A Note From the Principal
Parents, thank you for your generosity in supporting our classroom winter celebrations. Everything we do is made better with your support. 2024 is an opportunity to keep GROWING and LEARNING together! As we start this new year, we are ready to engage our Tigers. This Spring semester we have several fun family events planned including STEM Night, KISS Night, and our school Carnival. This is also a time where our students will participate in many assessments, including our state STAAR tests for 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders and TELPAS for our emerging bilingual students and students with English as a second language. To prepare our studennts, we need your help in making sure your students are at school every day for the entire school day, if your child is not sick.
If your child is checked out early, they are missing important instruction that can be difficult to make up. There is nothing better than First Time Instruction! Our goal at Hemmenway is to have 97% full day attendance. Help us reach this goal.
If your student arrives late or leaves early, you will need to sign in/out on the Attendance Card for your child. Attendance impacts learning and can impact your child meeting the criteria for promotion to the next grade level.
Reminders

Remember, all transportation changes must be made prior to 3:00pm.
"The Future is Bright @ Hemmenway"...and we are so glad you are a part of it!

Lunch Visitor Updates
This year we will have two days for lunch visitation - Tuesdays and Fridays! We will continue to use the registration link to sign-up to make the process smooth when you come to enjoy lunch with your student. We will have enough spots to ensure you and your students can sit together on the stage. You will be able to register up to 2 visitors per student for no more than 2 lunch visits per month. This ensures more parents can share this time with their students.
