From Your Principal
Disabled Parking
Howbert has four designated disabled parking spots, two in front of the school and two in the staff parking lot. In order to park in these locations the vehicle must have an identifying placard visible or a distinguishing license plate.
We have families that need access to those disable parking spots. Please only use these parking spots if you have the appropriate placard or license plate and close parking is needed.
Thank you.

Volunteering @ Howbert!
The staff and students at Howbert love to have volunteers at the school supporting learning. If you would like to volunteer, please speak with the classroom teacher or contact the front office to share with us how you would like to help.
One of the first steps all volunteers must take, is to complete the Colorado Springs School District 11 Volunteer Application.
It is best to complete the application prior to visiting the school to volunteer.
Below is the link that will take you directly to the online volunteer application.
If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Jo in the front office (719-328-4211).
