Carpool - All Tracks In!

With all tracks in, we will see an increase in carpool traffic on Monday! We encourage you to carpool with neighbors and friends whenever possible to minimize the number of cars on campus. YOU MUST have carpool tags for all students you are picking up.

 

In the morning, please plan to come EARLY.  As a reminder, we do close the gate at 8:25am and students will then need to check in at the front office after this time. If we make the decision to split traffic, we will do so when another staff member comes to direct traffic. DO NOT begin exiting students at the front of the building from cars unattended without a staff member present.

 

Please be sure to pull all the way up in the carpool line to keep the line flowing.

 

If you are in the lane that backs up to the back of the middle school parking lot where buses go, please leave a space in the line so that buses can get through. When buses can’t get through that backs us up. 

 

Thank you for your help in keeping the carpool line moving quickly and safely!

 

School Safety Reminders

As a reminder, our school system has plans and procedures in place to protect your child and communicate with you in the event of an emergency. This includes monthly fire drill practice, regular review of lockdown drill procedures, and twice yearly lockdown drills. We will have another lockdown drill at some point later this spring.

 

We will be reviewing these procedures with all students again next week and reminding students of the importance of following all safety protocols including never letting anyone into the building at any door and listening to all teacher directions during drills. As a point of clarification, lockdown procedures at HES include exiting to the greenway in the event that students are out at recess and there is a lockdown drill or code red called. 

 

As a reminder, please remember to bring your photo ID when checking into the building as we will continue to screen all visitors to the building at the front door!

 

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
