Arrival at HPE

Important things to remember to make sure your student is not tardy:

Students must be inside the school doors by 7:45 (8:45 on Fridays). Anyone arriving after that time will be considered tardy.
All school doors close by 7:45. Anyone arriving after that time will need to go through the front doors to be let in.
Announcements for the day begin at 7:46. If you are arriving at 7:46 or after you may be asked to wait a couple of minutes until the announcements are finished.

We appreciate your support.

Leaving Early?

Help us ease front office congestion! Pick your student up from school by 2 p.m., especially on Fridays.
Minimizing commotion the last 1/2 hour of the day helps us meet safety protocols.
Is your student leaving early? Notify our front office staff (816.986.2250 or heather.wathan@lsr7.net) by Noon.

We'll inform necessary parties, and prepare your student to exit efficiently when you visit.
