As always, all are invited to attend, and our SAC records can be found in our Front Office during school hours. You can also find our agendas and approved minutes on the HNIS website.
To eliminate confusion at the end of the day, early check-outs must occur prior to 1:00p.m. Also, all transportation changes must be made in writing prior to 12p.m., except in the cases of an emergency. Transportation changes will not be taken verbally or over the phone. Changes can be sent in with your child, or via the HNIS website by clicking on the yellow transportation change button. Please do not email your child’s teacher with this information.
Don’t forget that we are asking parents to wait until September 8th to schedule lunch visits with your children. This will give us time to settle into our new school year with some time to establish our lunchroom procedures before encouraging parent visits.
Please pencil the following dates into your calendar for our state FAST PM1 testing:
Third Grade
Thursday, September 3rd - ELA
Friday, September 4th - Math
Fourth Grade

Have a great rest of your weekend and as always, Seahawks S.O.A.R. high at HNI!
Welcome back Seahawks!
We are so excited to see everyone tomorrow, August 10th, for the first day of school! Below are a few important reminders to help with a successful start to the 2026-2027 school year.
🔔 Morning Bell Schedule: The doors open for students at 6:50 am, our car rider gate closes at 7:10 am, and the tardy bell rings at 7:15 am.
🤗 First Day of School: If you were planning to walk your child, please give that last hug and well wishes for the day at our front lobby. Our Seahawk Staff will ensure students make it safely to class as this wonderful new school year begins.
🚌 Make sure your teachers knows how your child goes home on Monday (and all week long). Check the MyRideK12 app or website! (Info available in the SRCSD Back to School Resources below)
🥗 Now is a great time to log into MySchoolBucks to add any money to your child’s lunch account and pay any activity fees. Apply for free/reduced lunch early at https://www.myschoolapps.com
😴 Help students set their new bedtime routine to ensure they are rested and ready for each school day. We recommend 20 minutes of reading time each night before bed.
📱Stay connected throughout the school year for important announcements, events, and updates! Follow the HNIS Facebook page and download the SRCDS App for school wide and classroom specific communication. We will also send a detailed e-mail and text to you weekly with upcoming dates & reminders.
