Hola HHE Familia!
Our school attendance has been great! Thank you for bringing your students to school everyday and on time. This is so important to make sure your child does not miss out on any learning. The 3-week grading period has ended and Progress Reports will go home by Monday, Sept. 11th. Thank you families for all you do to support the HHE familia.
Have a safe and restful Labor Day Holiday!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cartwright

Attendance Matters
School attendance has been great! Please make sure your students are in class on time and ready to learn each day.
7:45 Doors are open and Breakfast begins.
8:05 Students are tardy. Breakfast is over. Teaching begins.
A good routine can help mornings go smoothly. It can look something like this: Wake up, wash face, eat breakfast, get dressed, brush teeth, grab your backpack, leave for school. A picture schedule can be extra helpful for younger students. Helpful hint: prepare the student’s backpack the night before so the communication folder is signed, homework is complete, and the backpack is put in the same place each night before bed.
Your child can earn Eagle Bucks for coming to school every day and on time. Thank you families for bringing your children to school every day!
Campus Safety Procotols
In order to keep our students, faculty, and staff save, IDs are REQUIRED for ANYONE entering the building. IDs are also required to pickup a student from campus for any reason. Students will not be released without the appropriate identification. Thank you families for your patience and understanding!

• Tuesday, September 19
• Friday, November 17
• Wednesday, December 13
On these early release days, students will have 4.5 hours of instructional time. For Highland Hills Elementary, this means students arrive at their normal start time of 7:45 a.m. for Breakfast, Tardy Bell at 8:05 a.m., with an early dismissal time of 12:35 p.m. There will be NO after school Challenge Program on these days.
For our full instructional calendar, please visit www.saisd.net/calendar.
