Tiger Tales

Hemmenway Families,

I am so excited to announce that Hemmenway Elementary has been chosen and recognized as a Leader in Me campus beginning this school year! This means that our school is dedicated to growing our students to be LEADERS in every way. This year we invite you to join us in learning 7 habits that highly effective people put into practice every day. Take the opportunity to talk with your child about the habits they are learning and how they put them in action to achieve their goals.

When families get involved at school, students notice. It sends a powerful message: “Your learning matters to me.” There are several ways to participate in your child's learning:

• Talk to your child about what they learn each day
• Come out to our evening events
• Take the Parent Orientation Course to volunteer on campus and attend field trips
• Give feedback on campus surveys
• Complete Family Connection Activities with your child (NEW this school year! - Info to come)

We hope to see you for Meet the Teacher on Thursday, August 6th from 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. This is a come and go event. Stop in and get to know your child's teacher and school village.

Partnering with you,

Principal Hammond

Make sure your student is ready to learn!

Mark your calendars for all the events planned for the 26-27 school year. We look forward to your participation on campus!

Celebrate your child’s birthday with a special posting on our School’s Marquee! For just $20, your child will receive a Fun “Happy Birthday shoutout!” The graphic on the Marquee will show for 8 seconds with the student’s first name and last initial as part of the other rotating graphics. It will post the day of their Birthday and remain in rotation for 48 hours. All funds raised go directly to our school!

Go to School Cash to purchase your student’s birthday shoutout by the Wednesday prior to their birthday at 12 noon. The SchoolCash purchase needs to be PRIOR to your child’s Birthday not the day of. We will be able to schedule birthday postings that occur over breaks and over summer when purchased in advance. This will need to be submitted the Wednesday prior to the break or prior to the last day of school. For example, by May 27, 2026, all summer birthday marquee postings should be purchased in SchoolCash. Any entries after Wednesdays at 12:00pm are not guaranteed for timely display. There will be NO REFUNDS for late submission. Go to the school website https://hemmenway.cfisd.net/ > Quick Links > SchoolCash Online the week before their birthday,(by Wednesday at 12 noon), and we’ll ensure it’s up from 6am the day of their Birthday and remains for 48 hours. Let’s make their day even more memorable! You will fill out: Name of Student and birthdate and choose the birthday background.

Please familiarize yourself with campus policies and procedures.

Dear Parents & Guardians,

A new Texas law (House Bill 1481) requires school districts to prohibit student use of all personal communication devices during the school day. Therefore, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD is updating its personal communication device policy.

The use of all personal communication devices is prohibited during the school day. Devices must be turned off and stored in the student’s personal bag or backpack at all times during the school day.

CFISD has created a Personal Communication Devices Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) to address some of the implications of this new policy.

Sincerely,
CFISD Student Services
