Chipotle Night is next week! We receive 25% of all sales on October 22nd from 5-9!

You must mention the fundraiser. If you order in person, show the flyer with the paper or on your phone. If you order online for pickup, enter code YA3PGJW. Third party ordering does not count for us.

Paint Night is back, and we are having it in the fall this year! Join the PTA and Mrs. Leeper for a night of art and family fun!!

It is $5 per artist (students are not free). Click the image below to get to the Sign Up Genius and choose the time slot that works best for your family.

We ask that you notify the office prior to 3:00 with any transportation changes for students that day. It is important that the front office is notified and not just the classroom teacher. If we do not hear from a parent about transportation changes, the student will go home by their normal mode of transportation (documented in PowerSchool and given to the teacher during Back to School Night).

Front office staff:

Email: mandy.trotter@lsr7.net and debraa.jenkins@lsr7.net

Phone: (816) 986-3310

Calling before 3:00 allows us to communicate these changes to the teacher, while also supporting the daily routines and processes that occur during this busy part of the day.

Student End of Day Checkout:

If there is a need to check students out early for an appointment, please call the school and arrive by 3:45 to call them out of class. If you arrive after 3:45 you will need to join the car rider line.

Thank you for partnering with us to ensure the safety for all HGE Hawks during dismissal.

First day for lunch visitors this year is Tuesday, September 3rd. If you want to have lunch with your child please make sure to bring a state issued photo ID with you. No siblings are allowed to join and all lunches will be enjoyed in the hallway by the office. Parents have the option to purchase a school lunch in the cafeteria, if they wish. Please remember we do not accept any type of deliveries for students.

The USDA requires that we notify all parents of our meal charging policy which you can view by clicking on the link at the end of this section.

You may add money to your child's lunch account by sending cash/check to school or depositing money on line through My School Bucks app.

If it would be a benefit to your family, you're welcome to fill out a free and reduced lunch form by clicking HERE.

Students are also allowed to buy extras, which can drain a child's account VERY quickly!! You are welcome to put restrictions on you child's account such as "Only allowed one snack" or "Extras only on Fridays" or however often you allow. You may do this by contacting our cafeteria manager, Beth Kuiper via email @ beth.kuiper@lsr7.net. Please also include your child's teacher in this communication. *Students with a negative lunch account balance will not be allowed to charge snacks*

If your child runs out of lunch money you will receive an automated call from the district with a reminder. If the balance continues to grow Mrs. Kuiper will reach out, as will Mrs. Westacott or Mr. Prickett.

If you want to know your child's balance or what they are purchasing, you can view that on the My School Bucks app. I encourage you to register and keep track of purchases and balances.
