Bulldog Families,
It's that time of year! We are seeing an increase in illnesses/infections such as strep throat, cold, flu, & gastrointestinal symptoms. Along with these we have had reports of a few cases of COVID, & common childhood viruses such as hand foot & mouth & pinkeye.
Please teach and encourage your child to help prevent spreading illnesses by...
*Frequent handwashing with soap & water, and backup use of hand sanitizer.
*Disinfect frequently used items(backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles.)
*Teach children not to share personal items.
*Keep sick children home until symptoms improve.
As a reminder please read the attached HOWE ISD Health Policies. If you have concerns regarding your students health, please speak to a campus nurse.
Thank you,
Howe ISD Nurses

Dear Howe ISD Families,
We want to make you aware of an update to student meal prices for the 2026–2027 school year.
The Howe ISD Board of Trustees recently approved updated breakfast and lunch prices based on the recommended reimbursable rates provided by the Texas Department of Agriculture. In nearly all meal categories, the district selected the lowest allowable recommended rate in an effort to keep costs as affordable as possible for our families.
We recognize that families are seeing increased costs in many areas right now, from groceries and utilities to everyday household expenses. We understand that even a small increase can make a difference in a family’s budget, and this was an important consideration as meal prices were reviewed.
Howe ISD remains committed to providing students with nutritious, quality meals while being responsible stewards of district resources and working to keep costs to families as reasonable as possible.
We appreciate your understanding and your continued support of Howe ISD.
Sincerely,
Howe Independent School District
