✔️ IMPORTANT REMINDERS
BIRTHDAY TREATS AND FAVOR BAGS - Birthday treats MUST be pre-packaged, individually packed store bought items. Please do not bring any cakes, cupcakes, cookie cakes as they are not already individually wrapped from the store. Pre-packaged birthday treats or favor bags will be handed out at the end of the day and sent home with students for them to enjoy.
PHOTO ID REMINDER - Please make sure you are bringing a photo ID with you when checking in to eat lunch with your student, or when checking out your student. Our office staff will be scanning your ID every time you visit our campus. The safety of our students and our staff are a top priority, and appreciate your understanding and assistance with this process. When exiting, we ask that you turn in your visitor badge with our front office to be signed out.
DISMISSAL TRANSPORTATION CHANGES - Please make sure you call our front office at 254-316-5000 no later than 2:00 p.m. for any dismissal transportation changes for your student. We will get a note down to your student's teacher to let them know of the change. Sometimes Teachers miss notes in backpacks or remind messages about dismissal changes so it is very important to notify the front office so that they can communicate those changes. Please also give our office a call if someone other than yourself (parent/guardian) will be checking out, or picking your student up early.
STUDENT LUNCHES - Families are welcome to eat lunch with their students any day of the week. We ask that all visitors bring their ID and sign in at the front office for a visitors pass. We do not allow food deliveries from any delivery service to the campus for students (ex. Doordash, Favor, Waiter, Grubhub). Parents/Guardians may drop food off in the front office for their student to enjoy, but we cannot accept food deliveries from a delivery service. Students who do not have a lunch from home are always allowed to eat a tray from the cafeteria.
