Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for an incredible school year and for your continued support throughout the year. Your partnership and trust mean so much to us, and we are very grateful to have shared this journey with your family.
It has been a joy and an honor to watch our students learn, grow, and persevere this school year. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and the progress they have made.
As we head into summer, I hope you enjoy a well-deserved break filled with rest, joy, and special moments with your loved ones. Thank you for being such an important part of our school community.
With gratitude,
Alejandra Valdez, Principal

Suns family, we want to hear from you! As part of our Campus Needs Assessment and Parent Engagement initiatives, we value your feedback and input. Please take a few moments to complete the following survey. Thank you for your participation and support!
We are looking for parent, community and business representatives to help serve on our Campus Leadership Team. The CLT plays an important role in making decisions about budgeting and helping to monitor the goals in the Campus Improvement Plan.
Community representatives are individuals that reside in our district, but do not have children attending our schools.
If interested in being nominated or to learn more about the role, please reach out to Principal Valdez at alejandra.valdez@hayscisd.net
Congratulations to Kindergarten for earning the Popsicle Party! 🎉🍧
Thank you to all the parents who have taken the time to register their students! If you need assistance with registration, please reach out to Ms. Gonzalez at (512) 268-8502 or brenda.gonzalez@hayscisd.net.
Ms. Gonzalez will be on campus until June 4th.
Beginning next school year, our elementary campus will no longer have an on-site registrar. If you need assistance with registration during the summer, Meet the Teacher Night, or the first day of school, you would need to visit the Academic Support Center for support.
Thank you for your attention and support!

Let’s make every day count because Missing School is Missing Out!
Thanks so much for your continued effort to get your students here every day! Your support really makes a big difference.
Last week, we had the chance to celebrate students who won a prize in our Perfect Attendance Raffle, and this week, we will celebrate those who had Perfect Attendance for the entire school year. What an amazing achievement! That’s no easy task, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you, parents! Keep shining!
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.
