    Bus Transportation
    Families wishing to utilize bus transportation for the 2025-2026 school year need to make sure to register by going to the Bus Rider Registration to apply. If your child is not registered for am and pm, they are not counted and allowed to ride the bus. Even if your child was registered last year, you need to make sure to reapply. Please do so early, as it takes time for routes to be approved. All students will receive new bus tags for backpacks at the beginning of the new school year.

    Current and Returning Families Information
    Walker and Carpool Tags
    Walker permission/agreement forms for the 25-26 school year are now being sent home to families of students who are currently walkers.  If you are planning for your student to be a walker again in the new year, please fill out and return these forms at your earliest convenience.  Please note, the front office MUST have a new form completed and signed by parents every year for students to be allowed to walk.  All students will receive new walker tags for backpacks at the beginning of the new school year.
     
    Move Up Day for returning students
    HGES will host their annual “Move Up Day” to provide students the opportunity to get to know their future teacher and learn about grade level expectations for the 2025-2026 school year. We strive to create a welcoming environment and help the students feel more comfortable and excited about the upcoming school year! This will happen during the school day on May 29th (track 1) & June 26th (Tracks 2,3,&4) at 2:00 pm. 


    New to HGES Families Information
    New to HGES Tour - June 30 from 3:00 pm-5:00pm
    All new families (Grades 1-5) to HGES are welcome to attend a special tour date that will provide new students and families an opportunity to see the school, meet staff, receive carpool information and other important information for the new year. This will be a free flow opportunity and will be led by our staff to show new families how HGES operates. We hope that you are able to attend. Kindergarten will have Staggered entry in lieu of this tour.
