At the March 16 meeting of the Niles Community Schools Board, Howard‑Ellis Elementary staff presented a slideshow summarizing school initiatives and results, highlighting student‑led PBIS teams, expanded STEM enrichment, recent Science Olympiad achievements and collaborative yearbook work.
The presentation concluded with a data‑driven retrospective titled “5 Years of Intervention: From Then to Now,” which the school said showed improvements in student outcomes tied to sustained intervention strategies.
