Hearne Elementary's Playbook
Week of April 16, 2018
Rest if you must, but don't you quit!
A simple poem that we all can relate to right now (yes, even admin!). The end of the school year is in sight, family. Keep pushing forward! Hold on. We got this!
Never forget:
You make a difference!
You matter!
Our students need you!
-Johanna Sanchez, Shon Brown, and Jose Serpas
Thank you, Mrs. Brown and Mr. Serpas!
There is no "I" in TEAM...Mrs. Brown and Mr. Serpas show us that every day!

Paws for Following Dismissal Expectations and Exiting the Cafeteria Line on a Level 0
Our focus for paws will be dismissal and exiting the cafeteria on a level 0 at this time.
Hopefully this schoolwide incentive will motivate our students to behave accordingly. As we know, Spring fever will be here soon, and we want to be proactive. I need staff to help promote “Paws for Pawsitive Behavior”. This is just reinforcing your classroom positive behavior incentives. Thanks for your cooperation and for all you do!!

If you have a student who has missed more than 3 days (consecutive or not), please call the parent and begin documenting your attempts to get the student to come to school each day. Keep in mind the flu season has been horrible this year. Please express your compassion to our parents and families. Ask for a doctors note to excuse the absence, if necessary.
