Hello, returning and new to Hines families!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer filled with laughter, relaxation, and quality time together. One of the greatest reminders I can share is that we only get a limited number of summers with our children. Take time to make memories, whether it's a big family adventure or something as simple as baking cookies, having a lemonade stand, playing at the park, or building tents and enjoying a movie night at home. Those little moments often become the memories they cherish most.

While I hope you're soaking up every minute of summer, we're also excited to welcome our Huskies back in just a little over a month! We have an amazing school year ahead, and we can't wait to see everyone. Be sure to read through this newsletter, as it contains a few important upcoming deadlines and timely reminders you won't want to miss.

I hope you enjoy this silly video below. As I sit in a quiet, empty building, I’m reminded of just how much joy, energy, and life our Huskies bring each day. Their laughter, smiles and pure joy are what make this school so special, and I miss the buzz they create!

Mrs. Mathe

See below for this year's calendar. Please note the dates of long weekends. When planning travel for your family, we encourage you to plan around days school are in session. Regular attendance is crucial for your child's success in school. Each day of learning builds on the previous one, and missing school means missing out on valuable lessons and activities. Being present daily helps students stay engaged, keeps them on track with their peers, and fosters a sense of responsibility and commitment. Let's work together to ensure your child makes the most of their educational experience by attending school every day. Thank you for your support!

As we wrap up the school year, students will be bringing their Smart Tags home with them for the summer. At the beginning of the 2026–2027 school year, all students will receive a new Smart Tag, lanyard, and plastic sleeve from the district. However, the Smart Tags currently attached to backpacks will still remain active and can be kept as a helpful “backup” in case your child loses their new one next year.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Meraz

Parents of returning CISD students-

It is time to update your returning student's registration information for the upcoming school year. Please check your inbox for an email from "PowerSchool Enrollment" and review the important reminders below:

• What you can update online: All general student and contact information.

• What requires documentation: Address changes cannot be done online. If you have moved, please email a new proof of residency to our registrar, Vianey Block (vblock@conroeisd.net).

• What to double-check: Please ensure all available phone numbers are correct and that you have listed at least one emergency contact.

• Deadlines & Snapcodes: If you do not see the enrollment email by July 25th, please reach out to Ms. Block to request your snapcode.

Thank you for completing this necessary step!

If your child is currently enrolled at Hines, you do not need to complete a new registration for next school year (for Hines, Arnold or Clark Intermediate). During the summer, you will receive a link to update your student's registration information.

If you have a child who will be new to Hines next school year—or if you know neighbors or friends who will be joining us as new Hines Huskies—the information below is for you!

Registration for the 2026–2027 school year is now open. Click here to visit the Conroe ISD enrollment site and complete your child’s registration.

Our full front office team, including our campus registrar, will return to campus full-time on July 22, 2026. However, student registration can still be completed online throughout the summer. Families are encouraged to upload all required documents during the online process, and our registrar will follow up to finalize registrations once she returns to her regular contract hours.
