A Message from Our Principal, LeRoy Hall Jr.
Greetings Houston Family,
I hope you have had an enjoyable summer! With great pride and excitement, I welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year at Henry H. Houston Elementary School! It is an honor and pleasure to serve you and your children. There are many things to look forward to this year.
We continue to focus on rigorous instruction that meets needs and empowers all our students. In addition to robust learning opportunities in the core subjects (English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies), our programming will include S.T.E.M., Music, Art, and Physical Education/Health, classes. Last year’s Aladdin musical, city art show participation, success in athletics, participation in the national Scripps’ Spelling Bee, monthly Harambee and P.B.I.S. celebrations, and award-winning robotics/Science Olympiad programs are just some of the things that will help all of our learners reach their fullest potential! As always, our aim is to teach the whole child.
We look forward to working alongside our families and community partners to meet each child’s academic, social, and emotional needs. Our core values of the Power of 3 will help guide us again this year. Power of 3 establishes three ideas:
That it is important to:
1. Take care of yourself
2. Take care of others
3. Take care of the school
Above all, our goal every year is for each Houston child to be provided with an education that enables them to reach their fullest potential and achieve their dreams!
Our first school day will be Monday, August 26th for all learners. Supply lists for your child’s grade can be found on this site. As in years past, our school day starts at 8:15 am; however, breakfast is available in the cafeteria for students at 7:45 am. On the first day of school, please bring your child to the playground area, where we will begin the year by welcoming each other as a school community. Students will then enter the building with their homeroom teachers. Homeroom assignment information will be posted in the playground area. Several Houston staff members will be available to help guide families and students to their homeroom lines.
If you have yet to do so, please be sure to register for the Parent and Family Portal. Here, you can access attendance records, view grades, communicate with teachers, stay informed about assignments, and receive important school notifications. Click HERE to register.
Welcome to another year at Houston, a place where education opens the doors to dreams!
Sincerely,
LeRoy Hall, Jr.
