Parent Drop off/Pick Up Traffic Pattern:
During parent drop off/pick up times, you MUST enter from the south entrance (by VRHS) and exit through the north entrance (closest to 1431).
The back and side parking lots are designated for buses only. Please do not use the back or side parking lots to drop off or pick up students.
Please remind your students to utilize the crosswalks on and around school property. We appreciate your help in keeping our students safe by maintaining a safe speed in our school zones and parking lots and being courteous to other drivers.
During the school year, staff members are on duty each day beginning at 8:35 a.m. and ending at 4:40 p.m. Students are not let in the building before 8:35 a.m. regardless of the weather.
New Traffic Signals at HMS North Entrance:
The city of Cedar Park has installed new traffic signals at the intersection of Vista Ridge Blvd. and Golden Arrow Ave. According to the City of Cedar Park:
All four legs of the intersection will have signalized crosswalks with LED blank-out signs.
These signs will illuminate to instruct drivers to either not turn on red or to stop for pedestrians, depending on the pedestrian signal status.
Additional LED signs will restrict turns into the school driveway to buses only during drop-off and pickup times.
We ask ALL student walkers to utilize the signal lights at either HMS (Golden Arrow) or VRHS (Park Street) to cross Vista Ridge Blvd.
All eligible students will be required to REGISTER to RIDE the bus for the 2024-2025 school year. Please use the link provided to be sure that your student is registered to ride the bus if you are planning to utilize LISD transportation services.
Register to Reserve your District Owned Device:
In Leander ISD, we are working to transform student's learning experiences to achieve our vision that all students will graduate with every option open. The Leander Mobile Learning Initiative (mLISD) will support the vision outlined in our Graduate Profile that "Leander ISD learners are empowered to enrich our world and excel in a rapidly changing global society.” In order to help students acheive this vision, LISD families can reserve a district owned device through the Ed Pay Portal at this time.
The Ed Pay portal is open for students to pay the non-refundable security deposit of $40.00 for middle school students. Students who qualify for Free and Reduced meals will not need to pay the annual deposit but will need to turn in a signed acceptance form or register in the EdPay portal. Hardship scholarship opportunities are available, please contact your counselor or send an email to mlisd@leanderisd.org for more information.
