Hurricane Watch

As we enter our second year, I can definitely say that we are excited and prepared to welcome all Hurricanes new and returning. We are committed to ensuring that our students receive a high-quality education that prepares them for the challenges of the future.

Hartley offer a range of academic programs and other exciting opportunities for students, including athletics, fine arts, academic clubs, and other extracurricular activities. Our goal is to provide students with a well-rounded education that focuses on academics while fostering personal growth, social development, and community involvement. We encourage parents to be involved in their child's education by participating in school events, volunteering, and communicating freely with our teachers and staff.

Let’s GO Hurricanes!

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year. I am Wanda Johnson and I am the proud principal of Hartley PK-8. I earned my bachelor's degree at Fayetteville State University in Fayetteville, NC and my master's degree here at the University of Texas at El Paso.I have been educator for 26 years 25 of the with the El Paso Independent School DIstrict. My service includes being a teacher, math instructional coach, curriculum writer, assistant principal and now 13 years as a campus principal. As a military child and spouse I recognize the uniqueness of the military community, but has lived in El Paso enough to consider myself as an El Pasoan.

My name is Veronica Silva Cervantes, and I am proud to be one of your Assistant Principals at Hartley. I am a proud graduate of Coronado High School. I have 20 years of experience in education. I have served as a Special Education teacher, General Education teacher, Instructional Specialist, IEP Facilitator, and for the past four years, I have worked as an Academics Facilitator in the Teaching and Learning department. I look forward to being part of the Hurricane Family.

I am Assistant Principal Michael Coppock. I am beginning my twenty first year working for EPISD. I spent my first ten years as an ELAR teacher at Lafarelle Alternative MS and Canyon Hills MS. The last ten plus years I have been an administrator at Guillen MS, Morehead MS, Canyon Hills MS , Ross MS and now at Hartley PK-8. I try to instill campus values of being ready, being respectful, and being responsible. I also place a priority on safety. Every student, parent, community member, and campus faculty/staff member should be welcomed and be safe.

During my "free time" I enjoy traveling all over the world. I try to visit Europe every other year with plans to visit Scotland to play golf at St. Andrews (birthplace of golf). Over the last few years, I have been traveling to National Parks and Monuments to see what America has to offer. My eventual goal is to visit all 50 states, all 30 MLB baseball stadiums, all or at least most National Parks, and travel coast to coast on a train. I have thoroughly enjoyed my life up until now and will continue to do so with family and great friends.

My name is Ana Cordero. I have been at EPISD for 20 years. I was a mathematics teacher at Coronado HS for 9 years, a math coach at Douglass Elementary for four years and an Assistant Principal for the last eight years.

I love working with Middle School students and hope to make a difference!

In my spare time, I like to read, solve puzzles and spend time with family. I’m looking forward to a great year.

Parents will be able to escort their children to class the first 3 days of school. Campus staff will be available to assist students to find their classroom. The drop off zone is the best way to expedite the drop off process. It is very helpful that you wish your child a good day in the car before you drop them off to keep a steady traffic flow. You are more than welcome to park and walk your child to the door if you prefer.

7:00 am -8:10 am

2:45 pm- 5:30 pm

Parents and students can use the El Paso ISD app for district and school news, events, lunch menus and more! Our new app features Rooms, a parent-teacher communication tool. Rooms empowers teachers with the tools needed to give families a seamless communication experience.

Rooms offers secure, two-way messaging between families and their child’s school. Teachers can send parents, guardians, and students broadcasts, announcements, and messages. And guardians can message teachers and staff.

This makes it easy for everyone to know how to get in contact with each other. Instead of using disparate channels, like text, email, Facebook, etc., families and teachers can communicate with each other through one tool. Rooms exist within your district app, which means you don’t have to download an additional app to keep up with your child’s school. You can chat with teachers (through Rooms) and access all district-wide information—from dining menus to events to announcements and more—through one app.

Start using Rooms in 3 Easy Steps!

1. Download the El Paso ISD App

2. Click Rooms

3. Sign in to Rooms with a phone number or email

Doors will be opened at 7:20 am for students.
