A Note from Mrs. Mathe
Today we hosted our first AttenDANCE of the school year, and it was an absolute blast! We loved dancing and celebrating with our Huskies (my knees can definitely attest to it!). My favorite moment of the day was teaching everyone the Chicken Dance—a childhood favorite of mine! This fun event kicks off our quarterly celebrations recognizing students who are at school every day and on time.
We understand that children may become ill, and we want them to stay home when they’re not feeling well. However, on those mornings when it’s just a little tough to get up or there’s some pushback about coming to school, we hope this celebration serves as a great reminder and motivation to be here each day!
MAP Growth Assessment Family Reports
MAP Growth Assessment Family Reports have been uploaded to the Conroe ISD Home Access Center (HAC). The MAP Growth Family Report summarizes how your student is performing academically, as measured by the most recent MAP Growth test taken. To access the MAP Growth Family Report in HAC, navigate to the District Applications tab and click on "MAP Testing Reports". To learn more about the MAP Growth test, you can view the What is MAP Growth Video for Families

Student Spotlight
We are excited to introduce a new section in The Hines Herald called Student Spotlight! This feature will celebrate the amazing achievements, acts of kindness, and positive contributions of our Huskies both inside and outside of school. In this section, we will highlight students who have gone above and beyond—whether it’s reaching a personal goal, helping others, or making a difference in the community. We can’t wait to share these inspiring stories and honor the incredible ways our students shine!
Esme Szovan
Meet Esme! She is a talented young Lego builder and enthusiast! Esme’s love for building began three years ago with Duplo blocks, and she’s now creating impressive structures — from detailed buildings to intricate vehicles — using sets with nearly a thousand pieces all on her own!
At just six years old, Esme’s dedication to her craft shows incredible patience, creativity, and logical thinking. Each new build not only strengthens her problem-solving skills but also boosts her confidence as she brings her imaginative designs to life.
We’re so proud of Esme for turning her passion into a fun and meaningful way to learn and grow! Keep building, Esme — the possibilities are endless!

Family Assistance
Throughout the school year, our school receives donations and access to various community resources intended to help our families thrive. This support can often include essential items, school supplies, cold-weather gear, or other assistance.
We want to make sure these resources reach the families who could use them most. If you feel your family would benefit from being included in this confidential outreach, please send an email to jtaylor4@conroeisd.net or rjtaylor@conroeisd.net. We will connect with you privately as opportunities arise.
Is your child missing a jacket, cup, lunchbox, etc.? Email hineslostandfound@gmail.com to see if your missing items are in the lost and found.
Please include first and last name when requesting an item to be looked for!
