I am so excited about the start of our school year.  The students have demonstrated high levels of energy and enthusiasm and we have really enjoyed getting to know the students.  

We are also excited to begin building collaborative relationships with our Horner families in an attempt to support students in every way.

Each monthly newsletter will include helpful hints for parents to consider using with your child to improve their overall success at Horner.  

We look forward to a successful partnership which will help us make a difference in the lives of our students!

Parent's, don't forgot to check the website and marque for various announcements about school activities and sports.

Enjoy this edition of the family newsletter and thank you for your cooperation with all of us at Horner - Mrs. Hicks-Rodriguez, Principal
