Dear Santa Rita Families and Friends,

We invite you all to our annual Thanksgiving luncheon on Wednesday, November 20, 2024. Please come and join in the festivities during lunch with your child. Below are the SRE campus processes that will be enforced on the day of the event.

• You MUST have a valid state issued or photo ID on the day of the event
• LHISD policy is "No ID, No Entry".
• No backpacks/personal belongings sent to school on this day
• If possible, only send your child with a water bottle & personal lunch if they are not eating the Thanksgiving Day meal
• On the day of the event, you will only enter & exit the cafeteria and gym doors (depending on your child's lunch location)
• Please notify your child's teacher by Monday, November 18th if you plan to sign your child out early.
• If you plan to sign your child out early, they will leave with you from the event if they have no personal belongings or other siblings that need to be checked out
• Siblings will not be allowed to attend other siblings grade level Thanksgiving Luncheons
• If you plan to sign your child out early, but they have siblings or will have someone else checking them out that is not a family member listed in Skyward, you will have to go to the main office to follow our normal checkout process with our receptionist.
• Please make sure that all appropriate family members are listed in your Skyward account as family or emergency contacts as your child will NOT be released to the adult that is not present in your Skyward account.
• Once you sign out your child with their classroom teacher or with the front receptionist, they MUST leave campus and are not allowed to return for ANY reason. This includes, trying to attend other sibling lunches.
• If your student is counted absent, they are not able to attend ANY campus events.
• Parking will also be VERY limited. Please park along the streets or in the HUB parking lot and we highly encourage as many families to walk as possible.
• Please arrive 20 minutes early to your child's lunch time to check in and purchase your meal ticket. Lines will be long, and you won't be able to just walk in and get your tray.

Again, I also HIGHLY encourage all visitors to walk to campus if possible on the day of the event, or utilize the HUB parking lot. We are anticipating a very high volume of visitors and parking will be VERY limited.

We look forward to seeing you all!
