Huggins Community,

As we wrap up the first week of school, I want to share just how wonderful it has been having our hounds back in the building! It was an exciting and productive week, full of energy, enthusiasm, and many memorable moments.

We have spent this week welcoming students, establishing routines, and ensuring our hounds are comfortable with the procedures that will guide us as we GO FOR GOLD this year. It has been incredible to witness the positivity and eagerness that each student has brought with them.

One of the highlights of our week was our first House Pep Rally of the year! All of our new students were assigned their house today! Be sure to ask your hound all about it...we even had the Fulshear High School Band and Cheerleaders here to help us celebrate! If you are new to Huggins, your child was assigned to one of five houses: House of Courage (red), House of Friendship (yellow), House of Determination (green), House of Loyalty (blue), or House of Gratitude (purple). Their excitement was contagious, and it's moments like these that remind us why we are so passionate about what we do!

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure this year is successful for all of our students. We are looking forward to many more weeks of learning, growth, and house spirit!

Have a wonderful weekend. Your hounds should sleep well tonight! We look forward to seeing them back on Monday...and we can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store!

Sincerely,

Bethany Cunningham

The safety of your children is our top priority, and adhering to our established car rider procedures helps us maintain a smooth and organized process during drop-off and pick-up times. Here are a few key points to remember:

• Turn Right into the Huggins Car Rider Driveway: The entrance to our car rider line is off of Katy-Fulshear Road. To get in line, you must be heading south on Katy-Fulshear. Cars are not permitted to make a left-hand turn into the driveway.
• Stay in Line: When entering the Huggins driveway for drop-off or pick-up, please stay in a single file line.This helps avoid any congestion and ensures a steady flow of traffic. Do not pull off and attempt to pass cars in line, as this creates a safety hazard.
  
• Follow Staff Instructions: Our staff members are trained to guide and assist during drop-off and pick-up times. Please follow their instructions promptly and patiently. Their guidance is aimed in creating a safe environment for everyone.
  
• No Cell Phones: While in the car rider line, please refrain from using your cell phone. This allows you to remain focused on the line and surrounding area, helping to ensure a safe environment for our students and staff.
• Arrival and Dismissal Times: It's important to arrive at the designated times for drop-off and pick-up. Remember, our doors open at 7:15am. Staff will begin opening doors at that time. Please do not drop off your student before 7:15am. Students that arrive after 7:45 will be counted tardy. If you arrive to school after the start time and there is no longer line or staff outside, you will need to park and walk your child into the building to check-in and receive a tardy slip. Please note that all change of transportation changes must be made before 1:30pm. In the event you need to pick up your child early, please do so by 2:00pm.
• Car Rider Tags: You must have a 24-25 car rider tag hanging from your rearview mirror to pick up your student in the car rider line. In the event that you do not have your tag, you will need to park in the lot and go to the office. Your child will be released to you with proper ID and after the car rider line is cleared.

By adhering to these procedures, we can collectively create a safe and efficient car rider process. We greatly appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and patience...especially the first few weeks of school!
