IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Morning Drop Off - The building opens at 7:15am for students. We do not have the proper supervision prior to that time. Students will be considered tardy after 7:50am. All car riders should be dropped off in the car rider line and not in front of the building. If you have a preschool student (and siblings), you may drop them off at the preschool drop off (this area is marked with orange cones). Extra traffic in front of the building during drop off creates an unsafe situation for our families and staff.

Student Quick Pay - Please set up the student quick pay account for your child if you have not already done so. This secure system is the preferred method of payment for student fees, yearbooks, field trips, etc. You will be able to use the same account through middle and high school if you remain in our school district. This account should be set up for your child even if you do not currently owe any fees. To create an account, please have your child's student ID number and visit this link - Student Quick Pay If you do not know your child's student ID number, please contact the front office.

HWES Social Media & Website - We encourage all families to follow us on social media (HWES Facebook, HWES Instagram & HWES X) and visit our website (www.lexrich5.org/hwes) for all the latest information.

GRITS WITH GRANDS

Please RSVP through this Google Form by Wednesday, August 21,2024 if you plan to attend.

WAS YOUR STUDENT ABSENT?

Per our student/parent handbook: A written note, medical excuse or electronic excuse form must be submitted for each absence.

Save time and gas by submitting your excuses online using this link - Online Excuse Form. You can upload medical excuses on this form, so no need to make a special trip to school. A link to this form is also at the bottom of each school letter and at the top of our website homepage.

If you prefer, medical excuses may also be faxed to the school at 803-476-3820.
