Principal Message: Start with Hello Week + More Tik Tok Challenges
First, I am proud of our band, Tigerettes, cheerleaders, cross country, volleyball, and football on a fantastic outdoor pep rally this Wednesday! The weather was great and we finally had our first pep rally since February 2019.
Second, this week is Start with Hello Week, which was started in response to the Sandy Hook shooting. The purpose of the week is to promote knowing each other and acts of kindness to prevent harassment and violence towards others. See the image above for each day's activity.
AMS is looking at opening all restrooms all periods in the middle of the week, but this will require an adult walking the building checking restrooms all day long.
Below is an image of a clean version of the Tik Tok challenges by month. There is a more explicit version. Please speak with your child about not being negatively influenced by social media or the mischievous encouragement of their peers. The next challenge -- which is actually "smack a staff a**" could be the removal from school -- possible DAEP -- or files charged against a student.
Finally, we will continue to provide monetary rewards to students who provide tips for vandalism that leads to the identification of the vandal & consequences assigned.

Volunteer in the Child Nutrition Department (NEW LINK!)
Humble ISD Child Nutrition Department is looking for volunteers to help serve lunch in school cafeterias for a few weeks. Please take a look at the available shifts and consider signing up for a shift (or two) today. The NEW LINK is https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4FAFAE2BA0FB6-child
If you or someone you know would be interested in applying for a job within the Child Nutrition department. Here is the link: www.applitrack.com/humbleisd/onlineapp. This is a great job for a
parent who wants to be available for their child drop-offs and pick ups at school and still earn some money at a job during the day.
If you have any questions or need any additional information about the volunteer opportunities, please do not hesitate to contact Marilyn Mann at (281) 641-8142 or (832) 276-6454 – cell.
We appreciate all you do to make Humble ISD great.

Office Depot Gives Back to AMS
G/T Referral and Testing – Grades K-12:
Any students in grades K-12 may be referred for the Gifted/Talented (G/T) program between September 1, 2021 and September 30, 2021. See Humble ISD Advanced Academics Website for more information and for the referral form to refer your child.
If you have any questions about the referral or assessment process, please contact Jennifer Turner at JTurner@humbleisd.net.
Lunch-Do Not Door Dash
Please do not order your student Door Dash, Uber Eats, or other pay-to-deliver food services. The drivers do not put the student's lunch on their designated lunch cart, nor will our office staff sign for these food deliveries. Since students will not receive their lunch from these agencies we do not allow parents to use Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. for food for lunch.
Parents can still bring food up to the school and place it on the appropriate lunch cart.
Free and Reduced Lunch 2021-2022
While no application or eligibility determination is required for a student to receive free meals this school year, it is still critical for families to apply for free and reduced meals.
This important data allows Humble ISD families to receive benefits such as discounted internet costs, reduced fees for SAT/ACT testing, help with college application fees, potential eligibility if P-EBT benefits are offered in the future, as well as maximizing important state and federal funding for individual schools.
Applications are provided online at schoolcafe.com. Families will need to set up an account and then apply for free/reduced meals. Paper applications are available at the Child Nutrition Services Department located at 1705 Wilson Road, Building D. Households must reapply annually in order to be eligible for free or reduced priced meals. A letter notifying families of the eligibility determination will be sent to both the family’s mailing address and email address. For further information, call 281-641- 8460.
