Parents, if you forgot to send $3 with your child to attend the 101 Dalmatians Musical and you would like for him/her to attend, you can message your child's homeroom teacher before 9:15 this morning to let her know you will send the money tomorrow. Thanks.
We are moving our car riders to the gym now. If your child rides a bus, he/she will arrive home about 15-20 minutes later than normal. Thanks for understanding that our number one priority is the safety of our kids.
The first wave of storms has moved through so we will be dismissing our car riders as soon as the lightning subsides and staff/students can get to the gym. Bus riders will be dismissed as soon as buses arrive here at school.
Due to being under a severe thunderstorm warning, we will hold our students in a safe place until this first line passes through. This is for the safety of the kids and staff. Thanks for understanding during this dismissal delay.

HES Afterschool Tutoring has been extended through this Wednesday, March 12th. The extension is due to missing two days because of bad weather. Thanks and remember Afterschool pickup is at 4:30 pm.
This is a reminder that school starts each morning at HES at 7:45 am. Any student arriving after that time is considered tardy and must be signed in through the front office. Please have your child at school before 7:45 am. If he/she will be eating breakfast at school, you will need to have him/her at school no later than 7:30 am in order to give time to eat. Do not drop kids off in the back after 7:45 am--bring them to the front office and sign them in. Thanks for your cooperation!
Due to the threat of severe weather this evening, the AfterSchool Tutoring Classes at HES will be canceled today. All students will be sent home according to their regular dismissal procedures at the end of the regular school day unless parents notify the school before 2 pm. that their child should do something different. Thanks.
