Principal's Message

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”- Albert Camus

Dear Hogg Community,

It was heartwarming to reunite with our students after their Fall Break, and what a week it was! Mr. Tran, who served as our principal for a day, thoroughly enjoyed exploring our campus and engaging with our incredible Razorbacks. Remarkably, on October 19th, our 3rd to 5th graders achieved a 100% attendance rate – a fantastic achievement made possible with the support of our dedicated parents in our attendance initiative. The week culminated with our exciting Magnet Fair, and for those parents who couldn't attend, you can find information packets linked below.

Looking ahead, parents, please mark your calendars for November 4th when Explore Dallas ISD will take place at Adamson High School from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The excitement continues this week as we kick off Red Ribbon Week on Monday. Parent conferences will be held throughout the week, and we'll be sending out report cards for the first quarter. Don't forget about the Razorback Lunch Bunch on Thursday, and we'll conclude the week with our eagerly anticipated Fall Festival and the presentation of our Razorback of the Month.

Our dedicated Razorback faculty eagerly anticipates connecting with our wonderful community.

Warm regards,

Ms. Molina
