We believe all of our students are to be valued and appreciated for who they are.

We believe our students are entitled to and will receive a quality education. We believe the learning and behavioral expectations must remain both high and attainable. We believe it matters not where students live or what their experiences are...they shall be taught and will rise to high expectations. We believe all people can learn best in a caring, inviting, respectful, and disciplined environment that ensures success. We believe in teaching the whole child while working with families to achieve optimal success in the classroom and in the life. We believe that Hearne Elementary is the place where children can freely grow, develop, and become socially mature. We believe our students will Move Forward as high-performers ready to receive an education at the middle level if they will give 100% Every Day, No Excuses!

Good afternoon Hearne families. This is Principal Olinka Baker with announcements, updates, and reminders for the week of October 19, 2026.

Students will take beginning of year benchmarks this week. The schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, October 20- 3-5 Reading
Wednesday, October 21- 2-5 Math
Thursday, October 22- 2-5 Make Ups
Friday, October 23- 5th Science
Parents, it is extremely important that students are not only present each day, but we really need you to make sure they are on time. Testing will begin at 8:30 am. Students will not be able to enter the classroom once testing begins. I ask that you delay any early checkouts until after 12:00 pm as our school will be under testing conditions. Take some time to review your child’s work with them and make sure students get a good night’s rest to help prepare them for testing.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. We will celebrate Unity Day on Wednesday, October 21st. We are asking everyone to wear orange to help send a visible message of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion.

Next week, October 26-30, we will continue our stance against bullying during Red Ribbon Week Spirit Week. The different dress days are posted in Class Dojo and our page.

Report Cards will go home on Monday, October 26.

Fall Picture Day is Monday, November 2.

Parents, thank you for ensuring your child is present, on time, and prepared for school each day. Instruction begins at 8:00 am and dismissal is 3:00 pm. There is no checkout after 2:30 pm. If your student is tardy, you will need to physically come in and sign them into school. Students who are frequently tardy miss out on valuable instructional time.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. We’re looking forward to another great week in the Hornets’ Nest! Have a good evening. We’ll see you in the morning!

Buenas tardes familias de Hearne. Soy la directora Olinka Baker con anuncios, actualizaciones y recordatorios para la semana del 19 de octubre de 2026.

Los estudiantes tomarán las pruebas de referencia de inicio de año esta semana. El horario es el siguiente:
Martes, 20 de octubre - Lectura de 3.º a 5.º grado
Miércoles, 21 de octubre - Matemáticas de 2.º a 5.º grado
Jueves, 22 de octubre - Recuperaciones de 2.º a 5.º grado
Viernes, 23 de octubre - Ciencias de 5.º grado
Padres, es extremadamente importante que los estudiantes no solo estén presentes todos los días, sino que realmente necesitamos que se aseguren de que lleguen a tiempo. Las pruebas comenzarán a las 8:30 a. m. Los estudiantes no podrán entrar al salón de clases una vez que comiencen las pruebas. Les pido que retrasen cualquier salida anticipada hasta después de las 12:00 p. m. ya que nuestra escuela estará en condiciones de prueba. Tómense un tiempo para revisar el trabajo de su hijo con ellos y asegúrense de que los estudiantes descansen bien por la noche para ayudarlos a prepararse para las pruebas.

Octubre es el Mes Nacional de la Prevención del Acoso Escolar. Celebraremos el Día de la Unidad el miércoles 21 de octubre. Les pedimos a todos que vistan de naranja para ayudar a enviar un mensaje visible de amabilidad, aceptación e inclusión.

La próxima semana, del 26 al 30 de octubre, continuaremos nuestra postura contra el acoso escolar durante la Semana del Espíritu de la Cinta Roja. Los diferentes días de vestimenta están publicados en Class Dojo y en nuestra página de Facebook.

Las boletas de calificaciones se enviarán a casa el lunes 26 de octubre.

El día de la foto de otoño es el lunes 2 de noviembre.

Padres, gracias por asegurarse de que su hijo esté presente, a tiempo y preparado para la escuela todos los días. La instrucción comienza a las 8:00 a. m. y la salida es a las 3:00 p. m. No se permite la salida después de las 2:30 p. m. Si su hijo llega tarde, deberá venir personalmente a la escuela y firmar su entrada. Los estudiantes que llegan tarde con frecuencia o salen temprano pierden valioso tiempo de instrucción.

Como siempre, si tienen alguna pregunta o inquietud, no duden en contactarme. ¡Esperamos otra gran semana en el Nido de Avispones! Que tengan una buena noche. ¡Nos vemos mañana!

Good afternoon Hearne families. This is Principal Olinka Baker with announcements, updates, and reminders for the week of October 12, 2026.

Thursday, October 15 will end the first quarter grading period. Report Cards will go home on Monday, October 26. Please contact your child’s teacher to schedule a conference as needed.

Friday, October 16 is a teacher workday. There will be no school for students.

We will celebrate Red Ribbon Spirit Week October 26-30. Mrs. Rowland will share the dress days in Class Dojo and social media.

Our fall picture day is scheduled for Monday, November 2.

Parents, thank you for ensuring your child is present, on time, and prepared for school each day. Instruction begins at 8:00 am and dismissal is 3:00 pm. There is no checkout after 2:30 pm. If your student is tardy, you will need to physically come in and sign them into school. Students who are frequently tardy or picked up late will be assigned to a WCS bus route. If a bus route is unavailable due to your student being on reassignment or out of district, the reassignment will be revoked and your student will have to return to their base school. Please note that students who are tardy or check out early 6 times or more in a quarter are not able to participate in PBIS Celebrations; but more importantly, students miss out on valuable instruction when they are continuously late or checkout early.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. We’re looking forward to another great week in the Hornets’ Nest! Have a good evening. We’ll see you in the morning!

Buenas tardes familias de Hearne. Soy la directora Olinka Baker con anuncios, actualizaciones y recordatorios para la semana del 12 de octubre de 2026.

El jueves 15 de octubre finalizará el primer trimestre de calificaciones. Las boletas de calificaciones se enviarán a casa el lunes 26 de octubre. Por favor, comuníquese con el maestro de su hijo para programar una conferencia si es necesario.

El viernes 16 de octubre es un día de trabajo para los maestros. No habrá clases para los estudiantes.

Celebraremos la Semana del Espíritu de la Cinta Roja del 26 al 30 de octubre. La Sra. Rowland compartirá los días de vestimenta en Class Dojo y redes sociales.

Nuestro día de fotos de otoño está programado para el lunes 2 de noviembre.

Padres, gracias por asegurarse de que su hijo esté presente, a tiempo y preparado para la escuela todos los días. La instrucción comienza a las 8:00 a. m. y la salida es a las 3:00 p. m. No hay salida después de las 2:30 p. m. Si su hijo llega tarde, deberá venir personalmente a la escuela y firmar su entrada. Los estudiantes que llegan tarde con frecuencia o son recogidos tarde serán asignados a una ruta de autobús de WCS. Si una ruta de autobús no está disponible debido a que su hijo/a está en reasignación o fuera del distrito, la reasignación se revocará y su hijo/a deberá regresar a su escuela de origen. Tenga en cuenta que los estudiantes que llegan tarde o salen antes de tiempo 6 veces o más en un trimestre no pueden participar en las Celebraciones PBIS; pero, aún más importante, los estudiantes se pierden valiosas lecciones cuando llegan tarde o salen antes de tiempo continuamente.

Como siempre, si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, no dude en contactarme. ¡Esperamos otra gran semana en el Nido de Avispones! Que tenga una buena tarde. ¡Nos vemos mañana!
