Day in Residence—As Superintendent, I had a wonderful day at the Howard School yesterday. I visited classrooms, sat in on common planning time, talked with staff and students, interacted with the main office and counselors, and observed arrival, dismissal, and lunch. The Howard School staff does an amazing job and has wonderful students, and I really enjoyed my day! I am looking forward to spending the day at the MSHS next week and then in December spending the entire day at the Rose L MacDonald School and the Spring Street School.
