We anticipate a very busy front office during the first week of school and appreciate your patience as we work to serve every family as efficiently as possible. Parents will be asked to sign in to receive assistance. Registration will
not take place on the first day of school. It will resume on August 23, 2022.
Visiting Classes: Parents must enter the front office and be scanned in to enter the building. Please do not block other cars or park in the car rider line. All visitors must enter through the front doors. Parents will be allowed to walk their child to the classroom door for the first 3 days of school only. We will not allow parents to the classroom after Wednesday, August 24.
Breakfast & Lunch visits: Parents may visit breakfast beginning the first day of school. Lunch visits with parents will begin September 6, 2022. This ensures that we have time to teach our Hornets all the proper procedures to ensure a safe and efficient school environment. All Hutchison students will receive free breakfast and lunch this school year.
Name Tags: Please place a name tag on your student with name, grade level, and teacher name. This is especially helpful for students who are hesistant to speak. Students will be assisted by staff throughout the building at all times.
Smart Tags: All students will receive a Smart Tag with their picture on a lanyard. Smart Tag Information
Students are required to wear their Smart Tag daily regardless of their grade or method of transportation. Hutchison will provide Smart Tags during the 1st week of school. Any replacement Smart Tags can be purchased for $5 from the front office. We encourage all parents, mandatory for bus riders of students in PK/K, to sign up for the Smart Tag Parent Portal. Smart Tag Login
Car riders: Our doors open at 7:00am. Please do not drop your child off before this time. There is no adult supervision before 7:00am. The car line during the first week of school will be long. Arrival prior to 7:15 is encouraged. We appreciate your patience.
Bus riders: LCISD Transportation is highly recommended for all students who are eligible. The buses are the first mode of transportation to leave each day. The buses will load and leave early the first 4 days of school. Parents are advised to arrive at the bus stops early on these days. Give your child’s bus a 15-minute window before and after the published time as drivers work to ensure everyone is accounted for and dropped off at the correct stop. PK and K students will only be released to an authorized adult listed in the SMART Tag System. (see the link above) Please bring your ID to the bus stop on the first day for verification.
Daycares: We will have the Gingerbread after school program on campus this year. Registration is available by emailing twkaminski@sbcglobal.net or visiting the website at www.gbhdaycare.com. Please ensure that your child's teacher knows the daycare name at Meet the Teacher. This will also be confirmed on the first day of school.
Transportation changes: Transportation changes MUST be made before 2:00 PM. Please call the office to indicate a change for the way your child normally goes home. These are delivered to the classrooms at 2:00pm. Therefore, we cannot accept changes after 2:00 pm. If you want to check your child out early for appointments, it must be done by 2:00 pm. We will not release students for early pick up after 2:00 pm. This information is in the LCISD Student Handbook. Please try and keep the way your child goes home as consistent as possible. This decreases the likelihood of a mistake occurring.
Walkers/Bikers: PK/K students will be released to a parent/guardian only. Parents are not allowed to walk up to the school to meet your children. If your child is a walker, you are saying that they are responsible enough to get home on their own without adult assistance. If you do not want your child to walk home without an adult, please make sure to communicate that with the teacher prior to the first day of school. If they have older/younger siblings that they will walk home with, please communicate that information to the teachers as well.
