Communication with families is very important to the HES staff.  If are not receiving text messages from HES, please contact Anna Blackmer, Data Manager, to be sure you did not opt out of this option or to be sure we have the correct information on file.  I use the text messaging feature for event reminders or to communicate critical information. For example, I sent a text message out the morning of the Code Yellow. If you did not receive that text, please check with Anna.

2. The parent and/or older sibling must cross the student at the crosswalk by the bus loop.
3. Morning walkers will enter the school building with the bus riders through the cafeteria doors.
