Message from the Principal
Dear Hebron Families,
I'm Nikki Henry, the principal at Hebron Elementary, and this is my family newsletter, Hebron Happenings. We are looking forward to a great school year!
This newsletter will provide a lot of information. Please read it carefully to familiarize yourself with Hebron and the expectations for the beginning of the school year.
On Fridays, you will receive a Hebron Happenings School Newsletter via email, that you provided in your annual registration forms, starting August 19th. Please make sure your email is updated when you update your school forms. We also post the newsletter on our website, Facebook and the teacher should Dojo you the newsletter weekly.
Remember, in order to have your teacher letter mailed, you need to update your school forms in Final Forms https://lakewoodlocal-oh.finalforms.com/ . Directions on how to do this can be found at the link below on our Back-to-School page. Letters will start to be mailed out today if your forms are complete.
In this together!
Mrs. Henry
Class Assignments
If you are a kindergarten parent that did not come to screening, or just moved into the district you need to do NEW student registration: https://filecabinet.eschoolview.com/68DDDE57-BA76-4A7A-9327-09ACDE5E5A8E/dd61ebda-dc5c-4a18-a261-b64488c12d60.pdf

Kindergarten parents, there will be a meeting at 5:15pm in your child's room.
If you need bus information, you can stop by our gym.

The office will be open, but can only accommodate one person at a time, so hopefully we can help you prior to open house or at another time.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Daily Schedule Overview
8:30- School doors open
8:50 Tardy Bell
3:18- Dismissal begins
If you plan to provide transportation to/from school for your child, please note our drop-off time is no earlier than 8:30 a.m. No staff members will be on duty for parent drop-off before 8:30 a.m. If you arrive before then, you must wait.
After 8:50, please drop your child off near the office doors so they can buzz in. They will go straight to the office to get their tardy pass.
Because of safety and limited visitor restrictions, families will not be able to enter the buildings with students. Thanks in advance for your understanding in this matter.
Upon arrival each day, all students will go directly to their homerooms.
Recess is scheduled after lunch each day.
Dismissal is set to begin at 3:18 for all students.
Pick-up and drop-off by parents will take place in front of the school at the middle doors with the ramp. The busses are located around the back and east side of the building. No traffic is allowed in the bus area between 8:15 – 9:00 and 2:45 – 3:45.
Any student signed out before 3:15 will be considered an early dismissal and this will count towards perfect attendance and total absenteeism/ truancy figures. In order to take advantage of every minute of instruction for our students, parents are asked to refrain from signing out students early except in the case of an emergency or medical appointment. Parents are asked to schedule appointments, whenever possible, at times that do not negatively impact their child’s attendance. Parents will NOT be admitted to the building to wait for pick-up students.
All student pick-ups HAVE to be picked up in a car. We cannot permit parents walking up to pick-up students from the side walk.
We'll do our best to create a smooth routine but thanks in advance for your patience in the first few days of school as we figure it all out together. Drive safely!

- Bus: You should receive an email from info@ezrouting.com. This is a parent portal to view bussing information and communicate directly with transportation. Please make sure to create an account.
- Car Riders: If your child is a car rider, please REMAIN in your car. Also, if their seat can be on the passenger side, that helps with pick-up and dismissal.
- Class lists –will not be posted. Please update your forms to get your child's letter.
- Dismissal: Dismissal is at 3:18 for pick-ups. Walkers are dismissed at 3:30. Buses begin to be called from 3:18-3:40 depending on arrival. Please make sure your child's teacher knows how he/she is getting home and proper arrangements have been made on the first day of school. It would help to have a note to the teacher on the first day as to how your child will be getting home. If you are picking up students by car, line up on Deacon street, but come by way of Hamilton Avenue. Student dismissal plans or changes should be submitted to the school secretary in writing or by phone before 2:30 p.m. We will not make dismissal changes based on a child's request, we must get a note, or phone call from a parent. Please have a picture ID available each time you wish to pick up your child during school hours. Those picking up students must be on the child’s registration or emergency information. This is for the safety and protection of your children. Thank you for your understanding.
- Kindergarten Appointments – August 18.19 and 22. You should have a time already scheduled. If you do not, please contact Hebron Elementary to set up your appointment.
- Parent Newsletters – future newsletters will be emailed via Final forms. If you haven’t updated your forms for this year, please be sure your numbers and email are correct to receive notifications. Directions how to do this are under Update Forms in this newsletter.
- Visitors-Because we are so adamant about making sure your child is safe, we ask that you and all visitors go directly to the office when you enter the building.
- Water Bottles- Please have your student bring a water bottle with WATER. Our building gets very hot and we do have water bottle fillers.
- School supplies – a list is in this letter by grade level and on our website and mailed with your welcome teacher letter.
- SCHOOL STARTS AT 8:50am SHARP. If you bring your child in at 8:51am, your child will be considered late and they will need to report to the office for a tardy slip. Parents, every minute counts! Please have your child to school on time, and please be mindful to minimize early leaves. House Bill 410 counts every minute and we want your child to have a great attendance record.
