Due to conflicts with the STAAR test, Picture Day will be Friday, April 19th. Thank you for helping provide the best testing environment possible for our students!
While the weather made eclipse viewing difficult, some HES students were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of this rare phenomenon before the clouds came! Others were able to watch online, see the darkness caused by the total eclipse, or participate in learning and crafts. Fascinating!
3rd through 5th graders are ready to take control of the STAAR tests beginning this week! They attended a STAAR pep rally on Friday and received words of encouragement from Superintendent O'Neil and the HES cheerleaders. 3rd graders brought the energy and were the winners of the coveted Spirit Stick!
5th graders enjoyed their morning celebrating growth on STAAR Interim!
After learning about different habitats, second graders researched an animal, investigated its needs and special characteristics, then created a diorama showing their animal in its habitat. HES students are #WildAboutLearning !
Fun Friday is happening tomorrow! Be sure to bring money to buy snacks from PTO!
Our top Accelerated Readers were treated to McDonald's for lunch. They earned AR points by reading books and taking tests about them online. Readers are leaders!
Happy National Assistant Principals Week to Mrs Montes, Mr Watson, and Ms Grundy!!
We appreciate your efforts and leadership! 😃
Bobcats in Action 📸: This week our Hempstead Elementary kindergartner students are learning about colonial times and the various jobs or chores people did long ago. During their lesson, they rolled up their sleeves and learned the art of butter churning. #HigherHeights
4th graders celebrated STAAR Interim growth in the sunshine today! They have been working hard to improve all year!
Kindergartners have been learning about colonial times and the many different jobs and chores that people did long ago. After learning about how to churn butter, our littlest bobcats decided to try it for themselves!
Congratulations to our March Teacher of the Month, Tabitha Collins, and Staff of the Month, Renita Robinson! Your love for HES students and determination are unmatched - we appreciate you!

HES needs your help! Students will be selling delicious, $1 World's Finest Chocolate bars in order to help fund HES activities. To help with this fundraiser, please follow these steps:
1. Sign and return the permission form for your student to take a chocolate box to sell.
2. Sell, sell, sell! Your student will receive a box of chocolate bars to sell to family, friends, etc. (Door-to-door sales are not recommended.) Cash or check are accepted, place all money received in the collection envelope included in your chocolate box.
3. Return the collection envelope to school, and take another box if you would like to continue to sell even more to support HES!
Every student who sells chocolate will be able to wear their favorite hat upon returning their collection envelope. The highest selling class will win a pizza party! The individual student who sells the most chocolate will win their own 1 lb. chocolate bar! This fundraiser will last until April 12th, when all collection envelopes are due.
Prairie View A&M Panther Educators on the Rise visited HES to read to classes and donate books to our Little Free Library. We love having guest readers, especially future teachers!
