Absence Excuse Notes

Hi families,

I'm excited to share with you all a Transportation Change Dismissal Form. This is to provide you with convenience in notifying us when you need to change dismissal for your child. Please complete the form by 2:00pm the day you are needing a transportation change. Also, please be sure to complete the form for each day your child needs a change and for each child (if multiple). For example, if you need to change transportation for Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28, complete the form twice indicating the dates. If you are changing transportation to bus rider, please indicate what bus number on the last question. 

We are hopeful this will help with trying to get through to the office during the day when the phone line is extremely busy. 

Please click here to notify us of a transportation change. We will start using this form from now on.

SnakeAwareness

I want you to be aware that we've seen an increased presence of snakes, specifically rattlesnakes, on campus. This is important for you to know so you can speak to your child about being aware of their surroundings. We have a few things going on to ensure the safety of our Colts:

1. HPE teachers receive safety training specific to snakes.

2. A BISD employee engages in snake walks each morning prior to the arrival of students.

3. Teachers walk the playground areas prior to releasing students for recess.

4. HPE security guard checks for snakes on his door check walks.

5. We teach staff and students to STOP, LOOK, & LISTEN anytime leaving the building. This is to ensure safety in many areas. An important step here would be to look down when opening doors as snakes like to coil in the corners of doors and door walkways.
