Instruction starts immediately at 7:40 a.m. If your child is consistently absent or tardy, they will have gaps in their learning.

Attendance and tardy letters will be sent home with students and emailed to those who have chronic absences and /or excessive tardies. Per Tex. Educ. Code § 25.093, truancy will be filed on chronic absences. If you need support, please reach out to Mrs. Taylor.

• AM Crosswalk is covered from 7:15- 7:35 am

• Please do not drop your child off on the street in front of the school. If you want them to use the crosswalk, you need to pull into the neighborhood.

• During AM and PM drop-off, please stay in your car. If you need to help your child get prepared to drop off in the morning, please park in the parking lot. At dismissal, if your child needs help buckling, please allow us to put them in the car. You can then pull into the field by the school or in the parking lot to help get them buckled. This will keep our traffic moving.

• Please do not drop students off at the corner stop sign. We have had reports of students almost being hit by other drivers. If you would like to walk your child to the door, please park in the parking lot or in the field to escort them to the door.

• Our tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. Please arrive on time for school. We will start counting tardies this week. Our instruction starts at 7:40 am each morning. If your child is late, you will need to escort them inside and sign them in for school.

10 minutes late a day = approximately 30 hours of missed school each year.
