Hines Herald

Mission: At Hines Elementary, it is our unwavering commitment to establish a safe and inclusive learning environment. Our students will feel loved, supported, and find joy in learning. ❤️

Vision: At Hines Elementary, we are committed to cultivating a vibrant and dynamic learning environment that ignites curiosity, fosters creativity, and celebrates student achievements. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for critical thinking that are essential for academic success and positive character growth. Through collaboration with families and the wider community, we strive to empower our students to reach their full potential and become responsible, compassionate, and engaged citizens.

This morning, we kicked off our Spring Watch D.O.G.S. sign-up with a donut breakfast. Thank you to our Cheer Squad for sharing a special cheer, and to all of our father figures who joined us to sign up to be a Watch D.O.G. on our campus!

I also wanted to make sure everyone received the message from the district today regarding school on Monday:

"Out of an abundance of caution due to forecasted weather conditions this weekend, all Conroe ISD campuses and offices will be closed on Monday, January 26, 2026.

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!

As we move into the middle of the school year, here are a few reminders regarding transportation changes:

If you need to change your child’s transportation from their typical way home for one day only, please notify the school before 2:00 p.m. by submitting a transportation change through the Transportation Change App in your Parent Portal (how to instructions below).

For permanent changes or changes lasting multiple days, please continue to email contacthines@conroeisd.net. You may copy your child’s teacher; however, teachers are not always able to check email prior to dismissal, so be sure to include contacthines@conroeisd.net to ensure the change is received.

Transportation change emails should include the following:

• Child’s first and last name

• Teacher and grade

• How your child will go home (including specific biker/walker location, if applicable)

• Duration of the change (one day, multiple days, or permanent)

• The email must be sent from the guardian email address on file, or a photo of your ID must be included
  
  

The front office will email you to confirm once the transportation change has been received, either through the app or by email. Thank you for your help in keeping dismissal safe and organized.

As part of Kindness Week, we will be hosting a Family Service Night on February 10th. Let's come together as Husky families to provide lunches for hungry children in the Houston area.
