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.

It was a busy week on campus, and an amazing one at that!

On Tuesday evening, our Campus Enrichment Committee hosted a wonderful Cultural Diversity Celebration Night. It was a special opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful cultures that come together each day at Hines. This meshing of cultures is one of the many things that makes our campus such an inclusive and welcoming place where students can learn about others and feel accepted for who they are.

On Thursday, we had the pleasure of celebrating our incredible volunteers at our “Berry Sweet” breakfast. We are so grateful for all that you do to support our campus and our students throughout the year. We truly couldn’t do it without you!

Also on Thursday, our 4th graders showcased their talents at their fine arts program. As a special way to wrap up their elementary years, families enjoyed a display of student artwork, musical performances filled with fun and meaningful songs, and an energetic Drumfit presentation highlighting their athletic skills. A big thank you to our specials team for coming together to provide such a memorable experience and for helping our students shine!

On Tuesday, April 28th, our campus will be closed to visitors as our 3rd and 4th grade students take the Math STAAR exam. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a quiet and optimal testing environment for all students.

Please note that student schedules, including lunch times, will be adjusted for the day. Lunch times are listed below for your reference:

Student Spotlight is a dedicated section in The Hines Herald that celebrates the amazing achievements, acts of kindness, talents, and positive contributions of our Huskies both inside and outside of school.

This space recognizes students who are reaching personal goals, excelling in academics, athletics, or the arts, serving others, or making a meaningful difference in our community. Our students are accomplishing incredible things, and Student Spotlight is one way we proudly share and celebrate those moments.

We encourage families to submit their child’s accomplishments so we can continue highlighting and honoring the many ways our Huskies shine. We look forward to featuring more of these inspiring stories!
