Costco Tutoring Program
One of business partners, Costco, has selected Hearne as a recipient of their Reading Tutor program. The focus will be on phonemes, phonics, and comprehension. Volunteers will be on campus 1 hour a week for 15 weeks. We will be selecting Tier 2 students in 1st grade using iStation. You will be notified soon if your student(s) will be participating in this wonderful partnership to help us support foundational literacy.
Our program coordinator is Ms. Thomas!

Just a reminder! Students are tardy at 7:55 AM. Please encourage all your students to come to school on time every day!
Reminders for all staff--
- All staff should be at work on time every day.
- Welcome students at your doorways at 7:40 AM daily.
- Plan ahead to ensure you arrive to campus before your scheduled duty begins.
- The expectation is for all staff to use it daily to sign in and sign out.
- If the Raptor system is down, we will do a manual sign in sheet where you will record your time in and out.
- You cannot Raptor in and be at your assigned duty at the same time. Campus safety is everyone's responsibility. It takes the effort from all players for our team to succeed.
- Refrain from touching students, unless they are a danger to self or others. Call an administrator if you need support.
Our TEA School Report Card has been released!
The school report card (SRC) combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance. Available for each campus in Texas, the SRC is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance.
Your team leaders will share how our local accountability system combines with our state accountability ratings to show our community and parents the power of our strides to close the achievement gap.
