Welcome Back!

WELCOME BACK

We were so excited to welcome students back to school today! We had a great first day and hope your students came home excited about the year to come. Please read the newsletter carefully for important updates, changes, and resources available for the 2017-2018 school year!

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL UPDATE

Morning drop-off is along the FEEDER ONLY. Please do not turn down Sampson Street. If students arrive late, you drop off on Sampson and make sure they enter the main entrance.

Afternoon pick-up is along Jefferson Street, behind the school. We are working to make it a no parking zone from 7am-9am and 2pm-3pm, however in the meantime, we appreciate your patience as we work out the pick-up line.

LUNCH APPLICATION

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Our goal is to have 100% of our students complete a lunch application online this year. Even though HISD is providing free meals for every student this year, the lunch application is linked to several important items. Testing fee waivers, college application fees, summer program opportunities, and scholarship eligibility are often determined by lunch application status. Please take 5 minutes to complete the online application today!
