The Mission of Humble ISD Health Services is to enhance the health and well being of the stu-dents, staff, and community thus supporting the education of all students through maximizing their educational time.

Kindergarten is in motion!

Kindergarten is learning about force and motion. We will learn about the way things can move and ways to change how things move (pushing or pulling). We will conduct science experiments to help us understand the concepts of force and motion.

We would like to thank all of the parents for helping their child make their family crest. The students have enjoyed sharing these with the class.

Important Reminders –

• You may have noticed that on occasion your child receives a math activity page in their folder. We ask that you complete this activity at home with your child and return it to school the next day.

• Girls need to wear shorts under skirts or dresses.

• Please remember to sign your child’s take home folder each night and take out notes daily.

If you send money with your child, please put it in an envelope labeled with your child’s name and its pur-pose.

Important Upcoming Dates –

• May 2nd: Super Kid’s Day

• June 7th : Kindergarten End of the Year Program at 8:45 a.m.
