Hola!
Each year from September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. The 2018 Hispanic Heritage Month theme is: “Hispanics: One Endless Voice to Enhance our Traditions.” The theme invites us to reflect on Hispanic American’s tradition, history and culture.
The ESL and Spanish departments will be hosting Heritage Night on October 10th from 3:05 – 5:00 in the cafeteria this year. ESL students from 4th-8th will be participating as well as LOTE students.
The Scholastic Book Fair will run from October 8th-12th. Special programs include:
Lunch with Grandparents*: Monday, October 8th
Bring a lunch to share with your prince or princess!
Students in Kindergarten 11:00-11:30 a.m.
Students in 1st grade 11:08-11:38 a.m.

Students in grades 3-4, 11:20-11:50 a.m.

*Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your student’s lunch period. For students in grades K-3, it is extremely important to let their teacher know (either by note or email) that they will be eating lunch with a grandparent so that they can be sent directly to the commons area when they are dismissed for lunch.

Parents,
We have noticed students being dropped off at HSE even before 6:30 A.M. Please regard the following.
- There are no staff members on duty until 7:00 A.M. to watch the students outside.
- Students are not allowed in the building before 7:20 A.M. unless they are reporting to a team practice.
- Therefore, we are not responsible for those who are here before 7:00 A.M.
- Please remember the final drop off time is 7:45, and students will be counted as tardy if they enter the building at or later than 7:50 A.M.
The staff at HSE is concerned about the safety of our students. Please, do not drop off students before 7:00 A.M. If you arrive earlier than 7:00 A.M. please stay with your child until the 7:00 A.M. outdoor supervision begins.
Let’s work together to keep our students safe.
Thank You for your cooperation.

New drop-off/parking/pickup rules will be implemented on Tuesday with the biggest changes happening for Advancement High School students and their buses.
Be sure to check out both maps so we can have a smooth transition and, hopefully, a much more efficient parking lot!
HSE will be issuing numbered hanging car tags to replace the windshield stickers currently used at dismissal. The car tags are easier to transfer from car to car and the larger print makes the numbers easier to read. Tags will be neon yellow this year and will change color every year.
We will begin issuing car tags on September 5th
Receiving Car Tags:
- Car tags will be sent home with students who already have a number assigned to them from previous years
- Each student will get 2 copies of the new car tag; extras will be made by request
- For students who are NEW to HSE, parents will need to come to the front office and show ID to receive their number*
* Parent/Guardian must present ID and be listed in Skyward to verify they are legally able to pick up the child - There will also be an opportunity to receive your car tags during Info Nights
Displaying Car Tags:
- Car tags must be displayed in the window, whether it’s hung from rear view mirror or on the dashboard, in order to have the student released to the parent
- Stickers need to be discarded if they do not match the number on the tag
- If the parent shares their car tag and number with anyone, they assume the responsibility for their child’s safety
- Official implementation starts on September 10th – if you do not have your car tag you will need to park and claim your tag.
