The bell rings at 7:50 AM each day, and learning begins at that time! Students are LATE if they arrive at that time and must be dropped off at the front of the school. If you are dropping your child off at the front after the bell rings, you need to get out with your child, sign them in, and provide our attendance clerk with the reason for your child's tardiness.

• Car Tags- Please keep your car tag hanging and visible until your child is in the car.
• Please keep in mind, that we will not release students past 2:30 PM.
• Updated Contacts- Parents, please review your child's emergency contacts in the parent portal. If someone is not on the list, we cannot release students, even with their license provided. Please update all contact information!
• If a student is dropped off at 7:50 AM or later, you will need to sign in at the front office.
• For any changes in after-school transportation, please contact the office by 2:00 PM so that we have time to relay the message to the student and teacher.
• Label EVERYTHING! At the end of each 9-week period, all unclaimed items (jackets, clothing, shoes, etc.) will be donated. Please write your child's name on their clothing and items so that it can be identified more easily.
• Connect with your child's teacher by signing up for their teacher communication (Remind, Dojo, etc.)

All feeder schools of Tyler High School will be contributing to the 35th Annual Pantry Raid by partnering with East Texas Food Bank.

Our school has set a goal of 1,000 canned goods/non-perishable items. If we meet the goal all students will receive a popsicle party.

The dates to collect the 1,000 canned goods/non-perishable items will start on Tuesday, September 3rd and end on Friday, September 6th.

Non-perishable items include boxed sealed items, jars (plastic only), sealed packages, etc.
