Reminders
- Spicewood Park Elementary runs regular drills to ensure safety at our school. We have a monthly fire drill as well as "Safety Week" twice a year to include all drills. Safety is our priority at SPE!
- When students attend school regularly and on time, they are more likely to succeed in academics. They tend to have fewer discipline problems, develop better study habits, and learn more. Please ensure your students are attending school daily and on time to increase their success!
- Please do not release students from vehicles at drop off prior to 7:30 a.m. Please wait for our staff to assist in safely guiding students inside the building.
- Please remember you cannot check-out students after 2:30 p.m. due to safety reasons. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
