Dearest Hyer Families,

We are kicking off the week with excitement as we celebrate our Grandfriends today and welcome our families to Open House on Tuesday evening. Our students and teachers have been working diligently to prepare for these events, and they are thrilled to host all of our special guests at Hyer this week. Grandfriends will enjoy grade-level performances, and all our guests are sure to see high-quality student work displayed throughout the building and in classrooms. I couldn’t be more proud of our teachers and students and the work they do each day.

As you are likely aware, HPISD is in the process of selecting a new math resource K-12, to be adopted for the 2026-2027 school year. I encourage you to visit the math textbook adoption community review located at the Administration Building or, view the resources digitally and complete a feedback form on the HPISD Instructional Materials Adoption Process site. Feedback will be collected through March 12th.

Teachers across the district have already provided very thorough feedback on each resource and have been able to vote for their preference. Please take some time to become familiar with the resources through a parent lens, to provide feedback and select one that you feel best meets the needs of your child(ren). Thank you in advance for your support of this important process.

Gratefully,

Debbie

Pre-K and Kinder Grandfriends will head straight to the classroom. First, Second, Third and Fourth grades will perform in the Cafetorium first, then head to the classrooms.

Grandfriends are not permitted to take their child out of their classroom to visit other siblings/performances.

*We love our Grandfriends at Hyer, but we are unable to accommodate guests staying for lunch. Please let your family know this in advance. Call the office if you have any questions*

Didn't RSVP? No problem! We will simplify the check-in process to make it EASY for our grandfriends to get in the school to visit their students! Email Ellen Kershaw with any questions!

We’re excited to welcome all Huskies to Hyer on Tuesday, March 3rd! The families of our Huskies are welcome to visit their students' classrooms and view our art show from 5:00-6:00 p.m. This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the hard work your Husky has been doing this year!

**Be sure to stop by the Art Show in the Cafetorium! Every single husky has a special framed piece of art to take home as a gift from PTA!**

No cooking for you that night! Order Mimi's pizza on Tuesday night and our school gets a kick-back! Be sure and mention Hyer at checkout!

It’s hard to believe that next school year’s auction is already in the works! We’re thrilled to announce the 2026 Auction Chairs: Emily Hill, Brooke Noffsinger, and Brittany Smalley. While these three have already hit the ground running, it truly takes a village to bring the auction to life. The Auction Chairs are currently building an incredible team, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

Being on the committee is one of the most fun and rewarding ways to get involved in our beloved school community! Grab your friends and take on a fun role together. Click the link below to learn more about the different committee opportunities and select the ones that interest you. Please note that submitting the form does not guarantee a specific position; the Auction Team will follow up directly as roles are finalized.

Please submit your forms by Monday, March 2nd.

DADS CLUB - DADDY DAUGHTER DANCE

WAS THE BEST!

• First: if you are new to MIS, cafeteria spots will open to new volunteers on March 9th. Coveted spots and days with multiple openings go quick! New volunteers can make VSP accounts now and start registering on March 9th. VSP is how volunteers at the middle school sign-up for volunteering.
• Second: 4/5 transition meetings will take place on April 30th, 9:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. A long standing tradition is the 4/5 transition shirts, and ordering will start today and end April 1st!

If you have an incoming Kindergartner, PLEASE enroll them now! This helps us figure out class sizes and teachers for next school year!

- Round of applause & standing ovation for Megan Conlon - a new excel spreadsheet wizard! She conquered PTA's spring gifting - where we allocate the funds raised by our PTA and put them to good use!

- And where would we be without Misty Wall?! Our fearless, financial leader! Misty, we might as well be playing monopoly if not for your guidance and accounting genius.

- To those of you who served on the Spring Gift Committee - THANK YOU! Y'all asked great questions, brainstormed with us and approved our proposed spring gifting! It is such a JOY to get to decide where our funds will go.

- Katey Plummer and Patty Georgeadis - it has been a BUSY spring for y'all and you have not skipped a beat or missed a detail. Thank you for all you did to pull off Grandfriends day and make it so special.

- No sister-bias here - Ann Higginbottom is our Hyer Hero that saves the day! The amount of times I have volunteered her for jobs cannot be counted. But most recently, I volunteered her to take all the class photos with 2 days notice!

- Dad’s club - wooing their daughters and sweeping them off their feet at their annual Daddy/Daughter Dance! A night never to be forgotten by their little princesses!
