Leader in Me - 7 Habits Huebner Elementary is working towards providing an education for your child that gives them the tools that will empower them to be successful throughout their life and leaders in our society. We will teach and practice with your child, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Children, inspired by Stephen Covey’s book, The Leader in Me.

  6. Report Cards and Progress Reports 9 week grading period A progress report will be sent at the end of the 3rd week, if failing or not meeting expectations At 6-weeks, all students will receive a progress report Check Family Portal regularly for missing assignments.

  7. Assignments Tests and assignments can be corrected. The maximum grade possible after corrections is 70%. If work is not corrected, then the grade will be as originally earned. There will be a special tab in the binder where work needing to be corrected will be kept. Late work will have a 5 point a day deduction up to 20 points. Work not turned in will result in a zero.

  8. Homework Spelling or Vocabulary practice will go home each week. Math Homework will be assigned M-Th, HW will be kept in student’s HW folder. Students are required to read 4 nights a week. Homework will be checked in class.

Work Habits/Behavior Chart- comments on your child’s work habits and behavior will be marked on the chart as needed; this may include completing homework/assignments and/or following rules and procedures. These will be signed at the end of each week by a parent. Five or more calendar signatures could result in loss of participation in patrols and other leadership roles on campus.

  10. Dress Code (per NEISD policy) Student Dress Code: I would appreciate your help with our student dress code. The dress code in its entirety can be found on theNEISD website. NEISD believes that school performance and future success are enhanced by appropriate dress and good grooming. Parents/Guardians are strongly urged to work closely with the school to ensure student's adherence to these standards. Here are a few clarifications for our Huebner students. Shorts may be worn to school as is stated in the handbook. Huebner's guideline is that shorts should be "fingertip" length. Students in 2nd-5th grades should be able to demonstrate for you what this means as teachers have reviewed it this week with students. Hair Color: Hairstyles and color should not distract from the learning environment. Huebner's guideline is that hair should be "natural" in color. Pants/leggings that are made of spandex or similar material must have an item of clothing worn over the material that completely covers the student’s front and back to the length of the student’s bottom to ensure modesty. Shirts:Halter tops, exposed midriffs or backs, and spaghetti straps are not permitted. Tanks/sleeveless shirts are prohibited unless the width of the shirt’s shoulder is at least 3 fingers wide.
