• K-2 parents must come up and wait at the flag pole at the front of the school. A staff member will release your student(s) to you.

• Please avoid putting staff in a compromising position by trying to take your child from them while they are bringing their line of students out.

• You must come to the designated location to get your child. This is for the safety of our students.

If your chid rides a bus

• Busing information for all students is now available on the HSD Transportation MyBus Page. You will need your students ID number and birthdate to access the system.

Similar to last year, those picking their students up at dismissal in a car will be asked to display a sign in their passenger side window. This sign will signal staff who you are picking up and from what class(es). For the first few days of school we ask that you use last years sign and/or make a new one as we work to finalize our transportation list. A formal sign will be sent home within the first few weeks of school. See the picture for what to include on your temporary sign (Teachers Name- Student Name)
