Hello Bruce Vento families!  My name is Nenah Howard and I am very excited to be teaching your children this year!  I have been working at Bruce Vento Elementary since 2014.  I graduated from Metropolitan State University in May 2017 with a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education. I am also working towards my Masters degree at Concordia University.  I went to elementary school in Saint Paul and I currently live in Saint Paul with my daughter.  I look forward to getting to know all of my students and their families!  Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Distance Learning (DL):

For DL third graders will use Seesaw.  Every Monday morning (or the first day of the week) at 9:30am students can go on Seesaw to access their work for the week.  This includes our Google Meets, activities students will need to complete, and lessons with other teachers (science, art, gym, etc).  The students can complete the work each day as they are able, but I will be teaching via Google Meet everyday from 11-11:30am and 1:30pm-2:00pm.  It is very important for students to participate in these live lessons everyday.  Also, make sure your student charges their iPad every night! 

I know that this is a difficult time for many of us and I want to support you however I can!  I will be available during my “Office Hours” 3:30-4pm every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.  There will be a link for this on the daily Seesaw page.  During this time students and families are welcome to join and ask questions or get extra help.  This is optional and can be used as needed.
