• Please use the crosswalks when crossing the street.
• Please use the front car rider line and back car rider line to drop of car riders.
• Students should be released from cars on the passenger side so they are closest to the building and out of harms way as other cars proceed.
• Please have your family car rider tag displayed in the front window of your vehicle.
• Thank you for letting the front office and teacher know when there is a change in dismissal. Please let daycare know too!

Wear your Astro's gear or orange clothing because Orbit will be here to help our Bears learn how to prevent bullying.

Please remember to send in an excuse if your child is absent from school. This excuse can be emailed, handwritten or submitted electronically using the absence form. Thank you for your help with this!

Regular attendance is critical to learning in the classroom. When your elementary or middle school child is absent from school, please note the following important reminders:

Inform the school within 48 hours to mark the absence as excused using one of these options:

• Fill out the online absence form at humbleisd.net/attendancecontacts -or-

• Email the campus attendance office -or-

• Send in a paper note, or take a photo with your phone and send it to the attendance office -or-

• Call the school’s attendance office

For medical or dental appointments:

• Get a note at the appointment and upload it into the online absence form at humbleisd.net/attendancecontacts -or-

• Turn it in to the attendance office within 48 hours.

Did You Know?

Dated health care appointment notes allow the school to mark your child present if they attended any part of the school day, such as before or after their appointment.

When students stay in school until 10 a.m. (Elementary) or 10:40 a.m. (Middle School), it ensures the school receives full funding for the day. Your support in ensuring your child’s attendance not only helps them academically, but also boosts the school’s success.

Thank you for partnering with us to provide the best educational experience for our students. For more information, please visit Important Attendance Information for Parents or view the Attendance Reminders for Elementary & Middle School flyer.

5th Grade Only:

The Growth and Development Curriculum for 5th grade will be presented on Friday, October 4, 2024. This is a very basic overview of the body and the changes that can be expected in middle school.

Parents will have the opportunity to preview the material on Thursday, October 3rd, at 8:25 am at BBE. This will last about 35 minutes. Please sign in with the front office.

Thank you,

Nurse James
