Welcome back to Emily Howland and the 2019-2020 school year.  

I hope that the summer was relaxing and the beginning of this academic year is met with a fresh and renewed outlook.  I would like to welcome students and parents returning from last school year and especially those new to our school community.  I look forward to a very successful and enjoyable year.  

The first day of school for students in grades 1-6 is Wednesday, September 4, while the first day for pre-k and kindergarten will be on Thursday, September 5.  On September 4, there will be an orientation day for pre-k and kindergarten students beginning at 9:30 am and ending at 2:30 pm.  You may stop by school at any time between those hours to meet your teacher, put your supplies in your lockers, and meet some of the other students in your classrooms.

We’re all here to make your experience at Emily Howland both positive and rewarding.  In accordance with our mission, we strive to establish and maintain an environment that promotes confidence, pride, self-motivation, and success for all.  While recognizing diversity, we work to instill positive values, high expectations, and a life-long love of learning.  

Have a wonderful year!

Ms. Jean Amodeo
Elementary School Principal
