Welcome to the Natha Howell Elementary website, home of the wildcat pride where our students and staff are Ready to Lead and Learn at All Times. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting our web site learning more about our school and programs. We hope that you will find this tool beneficial in reading about the many wonderful programs and opportunities for your child in preschool through grade 5th at NHES.

The administration and staff of Natha Howell Elementary School appreciate and encourage community involvement and welcome the opportunity to work together to provide a positive and nurturing learning environment for all students. We believe that a strong partnership between parents, community members, and the school is essential to maintain a safe and encouraging learning community where academic expectations are set at high standards achieving college and career readiness.

The highly qualified and dedicated staff at our campus is committed to meeting the needs of all learners. Through collegial partnerships, as well as grade level and multi-grade collaboration to include professional learning communities, staff members work together to provide differentiated instruction and monitor student progress. Student successes are celebrated every six weeks along with “Student Reading and Attendance Highlights” viewed on our wildcat news boards and reading channels along with ROAR awards.

Our current Academic programs within our curriculum include; Achieve 3000, Smarty Ants, Pearson Reading Street, Units of Study with Lucy Calkins, Origo math programs, Stemscopes Science programs, and research-based literacy intervention programs. In addition, our counseling curriculum supports character building and INOK district initiatives aligned with our campus R.O.A.R mission (Respect, Ownership, Attitude and Responsibility). 

As we work together to achieve campus goals we would like to express the deepest gratitude to every NHES and Riverside community member along with our Parent and Teachers Organizations volunteers. It is because of everyone’s dedication we move forward to seeing that every child reaches their potential.
