Hesse K8 Uniforms
With the understanding that student behavior is influenced by the way students are dressed and that no student should dress in a manner that is disruptive or has an adverse effect on school activities, the following mandatory uniform standards have been developed. Students are expected to dress in the school uniform during the school day, on field trips, and during school-related activities. Hesse K-8 uniform colors are as follows: hunter green or white uniform shirts; khaki or navy uniform bottoms. Please refer to the SCCPSS Code of Conduct for full details regarding uniform guidelines/expectations.
If student arrives at school out of uniform, it will be documented and student will have the option to:
Change clothes into a supplied uniform and remain at school, or
Call home for a change of clothing, which must delivered to the front office by 9:00 a.m.
At this time, students are not allowed to wear a hooded sweatshirt "hoodie". They will be asked to take it off in the building.
Students with repetitive uniform violations will be subject to disciplinary action. Please see below regarding documentation used for dress code violations:

Bus Rider Update:
The Transportation Department has completed distribution of barcoded student cards for initiation of the Synovia/Here Comes The Bus Student Pass Program. Barcoded cards were generated for bus riders attending elementary and K-8 schools. Students attending middle and high schools will use their school issued ID card for the Synovia/Here Comes The Bus HCTB Student Pass Program. Bus riders in all grade levels may use a smartphone with the Here Comes The Bus app as an additional option for the student pass.
Each SCCPSS bus is equipped with a tablet to validate students when loading and unloading. Parents are also able to monitor their child’s scans using the HCTB parent app. For parents already utilizing the HCTB app to monitor the bus, student scans will automatically populate in the app.
Parents utilizing the HCTB app, may be submitted requests for assistance via the app.
