team—a flexible group of parents willing to lend a hand when needed.

Our goal this year is simple:
Community Building –
Every family has something to offer and every family belongs.

 

We can’t wait for all that this year will bring.

Warmly,

The Howard School Parents Association

Michal Liske, President; Trunshedda Ramos, Vice President; Adrienne Clark, Secretary
