Good morning, HES families! ☀️
As we get into the swing of the new school year, we anticipate heavy traffic during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal. To help keep our students safe and our car rider line moving smoothly, please help us by following these important procedures.
Please make sure your orange car rider tag 🟧 is clearly visible in your vehicle's window. This helps our staff quickly identify cars and get your students loaded safely. If you do not have a tag, you will be asked to go to the front office to verify your identity.
For morning drop-off, all car riders should be dropped off in the lot near Peebles Street 📍. The gate opens at 7:10 AM and closes promptly at 7:38 AM ⏰. If you are in line by this time, you will be able to enter. Students arriving after 7:38 AM must be signed in at the front office. The tardy bell rings at 7:41 AM.
To ensure the safety of all our students, please remember these safety rules:
🚫 Do not drop students off at the front of the school.
📵 Avoid cell phone use while in the car rider line.
➡️ Students should exit from the right passenger side of the vehicle.
🚗 Please pull all the way up when signaled to keep the line flowing.
👤 Stay in your vehicle at all times.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation in keeping our students safe! Let's work together to make drop-off and dismissal a smooth and efficient process for everyone. 😊
The Hempstead Elementary School Leadership Team proudly welcomed a generous donation of backpacks and school supplies from Sedalco to support our students as they head back to school. These backpacks will help ensure our Bobcats are ready to start the year prepared and confident.
We are grateful for community partners who invest in the success of our students and schools.
Rock your GREEN and WHITE and help us kick off the 2025-2026 school year. Meet our Fall Hempstead ISD Athletics teams, coaches, and visit various tables to get more information about supporting our students in the new school year.
