HES Weekly Update

Dear Families,

As we approach winter break, the next three weeks of school are incredibly important. During this time, students will take their Middle-of-the-Year (MOY) assessments. These tests are crucial for:

• Tracking student progress.
• Guiding teacher instruction.
• Ensuring students receive the right support and interventions.

To help your child succeed, please ensure they attend school every day and arrive rested and ready to do their best. Your support makes a significant difference in their learning journey.

Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s education!

First bell rings at 7:55 ~ Tardy Bell rings at 8:00*

Learning begins at 8:00*

Students who arrive after 8:00 must be signed in by a parent or guardian in the front office.

Please do not park in the drop-off zone, as it causes a traffic jam and creates safety concerns for all students. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

All students should go directly to the playground before school starts, where they can also get breakfast. Please do not send students through the front office unless it’s after 8:00.

All visitors must have a valid ID and check in at the front office. This includes parents who walk students into the building and want to stay past the 8:00 bell.

We kindly ask all parents to update their contact information in PowerSchool as soon as possible. This is how we reach families in case of an emergency, so having the most current information is crucial. We still have 48 families who need to update their information. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and connected! Please reach out to Amy Lujan is you need any support - alujan@garfieldre2.net
