Dear  PFE  Families,

This spring our  3rd, 4th & 5th Grade students will be participating in the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). The STAAR  allows our students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned this year. The STAAR measures a student’s progress, but a score does not alone determine whether the student can advance to the next grade. The assessments for each grade level include:

Grade 3 - Reading/Language Arts & Math

Grade 4 - Reading/Language Arts & Math

Grade 5 - Reading/Language Arts, Science, & Math

Specific STAAR test date information by grade level is above:

Additional Resources for Parents:

The Humble ISD Assessment web pages have been updated with STAAR information for Elementary Schools and a Frequently Asked Questions document.

TEA’s STAAR Resource page 

In order to accommodate testing, we will have adjusted campus schedules on STAAR testing days.  PFE will NOT be open to visitors, including lunch visitors on testing days. We encourage our students to get a good night’s rest, eat a hearty breakfast, bring a healthy snack and water bottle on testing days. Please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher if you have specific questions as it relates to STAAR testing days. If your child leaves during  their test ( this includes doctor appointments) they will be required to stop their test and they will only be scored about what they have completed. Thank you for your support!

Warm regards,

Sincerely,
Wendy Anaya
Pine Forest Principal

Reminder: Pre-K Enrollment Opens Monday, April 6

Thanks to a provision from the 89th Texas Legislature, Humble ISD is able to offer Pre-Kindergarten at no cost to classroom teachers. Teachers who are classified as 087 are eligible for free Pre-K, including elementary library teachers, elementary digital integration teachers, middle school social studies instructional coaches and high school athletic trainer teachers.

Other employees, including paraprofessionals, administrators, auxiliary staff, and specialized professionals are able to apply for fee-based Pre-K through the district. The cost is $6,620 a year, paid through payroll deduction (non-optional).

Children must be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2026 to be eligible for Pre-K.

When can I register?
Registration for Pre-Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year will open Monday, April 6.

Will my child be at the same school where I work?
Children will be assigned based on classroom capacity, and while requests for specific campuses can be considered, there’s no guarantee your child will be at your workplace or near your home. Pre-K classes usually have 22 students, led by a teacher and a paraprofessional. Once you apply, you’ll set up a verification appointment where you can discuss and confirm your child's campus.

Where are Pre-K classes located?
Pre-K classes for the 2026-2027 school year will be located at Atascocita Springs, Early Childhood Center, Eagle Springs, Fall Creek, Foster, Hidden Hollow, Humble, Jack Fields, Lakeland, Lakeshore, Maplebrook, North Bend, Oak Forest, Oaks, Park Lakes, Pine Forest, River Pines, Summerwood, Timbers, and Whispering Pines elementary schools. Your child will be in a class that includes children qualifying for Pre-K under various state provisions.

What are the times for Pre-K?
Pre-K classes run Monday through Friday, with campus doors opening at 7:30 a.m., and classes starting at 7:55 a.m. and ending at 3:20 p.m. Pre-K students have the same holidays as Humble ISD elementary schools. Check out the 2026-2027 academic calendar for details.

How do I apply?

Visit the district enrollment website on Monday, April 6.

Choose New to District Enrollment.

 

On the application, choose either the Humble ISD classroom teacher or employee tuition-based option based on your eligibility.

After submitting, you'll receive a "PK Next Steps" email with a link to book your verification appointment—make sure to choose the times designated for Humble ISD employees.

If you have any questions, please email the Early Childhood Department at earlychildhood@humbleisd.net.
