Message from Mrs. Sanchez!
Thank you to all who joined us for our Virtual Public Hearing/Open House on Thursday, September 23, 2021. As the administrative team shared, we are committed to helping ALL students succeed on or above grade level expectations. With home and school working together, we will see that Hearne is the #1 school in Alief and Texas! Please review our PowerPoint Presentation below if you missed it.
This week we are continuing with our Hispanic Heritage Month festivities. Students and staff may wear Latin/Cultural attire every Thursday during the month. Please turn in Hispanic Heritage Month doll projects to your child's homeroom teacher this week.
Below you will find each grade level's newsletter. We develop these newsletters to keep you informed. We appreciate your support by reading your child's grade level newsletter so you can receive more information pertinent to your child, celebrate our students, and outline assignments that will be graded. We should have our digital newsletters up again soon.
If you need anything, please let us know so we can support you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Johanna Sanchez

Welcome back to School Huskies- Follow these Procedures!
Our doors will open at 7:15 AM for breakfast, which is free for all students. Staff members will be stationed throughout the building to assist students as they head to breakfast or their teachers' classrooms. Our hallways are one-way hallways at this time.
- If your child will be coming by car, parents should utilize the car rider line and remain in their vehicle. Students should be able to open their own door and exit the vehicle. We will have staff stationed down the car rider line and on their path to breakfast to help as needed!
- Bus riders will be dropped on the side of the building as usual and staff will assist them as they go through the hallways.
We are asking all parents to be patient in the drop-off line as we expect the line to move more slowly than in previous years. We will not count tardies the first week of school as long as we still have cars in line. Please help us out by having your child ready to exit the car.
For our little ones, you may want to practice how to unbuckle, put on backpacks, put on their masks, and open the car door. All students will need to exit the car on the passenger side.
Please make sure your child arrives to school prepared so they can get to their classrooms quickly.
Thank you for partnering with us to make this year the best one yet!
Breakfast and Lunch
PK students will eat breakfast during their morning procedures, at 8:15AM.
Please speak with your child's teacher or call the front office for questions regarding the times.
Student Arrival Locations
Breakfast is free for all students until 7:50 AM.
Dismissal Procedures
Our school's dismissal procedures accommodate social distancing, whenever and wherever possible.
Students will be released in this order:
- Bus Riders
- Daycare
- Walkers
- Car Riders (please expect delays)
All car riders will receive a number tag for all students and siblings. This must be visible and hanging for all vehicles. If you do not have a car rider tag or skip the car rider line, this will cause delays.
Kindergarten Transportation Guidelines
Visit the Alief ISD Transportation Website: https://www.aliefisd.net/Page/6257
KINDERGARTEN RELEASE GUIDELINES
If your kindergarten student will ride a school bus home and you want him/her to be met at the bus stop by you or a guardian, the following items must take place.
- You must fill out a Kindergarten release form and specify the student must be met.
- You must return the Kindergarten release form to the school office.
- The school office will then issue a green name placard to the parent/guardian.
- The green name Placard is the Only Way a parent/guardian can receive their kindergarten child at the bus stop if you checked that you want him/her to be met at the bus stop by you or a guardian. If you did not get a green Name Placard you should contact your school immediately to get one before the first day.
- If you or your child's guardian fail to show the green Placard to the school bus driver the student WILL NOT be released at the bus stop. The student will be returned to the school where the parent/guardian will have to come and pick him/her up.
Please make sure to carefully read the entire contents of the NEW Kindergarten release form to familiarize yourself with these guidelines.
