Principal's Message

"Be thankful for everything that happens in your life; it’s all an experience."-Roy T. Bennett

Dear Razorback Community,

November has brought an abundance of excitement to Hogg Elementary. The third-grade students dazzled us with a spectacular performance, and our November Razorbacks of the Month radiated pride. The Math Committee ensured that our Math Night was brimming with interactive resources, and the Razorback Lunch Bunch treated us to a delightful turkeylicious feast.

A quick reminder for this week: Due to a 90-minute training session for testing on Monday, November 13th, teachers will not be available for tutoring from November 13th to 17th.

However, tutoring for HB4545 will still take place, and all after school clubs and activities will proceed as scheduled. Mr. Muniz will continue leading the Afterschool program from Monday to Thursday. Please note that on Friday, November 17th, there will be no afternoon programs.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Warmest Regard,

Ms. Molina
