HSA-Bryan Newsletter

As we partner together to keep our school campus safe, organized, and welcoming for every student, we would like to share a gentle reminder regarding our morning drop-off schedule.

Please note that school staff will not be on duty to supervise students prior to 7:25 a.m.

For the safety and well-being of all children, we ask that families refrain from dropping off students before staff members arrive on duty. If you arrive before 7:25 a.m., please remain in your vehicle with your student until staff members are visible and on duty.

If you require early drop-off prior to 7:25 a.m., please utilize our morning bus routes to ensure your child travels safely under adult supervision, as on-site supervision does not begin until 7:25 a.m. To sign up for the morning bus route, please visit the front office or contact Mrs. Crow at april.crow@harmonytx.org.

We appreciate your cooperation, patience, and ongoing support in keeping our students safe each morning!
