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 we enter into the second semester, here are just a few reminders about lunch visitors. We are happy to continue welcoming lunch visitors on campus, as we know how much our students enjoy having family members join them during lunchtime. Please remember to check in at the front office and follow our visitor guidelines (pictured below) to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. As a reminder, if someone not listed on your child’s emergency contact information plans to attend lunch, please email contacthines@conroeisd.net with the visitor’s first and last name (as it appears on their ID) so the front office knows who to expect.

Come GLOW with us on January 30th! Our 3rd and 4th grade Huskies are invited to bring 1 VIP along to dress in neon or white and party the night away. Pre-purchase wristbands and food/water tickets will only be available until January 25th.

Both student and adult VIP must purchase a wristband. A VIP can be a mother, father, grandparent, aunt, uncle, family friend, etc.

The PTO and school leadership are looking for your feedback about alteranate times for a PTO meeting to help allow others to attend that may not be able to during the school day. Please click below to complete the survey.
