Thank You!
We hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and enjoy time with your loved ones. We are thankful for our entire HPE community!
Arrival at HPE
Important things to remember to make sure your student is not tardy:
- Students must be inside the school doors by 7:45 (8:45 on Fridays). Anyone arriving after that time will be considered tardy.
- All school doors close by 7:45. Anyone arriving after that time will need to go through the front doors to be let in.
- Announcements for the day begin at 7:46. If you are arriving at 7:46 or after you may be asked to wait a couple of minutes until the announcements are finished.
We appreciate your support.
Leaving Early?
- Help us ease front office congestion! Pick your student up from school by 2 p.m., especially on Fridays.
- Minimizing commotion the last 1/2 hour of the day helps us meet safety protocols.
- Is your student leaving early? Notify our front office staff (816.986.2250 or heather.wathan@lsr7.net) by Noon.
We'll inform necessary parties, and prepare your student to exit efficiently when you visit.
