The PTSA Needs Your Help
Submitted by PTSA President Amy Mory

Hello Hough Families,
 
We need you all to fill out the below survey.  It is necessary for us to achieve our goals.  Please take 5 minutes of your time to do this.  The due date has been extended.  Please fill this out by Tuesday, May 31st.  Thank you!
 
The PTSA has applied to become a School of Excellence.  In the fall, we asked you to fill out a short survey.  Now we are asking again.  We need everyone to help out - those that filled it out in the fall as well as those that didn't.
 
The National PTA School of Excellence program is designed to support our school and PTSA as we strengthen family-school partnerships that enrich students' educational experiences and overall well-being.  In order for Hough to become a PTSA School of Excellence we must gather feedback.  Please go to the link below and fill out the short survey.  This will help to generate specific recommendations for improving our family-school partnership and achieve excellence!

Hough Howler Submissions
Next Deadline:  Wednesday, June 1 Noon
 
***Please read this information in its entirety
if you submit articles to the Howler.  Thank you!!!***
 Deadlines and Requirements for Articles This Year 
 
The Hough Howler is the electronic newsletter compiled by the Hough PTSA that communicates the most current Hough High School News and and information.  We encourage all Hough staff members, booster clubs and Hough student clubs to provide us information to publicize to the over 2600 Howler e-mail subscribers in the Hough community.  Articles must be specific to Hough, Hough PTSA, Husky Athletic Club, other Hough booster clubs/student clubs or organizations or CMS specific/principal approved. 
 
Deadlines:  During the school year, there are two deadlines a month for articles - the 1st and 15th of each month at NOON.  During the summer months, the Howler has less frequent deadlines.  Please pay attention to these deadlines as sometimes that date is on a weekend or during a holiday.  If there is something urgent that needs to go out, the Howler will be distributed on a more frequent basis at the Editor's discretion. The Howler may be distributed within a few days past the deadline, so please submit your articles on time, or even better, early!  It is best to publicize events with dates that take place at least a week past the deadline.  Sometimes, that means advanced planning and article submission at least one Howler prior. Thank you for your cooperation.
 
Requirements for submssions:  Articles should be typed in Arial 11 font; if you want a picture included, please indicate placement within text and submit a separate jpg file.  If you want to link to a document or flyer, please send fllyer or document as a pdf file.  If you want it as an image in the article, please send as a jpg file.  If including a picture, please indicate names of those in picture (left to right.) (unless it is a huge group) and identify who is providing the picture.  If no identification is provided, we will identify the name of person providing the submission.  If submission is sent by a student or parent for a Hough club/organization, Hough staff advisor must be copied.  Editor reserves the right to edit or decline articles not meeting the abovementioned criteria.  If you have questions about any of these requirements for submission, please contact the Editor prior to the deadline.  Thank you for your cooperation.
