“From the SRE Music Room:
Here is a quick update and reminder about our 4th Grade Music program in the evening on March 9th here in our SRE Cafeteria. For information about this performance, please see the information sent home earlier last month, found here at this link. Please make sure to read the information in its entirety and fill out the Google form to ensure your student will participate. We hope to have 100% participation so all of our 4th grade students have the opportunity to shine on our SRE stage!
Please see below for the homeroom class performance schedule for this program:
Performance A – 5:30pm – Mrs. Garner, Ms. Graham, Mrs. Schultze & Ms. Styskal
Performance B – 6:30pm – Mrs. Loehr, Mrs. Lombardi & Mrs. Rogers
** If your student requested a speaking part, you can find the links to each script with his/her part at the links below:
Each performance will last approximately 30 minutes, and students and their families will be able to visit the Book Fair in the library either before or after their performance that evening as well!
A final reminder with detailed information will be sent one week before our program.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns at this time!
Many thanks,
Emily Williamson

Morning Procedures:
- Please be mindful that we do not have staff on duty to monitor students until 7:10. If you arrive before that time, please stay with your child until the doors are unlocked and there are staff members on duty.
- Morning drop off is a ONE LANE process. DO NOT run over our cones, drive around the cones or other cars. It is imperative that you stay in one lane in the morning. Students are exiting from their vehicles on the curb and passenger side, and we do not want anyone to get hit or hurt.
- The front 6 parking spots next to the handicap parking is available for parents that want to PARK and WALK their child to the crosswalk or front doors. This is a great option for students that may need a little more assistance getting out of their car.
- If your child is unable to independently unbuckle their seatbelt/car seat, please PARK and WALK them to the crosswalk.
- DO NOT use the front parking lot as a "STOP and DROP" location. Parents are not permitted to pull in the parking lot and have your child jump out the car door an drive off to avoid the car rider line.
- There are only 2 options for morning drop off: 1) Enter the car rider line 2) PARK in the 4 vacant parking lot spots and WALK your child to the crosswalk or to the front doors of the school building.
- If you are not walking your child to the front doors, please use the car rider lane. Please make sure to allow plenty of time for a safe morning arrival.
Afternoon Procedures:
- Please make sure to have your car tag displayed.
- Pull all the way forward and put your vehicle in park. Once Mrs. Luedtke raises the GREEN card, do not move your vehicle forward. We have several cars that are rolling when the students are walking, and that is not safe.
- DO NOT call or motion your child to come to your vehicle before they are released. They must remain with the staff members until all cars have stopped and are in park.
- Please wait in your vehicle. DO NOT get out of your car. We have several staff members that will assist your child with opening doors and buckling seat belts.
- If you do not have your car tag, you MUST have a valid I.D. for verification. If you do not have your car tag or I.D., your child will not be released to you.
Tardy Procedures:
- The tardy bell rings at 7:40
- If your child is tardy you MUST walk your child into the office to receive a tardy pass. This is an LHISD policy. Do not drop them off in the parking lot or at the front sidewalk as we have no staff working outside at that time and your child is unsupervised on campus grounds.
Handicap Parking Spots:
- Please do not park in the handicap parking spots unless you meet the new January 1, 2022 SB- Disabled Veteran Plates and Parking Privileges. This document is posted below.

Crossing Guards 
School crossing guards play an important role in the lives of children and their families who walk or bicycle to school. They help children safely cross the streets near campus as well as the car line at the front entry. They also remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians. A crossing guard plays another key function — a role model helping children develop the skills necessary to cross streets safely at all times. Parents...please support us in reinforcing safe habits for your children as you also observe and follow rules in crosswalks.
Transportation Changes
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
