Hello Razorbacks,
We are so excited to have students back in the building! The first week of face-to-face instruction went very well. Everyone did a fantastic job wearing their masks properly and following our new safety protocols and procedures. After feedback from our staff and students, we decided to make some changes to our transition direction on the second floor and staggered dismissal times.
Parents, please remind your children to charge their devices at night and bring their chargers to school every day. Also, Cycle 1 Report Cards did go out today. Please see the information below for more details about how to access your child’s grades.
I look forward to another great week!
Sincerely,
Principal Saldaña

Olivia Davis - Reflective
6th Grade Student of the Week
Our 6th Grade Razorback of the Week is Olivia Davis for being Reflective! Olivia is constantly reflecting on her own progress by taking notes to make sure she can improve for next time. She enjoys Dance and Science because she likes to do exciting things!
Olivia is excited to be at Hogg this year and is looking forward to helping her teachers around school and setting up for plays and events. In order to be successful in virtual learning, Olivia suggests copying all the important information from your lessons into a notebook for future reference.
In a few years, you’ll likely be calling her Chef Olivia and enjoying food from her world-class restaurant! She loves to bake brownies and cookies and plans to attend Sam Houston State University in order to pursue her culinary career.

Joshua Wallace- Communicator
7th Grade Student of the Week
Our 7th Grade Razorback of the Week is Joshua Wallace for being a Communicator! Joshua is never fearful of “sounding crazy” and will always speak up when he needs to!
At Hogg, Joshua enjoys Math because he loves the challenge of trying to solve a problem. Among his favorite Razorback memories are the teacher vs. student games and last year’s Black History Month program. In order to be successful in virtual learning, Joshua recommends following up on your grades in PowerSchool.
Outside of school, Joshua enjoys playing sports, hanging with friends, and playing video games. In the future, he plans to either play basketball or football professionally or become an engineer. And despite not having any pets now, he definitely wants a dog of his own some day!
