Huggins Community,

We wrapped up the week celebrating some very special people...GRANDPARENTS! Thank you to everyone that joined us for lunch and to our amazing volunteers for assisting all the guests on campus. Grandparents Day is officially Sunday, September 8th. 💗

This week our kindergarten, first, and second grade hounds participated in Innovative School Day by engaging in a library lesson, science lab, counselor lesson, and Maker Spaces. We are excited to keep our rotations going this upcoming week. Please be sure to review the schedule below under "Upcoming Events" to know when your child has Innovative School Day.

Just a quick reminder that we are heading into our final week of our campus fundraiser. Thank you to everyone that has participated thus far. It's not too late to place your last minute orders...including those super cute Huggins Cups (see below). The Gaming Truck will be here September 30th for students that sell 15 items and the LIMO will be here on October 7th to pick up students and take them for ice cream (25 items).

Please be sure to scroll through the newsletter in it's entirety! There are lots of important flyers about upcoming events including choir information, order forms for House Shirts, and details about a special fifth grade project.

In case you haven't heard...we are expecting a mild cool front this weekend, and I am ready for it! Hopefully you will have some time this weekend to enjoy it! Bring on all things pumpkin spice! 🎃

Sincerely,

Bethany Cunningham

The safety of your children is our top priority, and adhering to our established car rider procedures helps us maintain a smooth and organized process during drop-off and pick-up times. Here are a few key points to remember:

• Turn Right into the Huggins Car Rider Driveway: The entrance to our car rider line is off of Katy-Fulshear Road. To get in line, you must be heading south on Katy-Fulshear. Cars are not permitted to make a left-hand turn into the driveway.
• Stay in Line: When entering the Huggins driveway for drop-off or pick-up, please stay in a single file line.This helps avoid any congestion and ensures a steady flow of traffic. Do not pull off and attempt to pass cars in line, as this creates a safety hazard.
  
• Follow Staff Instructions: Our staff members are trained to guide and assist during drop-off and pick-up times. Please follow their instructions promptly and patiently. Their guidance is aimed in creating a safe environment for everyone.
  
• No Cell Phones: While in the car rider line, please refrain from using your cell phone. This allows you to remain focused on the line and surrounding area, helping to ensure a safe environment for our students and staff.
• Arrival and Dismissal Times: It's important to arrive at the designated times for drop-off and pick-up. Remember, our doors open at 7:15am. Staff will begin opening doors at that time. Please do not drop off your student before 7:15am. Students that arrive after 7:45 will be counted tardy. If you arrive to school after the start time and there is no longer line or staff outside, you will need to park and walk your child into the building to check-in and receive a tardy slip. Please note that all change of transportation changes must be made before 2:00pm. In the event you need to pick up your child early, please do so by 2:30pm.
• Car Rider Tags: You must have a 24-25 car rider tag hanging from your rearview mirror to pick up your student in the car rider line. In the event that you do not have your tag, you will need to park in the lot and go to the office. Your child will be released to you with proper ID and after the car rider line is cleared.

By adhering to these procedures, we can collectively create a safe and efficient car rider process. We greatly appreciate your cooperation, understanding, and patience...especially the first few weeks of school!
