Beginning January 7, 2025, water bottles will no longer be permitted in classrooms unless they are inside a lunch box and used during lunch time. This decision comes after observing that water bottles have become a distraction during instruction and are causing damage to school supplies and materials. In order to create a more focused learning environment and protect classroom resources, students will no longer be allowed to have water bottles on their desks, near the classroom sink, or in their bookbags. We understand the importance of hydration, and students will still have opportunities to drink water during lunch and designated breaks. We are sharing this information now so that families can make adjustments accordingly, and we can proactively address any concerns before the change takes effect. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain an optimal learning environment for all students. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school. Sincerely, Gregory W. Brown, Ed.D Principal Heard Mixon Elementary School Dear HMES Stakeholders, I am both humbled and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Heard-Mixon Elementary School. It is a tremendous honor to become a part of the Heard-Mixon family, and I am eager to collaborate with you to support the academic and social growth of our incredible scholars. With 27 years of experience in the field of education, I bring a diverse background that spans from teaching in elementary schools to serving as a college professor. Throughout my career, I have been committed to fostering a nurturing and dynamic learning environment where every student can thrive. My goal at HMES is to build on the solid foundation already in place and ensure that our school continues to trend from good to great. At Heard-Mixon we passionately believe that a strong partnership between school and home is vital for the success of our students. Therefore, your suggestions/ideas that will benefit the academic and social growth of our amazing scholars are welcomed and appreciated.
