Deep in the Heart of Fulshear
Howdy Hounds!
We are ending this week with VERY full hearts! It has been such a joy welcoming our Hounds back to campus! Thank you for entrusting us with your babies.
Today was especially special, as it was our first House Pep Rally of the year! We had so much fun running through the tunnel, getting into our house groups, playing some games, and singing our school song! If your child is new to Huggins, they had a chance to draw a house color bracelet at the Pep Rally. This will be your child's assigned house throughout the course of their career at Huggins. A flyer explaining our House System went home at Meet the Teacher, but we have also attached a copy below for your reference. Remember, every other Thursday is House Day...and students are encouraged their house color.
Speaking of House Colors...Monday is the last day to order your official spirit shirt and House shirt for the 21-22 school year. Please use this link to place your final orders. Proceeds from the sales of the shirts will go to fund rewards and incentives for PBIS and our House System.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and understanding as we work through beginning of year transportation. We understand that the morning drop-off line has been frustrating for parents and also creates a challenge for us as we need to start our school day at 7:30am. We encourage all of our families to utilize bus transportation, as our buses arrive on campus before 7:30am. In an effort to assist with morning car rider line, starting Monday, we will be opening our front doors at 6:45. We encourage all of our families that utilize the car line to be in line at 7:00 to reduce interference with secondary traffic on Charger Way. Our goal is to have all students in the building by 7:30am so that we can can maximize instructional time.
Parents...we need your help! We are having an influx of parents coming to school to check their child out early...specifically at the end of the day. Please note that parents will not be permitted to check their children out of school after 2:00pm each day as we are preparing for dismissal in the office and need our clerks finalizing transportation changes. Also...please keep in mind that when you check your child out early, they are missing vital classroom instruction. Leaving early negatively impacts their learning and could affect grades on assignments that are taken during that time.
Please be sure to check out additional information below. Have a fantastic weekend!
Sincerely,
Bethany Cunningham
Principal

School Meals...
Lamar CISD has announced its participation in the Seamless Summer Option for the 2021-2022 school year, offering healthy meals every school day to all students at no cost.
Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year.
While no application or eligibility determination is required for our students to receive free meals this school year, income eligibility requirements will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.
Extra lunch entrees and a la carte items are not included with the no cost meals.
