Hawk News 4/4/2025

This week, Hendrickson received the results from the School Day SAT, and we’re proud to share that the Class of 2026 did an outstanding job!

• 359 students met the College Readiness benchmark in Reading and Writing

• 213 students achieved College Readiness in Math

• Impressively, 210 students met both benchmarks, completing their College Readiness requirements before even starting senior year!

To meet these benchmarks, students need a score of at least 480 in Reading and Writing and 530 in Math. Each SAT section is scored out of 800 points, and 48 students scored over 1300 total—a truly exceptional performance.

If you're a junior and haven’t accessed your SAT scores yet, please reach out so we can help you get them.

It’s also been a big week beyond the classroom!

• Our One Act Play, Big Love has advanced to the Area Round and will perform this Thursday

• Track athletes continue to shine, with the Area Track Meet happening Wednesday

Looking ahead, we have one more full week before STAAR EOC testing begins:

• English I & II – April 15

• Biology & U.S. History – April 22

• Algebra I – April 29

Please make sure your Chromebook is in good working condition and fully charged before testing days.

Thanks for all your hard work and support—have a fantastic weekend!

The Anonymous Alerts is an anti-bullying and safety app reporting system that helps combat bullying and other negative activity in schools by empowering students to speak up. Social and peer pressure are some of the hardest obstacles for students to overcome. Students or parents can submit reports such as bullying, cyber bullying, depression, dating violence, drug or alcohol use, threats against the school, weapons on campus, and more.

The system allows for 1-way or 2-way anonymous encrypted communications between the submitters (students, parents, or community members) and District administration and/or school staff. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.

Dear families,

We’re going to Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary in Summer 2026, and you’re invited!

We’re excited to tell you more about the trip we’re planning with EF Tours, our educational travel partner. Please be sure to register for this info session to be considered for this opportunity: https://rsvp.eftours.com/cs2rcrf

When students travel, they expand their knowledge of the world around them, discover more about themselves, and grow more confident. These skills are critical for creating the global citizens of tomorrow, and we would love to have your student join us on this adventure.

In this info session, we’ll talk about:

• How this opportunity will benefit your student
• What we’ll see and do on our trip
• Everything that’s included in this experience
• How your child can earn academic credit
• How we’re keeping this safe and affordable
• How to enroll on this trip (before it fills up!) during EF’s risk-free enrollment period

There are limited spots on this trip, so we would love to have you attend this meeting to learn more about this exciting opportunity!

Thanks,

Carmen Tydings

Please note this is a non-school sponsored trip.

We are changing photo companies for senior portraits and underclassmen pictures next year to Photo Texas. This change will include on campus senior portraits during the school day next fall. If you want to schedule an appointment at the studio, you can. Information will be coming soon about that. Our former company, Cady, has been sending out info about scheduling senior portraits. You do not need to schedule with them unless you want to use them for personal portraits. Sorry for any confusion on that.

The College Fair will have 200+ Institutions that do not regularly visit PFISD schools or our Fall College Fair. Mr. Howell (College & Career Advisor) strongly encourages anyone looking to attend a 2 or 4 year institution to attend (ACC will be in attendance).
