If you wish to enter the building during school hours, you must sign in at the office and get a visitor’s pass. You will need to have your ID with you.

Please do not enter the school before the bell rings to pick up your child unless you have signed your child out in the office. If your child is a bus rider and you will be picking your child up that day, please send a note in his/her folder letting me know so your child is not put on the bus. If you forget to send a note, please call the office and they will give me the message. If your child does not have a note or you do not call your child will ride his/her regular departure schedule.

  6. Snacks • Your child will have an opportunity to eat a snack provided by you at the end of the day while packing up to leave. • You can provide a healthy snack. • It should not be messy or take long to eat. • Also, your child may bring a bottle of water to drink throughout the day.

  7. Bus Riders • Please let me know what bus number your child will be riding. (fill out and turn in tonight) • If you normally pick your child up and decide later in the year you want him/her to ride the bus, please call the bus barn to get the information and then let me know what bus number your child is assigned to. • Bus Barn number: (830)393-5335 or • (830)216-7930.
