Tiger Tales

Dear Hemmenway Families,

2025 has already been a very exciting year! It was amazing to experience snow right here in Katy! I know our kids had a blast. They had lots of fun memories to share. February is also going to be a fun-filled month. We have so many family events planned to foster the love of learning and show our love for the Hemmenway community.

Working together we'll be moving "Up, up at Hemmenway"!

Principal Hammond

We want to celebrate our students who attend school every day!

PK - 1st grade students who attend school every day earn PERFECT ATTENDANCE and participate in a class celebration.

2nd - 5th grade students who attend school every day earn PERFECT ATTENDANCE and participate in the campus Breakfast of Champions celebration.

PK - 5th grade students who are at school ON TIME (8:45am) for the FULL DAY (no early checkouts, except for doctor's appointments --Note from the doctor required. - [Not a parent written excuse note.]) will be entered into a raffle. There will be one winner in PK-1st and one winner in 2nd - 5th.

Please help us adhere to these safety guidelines. We are the models for our Tigers.

• Lunch Visitation - Parents, we are excited to have you join us for lunches with your students. Here are a few reminders to help make the process smoother.
• Only one name can occupy a "Spot" for the lunch registration. Please do NOT add two names for one spot.
• Please register using the link. Regardless of availability, parents will not be allowed to eat lunch without registration.
• We ask that our visitors are appropriately dressed to enjoy lunch with your special lunch "date".
• You can only bring food for your own student. We are not allowed to share items with other students.
• Please ensure that you are not taking pictures or videos of any other students or staff during your visit.

• ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL
• Students should NOT be dropped off on West Little York Rd. It is very dangerous for them to walk through car lines. Drivers are not expecting students to be in those areas. We don't want any of our students to get hurt.
• No one should park on school grounds (front or back parking lots) to get students from a walker door. You should be walking from the neighborhood.
• If you are arriving in a car to pick up your student(s), please remain in your car and move through the car rider lines as directed by our staff. Also, don't change lanes. Students are sent out in the specific order according to the lane you are in. This helps to keep lines flowing.
• Dismissal - If you arrive after all car rider numbers have been entered, you will need to come into the front office with your car rider tag to sign your students out.

• Parent Orientations - Be sure to attend a Parent Orientation at scheduled times throughout the year to allow you to volunteer or chaperone field trips. Checkout the Year At A Glance below for our next Parent Orientation. You only need to attend one session for the year.

• Transportation Changes - If you are emailing transportation changes, please include a picture of your handwritten note along with your ID to Hemmenway@cfisd.net . Continue to check your email to ensure that you receive a reply from the campus. If you do not receive a reply, please call the campus at 281-856-9870 to share information with the receptionist. Remember, all transportation changes must be made prior to 3:00pm.

Students can bring Valentines with candy, but they must have one for every class member. The items must be store-bought and pre-packaged so the students can pass out their treats to their classmates. Students are not required to bring or purchase any items. Participation is optional.

You can register to visit your child for lunch on Tuesdays or Fridays. Use the registration link BELOW to sign-up to make the process smooth when you come to enjoy lunch with your student. There are 14 spots per grade level per lunch visitation day. You can sit on the stage with your child. You will be able to register up to 2 visitors per student for no more than 2 lunch visits per month. This ensures more parents have this opportunity with their students.

NO LUNCH VISITATION ON FEB. 4th & 11th (Update: 2/11 is a benchmark day.) DUE TO BENCHMARK TESTING OR FEB. 28TH DUE TO WESTERN DANCE DAY.
