Reminders

Transportation Changes

Keeping consistent afternoon dismissal will support your child in feeling safe and confident at the end of each day. If it is necessary to request a transportation change, please visit our district transportation site. All changes must be made by email before 1pm on the day of the change. This is an LHISD policy. Any transportation change requests after 1:00pm will not be honored. Any emails sent to campus personnel requesting a transportation change will not be accepted.

Parents will get a confirmation email for transportation changes, but please be mindful that it might take time. If they don’t hear back from our receptionist by 1pm, you may call the campus to confirm it was received.

Early pickup cut-off time is 2:40. If you wish to pick up your child early, you must park in the parking lot and come into the building with a valid ID to check your child out with the receptionist.

Need to know a bus route number, time or location. Infofinder has the answers you need!

A few reminders regarding attendance:

• Excused Absences: Excused absences are not viewed as days a student is entitled to take. Excused absences include, but are not limited to personal illness, doctor/medical absence, funeral/memorial, DPS, or weather or road conditions that make travel dangerous per LHISD notification. Students are required to attend at least 90 percent of the school year.
  

• Unexcused Absences: An unexcused absence is any absence that does not meet the definition of an excused absence (examples: personal business, vacation, club sports/travel, traffic, car trouble, driving school, etc.).

PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS FOR THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE TO ENTER NOTES

Updates:

Parent & Teacher Conferences- October 11th

Please be looking for information from your child's teacher regarding parent teacher conferences and sign up processes. We encourage all parents to take this opportunity to visit with your child's teacher regarding academics, concerns or questions you may have. Parent conferences will be conducted over the next two weeks. At SRE we value and greatly appreciate your partnership!

Fall Picture Retakes

Picture day retakes will take place on December 8th at SRE. These photos will go in the yearbook and replace the 1st picture as well.

Setting Limits in Your Child's Meal Accounts

Below are the steps to set limits on your child's meal account in Skyward. This will prevent your child from being able to charge a la cart/ snack items.

A Message from Music:

If your 4th or 5th grade student is in Choir after school, there is not a need to put in for a transportation change.  All 4th and 5th grade teachers have a list of students that are approved to stay after for choir.

Tell me more about being a volunteer!

Answers to these and many more questions can be found in the LHISD Elementary School Handbook.

Headphones 

The computers will stay at school, but we will use them frequently in class to expand and enhance the learning experience. Please double check that your student has headphones or earbuds in their backpacks each day, as several have been lost or broken since the year has begun!  We appreciate your support!

Water Bottles

Please don't forget to send a water bottle to school with your child. We have bottle filling stations throughout the school to refill, as needed.  

Jackets

Our rooms get chilly and with the chillier mornings, please make sure that your student has a jacket with them.

Mondays are College and Career Days! Wear your favorite college or career readiness shirt! Fridays are Panther Spirit Days. We can't wait to see your purple and gold! 🥳
