Back To School Reminders:
- Volunteer Background Check: Volunteers are an important part of student achievment and school success! Last year, Seven Hills Elementary was named the NISD Partners in Education Campus of the Year for logging the most volunteer hours! Our goal is to keep that distinction at Seven Hills and log more than 9,000 hours. We need your help! All volunteers must complete the background check each year. Please take a minute to complete this before the first day of school. Volunteer Background Check: https://nisd.ezcommunicator.net/edu/northwest/ezcomm/VolunteerRegistration.aspx?app=0

Kindergarten Star Camp: Thursday, August 15th from 6:00 - 7:30
At camp, Kindergarten students will join Seven Hills staff for fun and exciting back to school activities and games. While the students are busy getting to know the school and staff, parents will meet with campus administrators, Kindergarten teachers, and the PTA to learn about Kindergarten, Seven Hills, and ways to get involved at Seven Hills Elementary.
We hope you will be able to join us for this fun and informational event. We understand that some families may be unable to attend Kindergarten Star Camp. The parent information sessions will be repeated at the Seven Hills Curriculum Night in September.
Please note, siblings are welcome at the event, but will stay with their parents instead of joining their Kindergarten brothers and sisters.
Meet the Teacher: Thursday, August 24th from 5:30 - 7:00
Meet the Teacher is a great opportunity to meet your new teacher, see the classroom, bring school supplies, confirm transportation to and from school, get car rider signs, join the PTA and more! If you ordered school supply packs through EPI, those will be delivered to your child's classroom.
Seven Hills Traffic Patterns:
In an effort to provide for the safe and efficient arrival and dismissal of students, staff, and drivers, we will continue with the morning drop off and afternoon pick up procedures previously in place . Please understand that the first week of school always has increased traffic. Thank you in advance for your patience and flexibility as we work to ensure all students arrive and leave safely.
2017 - 2018 Traffic Patterns:
- Buses will drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon using the front circle drive. For bus route information please call Durham Transportation Services: 940ā242ā3900.
- Daycare and Pre-K/PPCD/PACEE (and siblings of PK/PPCD/PACEE students) will use the front āLā drive for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal.
- Car riders will drop off in the morning and pick up in the afternoon using the back circle drive. Student leaders will be assisting with morning drop-off in the back. Students should not be dropped off before a staff member is on duty to receive students.
