Due to ice and snow covering the campus, Howe Public Schools will remain virtual learning on Monday, January 13. Although the weather itself is not a concern, conditions on campus—including sidewalks, parking lots, and other surfaces—remain unsafe. Many back roads leading to the school are also icy, raising additional safety concerns for those commuting. Overnight lows in the 20s are expected to refreeze any melting snow, further worsening conditions.
We are committed to ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your understanding.
