Serene Hills Needs a Vision Statement!
A vision statement describes the ideal future state of the organization. It articulates what the organization is trying to accomplish.
Serene Hills currently has a mission statement: The Serene Hills Elementary community commits to engaging every student in innovative, collaborative learning focused on growth and to igniting a passion for learning in which everyone is valued.
However, our school is currently without a vision statement. This summer team leaders and campus administration came together to reflect upon and discuss values, priorities, and our vision for our school. Below are several drafts of potential vision statements.
Please take a moment and vote for your favorite by Aug. 19th!

First Day of School: Aug. 16th
- Doors open at 7:20 AM.
- School day 7:40-3:00
- Parents that wish to walk their children back to class may do so this first short week. On the first day ONLY, parents can forgo signing in. However, the rest of the week and all year, we must abide by our safety and security protocols and have all visitors raptor in. Please plan accordingly.
Reminders for Day 1
2) Walkers- Most students will also come home with a Smart Tag attached to their backpacks after the first day. Please take a picture of each students' Smart Tag on your phone. If you are picking your student up from the Walker Porch, you will need to show a picture of your Smart Tag to the staff member on duty for your student to be released to you. Is a neighbor picking up your child? Update this change as an exception in the Smart Tag system and send your neighbor the picture of your child's Smart Tag to show our staff when they arrive to pick up your child.
3) Your students' teachers will communicate to you when your students will have PE. Please remember to have your students wear tennis shoes on those days.
4) We are excited for our families to join our Serene Hills community. It is such a wonderful place to be! My staff is completely understanding of the nerves the students will be feeling, especially for new to campus students, and will meet them with kindness and compassion. We will have numerous adults available to help navigate the students to their classrooms. The teachers will be waiting outside their classroom doors to greet them.
Message From Nurse Erin Tabarrok:
Hello!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!
Emergency care plans must be updated every school year. Please see the following forms if your child has asthma, seizures or allergies requiring epinephrine. Any forms completed over the summer can be faxed to 512-533-7401 or emailed to tabarroke@ltisdschools.org.
If your child is getting vaccines over the summer, please make sure all records are signed/stamped by the doctor. Feel free to email tabarroke@ltisdschools.org or fax the records to 512-533-7401. All 5th grade medical files will transfer over to the middle school campus nurse. Any updated vaccines should be sent to the middle school nurse :) !
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!
