Please take the time to carefully read our Arrival and Dismissal Procedures.
Thank you for helping us keep our students and community safe and for your continuous support!
Car Riders Front Drop-Off: Drop-off in the front begins at 7:00 AM.
Do not leave students unattended, as supervision is unavailable before this time.
Please be courteous and do not skip in the line.
For safety reasons do not drop off your kids before the crosswalk
Students should be ready to unload when it is their turn.
Please stay off your cell phones as this can delay the line and cause a safety issue. It is also against Texas law.
Car Riders Cafeteria Drop-Off: The cafeteria parking lot is designated for staff parking and buses only.
You may drop off at the cafeteria after buses leave (around 7:10 am), using the designated drop-off line. We have to unload 6 buses and we want everyone to safe.
If you are in line early, please use the roundabout that goes to the side of the cafeteria so buses are not blocked.
Please remain in your vehicle and follow staff guidance.
For safety, students should load/unload from the passenger side of the vehicle.
Please stay off your cell phones as this can delay the line and cause a safety issue. It is also against Texas law.
Car Rider Pick-Up Line Guidelines:
Parents must remain in their vehicles at all times to keep the process running smoothly and safely.
For safety, students should load from the passenger side of the vehicle.
If you need to assist your child with their seatbelt, please pull forward to the "Buckle-Up Safe Zone" to do so.
To help with the dismissal process and improve traffic flow, all cars should turn right to exit the school. Please follow the guidance of the staff on duty.
Please stay off your cell phones as this can delay the line and cause a safety issue. It is also against Texas law.
Walkers Guidelines:
"Parent pick-up" walkers are dismissed through the outside gym door. Parents will be asked to show their walker tag when picking up. Students will be sent to the front office if the parent does not have their tag.
Walkers are released after buses leave and the parking lot clears (around 3:10 p.m.)
If parent walkers are not picked up by 3:20 p.m., the students will be sent to wait with the car riders and will be dismissed at the end of the car riders' dismissal.
All walkers (parent pick-up, independent, and Dacy Ln) need a parent's consent on file to walk home. Please stop by the front office if you need your student to be a walker.
Let’s make every day count because Missing School is Missing Out!
We are excited to celebrate our students who had PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the 1st 9 weeks! 🎉
Each student who achieved perfect attendance will receive 2 FREE tickets to use however they choose at our upcoming Fall Festival!
The tickets will be BLUE.
Thank you for continuing to support our students in showing up every day, ready to learn!
We love celebrating their commitment to being at school!
☀️ Every Day Counts at SHES! 💙💛
We hold our students to high expectations! Our Suns can not be successful without your support! Please make sure your student's school attendance is a high priority for your family. Our students need to come to school to ensure access to high-quality education. When students miss school, they fall behind, and they'll need to work hard to catch up. Consider scheduling appointments after school, during holidays, or on weekends. Our staff is expected to reach out to families every day if a student is absent. Please call the front office in the morning to let them know your child will be out and send a note to our Attendance Clerk, Sonia Morales, explaining the student's absences. You can also send an email to SHES.Attendance@hayscisd.net
Thank you for your continued support!
The character trait for the month of October is, Responsibility!
Parents, please take some time to review the family connection.
Thank you for your partnership and for being a role model to your students! ☀️
