Due to limited space & safety concerns, only one lunch visitor per student is allowed each week.

Friends of the child may not dine with the parent, and food may not be provided to other students.

Parent & student pairs may dine at the Bistro tables. Please do not remove chairs for parent/student pairs at the Bistro tables. Parents with small children are encouraged to eat on the stage, where seating is more accomodating for small children.

Illness: State rules require schools to exclude students with certain illnesses from school for certain periods of time. For example, a child with a fever over 100 degrees must stay out of school until fever-free for 24 hours without use of fever-reducing medications. Students with diarrheal illnesses must stay home until they are diarrhea-free without use of diarrhea-suppressing medications for 24 hours.

Lice: Head lice is common among children. Although not an illness or a disease, head lice spread through head-to-head contact during play, sports, nap time, and when children share things like brushes, combs, hats, and headphones. If observation indicates that a student has head lice, the school nurse will contact the student’s parent to discuss a treatment plan using an FDA-approved medicated shampoo or cream rinse that may be purchased from any drug or grocery store. After the student undergoes one treatment, the parent should contact the school nurse to discuss the treatment used. The nurse can also offer additional recommendations, including subsequent treatments, how best to get rid of lice, and how to prevent lice from returning.

As your child's school counselor, I will do whatever I can to ensure your student has everything they need to be successful at school and at home. If you need assistance, fill out the form below so I can do my best to assist connecting you with the appropriate local resources.

• The first several spaces are reserved for Fast Pass Auction winners. Those parents must be in line and ready to pick-up before the line begins to move, so this will not hold up car movement.

• All vehicles must have a car rider tag hanging from their rear-view mirror in order to pick up your child in the line.

• If you are in need of a tag or a replacement tag, please park and enter the school office to obtain one. You will then need to join the car rider line. Replacement tags will be $1.

• Please pull out of line to buckle your child if they need assistance, as this can delay the line.

• If you pick up your child at 4:20 or later, he/she will be taken to the Adventures After School Program. You will need to pull up to the same side of the building and call the number posted at the exterior door for your child to be brought to you. This service is provided for a fee. All campus staff, with the exception of Adventures employees, leave as soon as dismissal is completed.

If you need information about transportation, please contact the MISD transportation department at 281-252-2221.

Their webpage provides route information and approximate times for pick-up and drop-off.

As you prepare for the start of school, did you know that the district offers childcare programs for students both before and after school?

The Early Morning Childcare program is offered free to all families and begins at 6:30 AM at the elementary and intermediate campuses.

The After School Adventures program is offered until 6:30 PM at the elementary and intermediate campuses at a low cost to families.

Visit the link for full program details, additional information, and to register. Registration is required for both programs. https://www.magnoliaisd.org/departments/childcare

WES trialed Active Start this past week. Your child may have talked about being able to go outside in the morning before school started. We had hoped to allow early-arriving students to play on the playground before instruction began. Keeping grade levels separated on the playground, making sure the right grade levels were in the correct locations in the building, supervising breakfast lines, and ensuring students obtained breakfast before the bell was a task that we simply do not have enough staff for at this time. We may try Active Start again in the Spring semester, with grand improvements to our plan.

WES campus hours are 7:30 am-4:35 pm.
