Dear Heritage Rose Families,

We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership.

Your involvement in our school community; whether through your engagement with school initiatives, your presence at award ceremonies and graduation events, or your thoughtful efforts during Teacher Appreciation Week has played an important role in creating a positive and enriching environment for our students and staff.

We are truly fortunate to work alongside such a dedicated and supportive group of families.

Your contributions, both big and small, continue to strengthen the sense of community that makes Heritage Rose a special place for children to learn and grow.

Thank you again for your commitment and support.

It is deeply appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dear Heritage Rose Families,

We are reaching out with an important reminder about the importance of safety during our daily drop-off and dismissal times.

The well-being of our students is always our top priority, and we rely on everyone’s cooperation to ensure a secure and smooth experience for all.

Please remain vigilant when driving through our school zone using reduced speed, watching for pedestrians, and following all posted signs and directions.

We respectfully ask that you park and escort your child if they need assistance, rather than stopping briefly in unapproved or unsafe areas to let them out.

Following our established procedures to help us maintain a safe and efficient flow of traffic.

We appreciate your patience and commitment to keeping our students and staff safe.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Heritage Rose Administration

Dear Fort Bend ISD (FBISD) Parents,

Before we wrap up the 2024-25 school year, the FBISD Student Information Systems team wants to make you aware of some Skyward changes happening over the summer.

FBISD will complete a major Skyward upgrade - transitioning from Skyward SMS 2.0 to Skyward Qmlativ (Q) for the 2025-26 school year. This move will provide the District enhanced security, and more robust reporting within our student information system, and will provide parents with an easier-to-navigate Family Access experience.

This project represents a significant undertaking for FBISD. Since January 2024, district and campus staff have been hard at work testing the Skyward Q system. This includes meticulous migration planning, data refinement, configuring staff training access, and rebuilding user security access*.

We're excited to share this update with you and will continue to provide timely updates as the 2025-26 school year approaches. As with any major technology upgrade, there will be obstacles along the way. Your patience and flexibility are appreciated as we all work together to make the move to Skyward Q a success.

Please see the Skyward Qmlativ video for a sneak peek of what’s to come.

For more information, please visit www.fortbendisd.com/SkywardQ. We hope you have a great end of the year and a restful summer break!

Sincerely,
FBISD Student Information Systems Team

Dear Parents,

This is a friendly reminder that we cannot release students for early pick-up after 2:30 p.m. At this time, our teachers and students are concluding their instructional day. Additionally, we ask that you please remain in your cars during dismissal. For safety reasons, we are unable to release students to parents in the lobby area at this time.

Thank you for your understanding and support in ensuring a safe dismissal process for all.

Dear Heritage Rose Families,

Please be reminded that you must park in the teacher parking lot and enter HRE through the front doors. No parking is allowed on Glendale Lakes Drive due to traffic flow and ticketing.

Arrival:

1. The earliest that students may be dropped off is 7:30 AM. School starts at 8:05 AM. Any student who arrives after 8:05 AM is considered tardy and must be signed in by their parent at the front office.

2. All Pre-K and 1st grade car riders (along with their siblings) will be dropped off and picked up at the PRE-K ENTRANCE. All other students will be dropped off and picked up at the FRONT ENTRANCE.

3. Breakfast is served from 7:30-8:00 AM.

4. Doors open at 7:30 AM. Please do not drop off students before this time. We want to ensure that all of our students are monitored and safe.

Kinder, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade car riders without PreK siblings will be picked up at the FRONT ENTRANCE. 1st grade students with siblings in 2nd-5th grades will also be picked up at the FRONT ENTRANCE.

7. There will be two WALKER groups this year. The FRONT WALKERS will be any students who live on the opposite side of Glendale Lakes from our school. FRONT WALKERS will cross Glendale Lakes at the crosswalk in front of the school. The SIDE WALKERS will be students who live on the same side of Glendale Lakes as HRE. The SIDE WALKERS will walk out the side entrance of the school and will be walked to the edge of the school property heading toward Victorville Drive. Students who live on Mariquita Lane and on the left side of Toluca Drive from HRE must be FRONT WALKERS and cross Glendale Lakes at the cross walk in front of the school. Students that live on the right side of Glendale Lakes from the school will be SIDE WALKERS. No student who is a side walker should cross Glendale Lakes Drive while walking home.

PreK, Kinder 1st, and 2nd grade students without older siblings will not be allowed to walk home alone. Parents must meet them at the crosswalk to receive them. If parents are not present at the crosswalk, students will return with employees to the front office. All parents who are meeting their children who are walkers must meet their children at either the front crosswalk for FRONT WALKERS or at the corner stop sign for SIDE WALKERS. Please do not retrieve your child as they are walking in the line as they are transitioning to their destination.

Thank you!

Parents,

You are able to have luch with your student on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays

HRE Breakfast and Lunch Update

All students will receive free breakfast and lunch at Heritage Rose Elementary for the 2024-2025 school year thanks to the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision.

However, we are still asking that all families complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application, which opens on August 1. It can be completed at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd. Families must complete an application for each school year.

Lunch Visitor Update

Lunch is a time for students to eat and to develop their communication skills and independence. We encourage students to engage in conversation with their peers at lunchtime and take responsibility for their needs. The cafeteria will be closed to lunch visitors the first three weeks of school. This allows our students and teachers time to establish cafeteria routines and expectations. Lunch visitors may begin visiting on Wednesday, September 4th. We appreciate your understanding of the visitor timeframe.
