One basket per grade level will be given away.

Thank You! Our annual spring parent night was a HUGE success! Thank you so much for making it a priority to be here with us and to allow your students to share with you what they do here at school everyday. We had over 360 of our families here with us that night and all students and parents walked away with a spring reading challenge. | 2018-2019 HISD Calendar The 2018-2019 Calendar has been approved by the Board of Trustees.
