Hines Herald
September 26, 2025
A Note from Mrs. Mathe
Today we held our very first Hines HERO Award Ceremony! Students were recognized for demonstrating last month’s character trait, Hard Working, as well as for being true Husky HEROs. Congratulations to all of our amazing recipients!
This week we also enjoyed one of our favorite traditions—Spirit Night at Spring Creek BBQ! Spring Creek BBQ is a dedicated supporter of local schools, and we are so grateful for their ongoing partnership. A big thank you to our wonderful teacher volunteers who served those hot, fresh rolls, and to all of our families who came out to support Hines!
Traffic Updates
Precinct 3 has begun a traffic study around our campus and, as a result, new signage will soon be installed along Lexington and Woodbridge Cove (including the dead end). These signs will prohibit cars from parking, stopping, or standing along the side of the road in these areas.
We have asked families not to drop off or pick up students along the curbs in the past, as it creates both traffic and safety concerns. Once the new signs are in place, it will officially be illegal to do so, and drivers may be subject to tickets. If you have been using these areas for arrival or dismissal, please begin making alternate arrangements now.
For the safety of all students and families, please remember:
-
There is no student drop-off or pick-up allowed in the bus ramp.
-
Students should only be dropped off and picked up in the designated car rider areas.
-
If your child is a biker or walker, they should bike or walk directly home. If they are meeting a car, they are considered a car rider and must be picked up in the car rider line.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone. Our shared goal is to ensure that every child arrives at and leaves school safely each day.

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!

Bus Rider Notifications
We encourage all parents to sign up for the SMART tag™ Parent App. This app offers real-time updates on your child’s school bus, including arrival alerts, and notifications for delays or route changes.
It's a reliable and convenient way to stay informed about your child's transportation. Download the app, register, and link their child’s student ID to start receiving updates.
