SRE News

Dear SRE Families,

What an incredible start we've had to the 2026–2027 school year! It has been such a joy to welcome our Wranglers back to campus and see our hallways once again filled with smiling faces, excitement, and a love of learning. As I visit classrooms each day, I am already seeing students building new friendships, establishing classroom routines, and diving into engaging learning experiences. Our teachers and staff have worked tirelessly to prepare for a successful year, and I couldn't be more proud of the welcoming environment they have created for every child.

Thank you for helping make the first days of school such a success. Your support with arrival and dismissal procedures, communication, and ensuring students arrive ready to learn has made a tremendous difference. We truly value our partnership with families and know that when we work together, our students thrive.

As we settle into the school year, you'll continue to receive important updates through Parent Square, our campus newsletters, and social media. We encourage you to stay connected and take advantage of the many opportunities to be involved throughout the year. Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. It is an honor to serve the Santa Rita Elementary community, and I look forward to an amazing year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable memories.

Go Wranglers!

Principal, Santa Rita Elementary

• Doors Open at 7:05 AM
• Tardy Bell is at 7:30 AM
• Dismissal is at 3:00 PM. Our dismissal line moves past so please be in line at 3:00!

Arrival/Dismissal Reminders:

• PLEASE do NOT drop students off on Santa Rita Blvd. It is a very big safety concern!
• If your child cannot exit your vehicle in the morning independently, please park in the parking spots at the front of the school and walk them up to the building. This helps our line keep moving in the mornings!
• Car Tags need to be visible in your vehicle each day in the car rider line. If you forget your Car Tag we will need to see a photo ID to verify that you are approved to take a student home. Our staff members will help students walk to vehicles in the car line, no need to exit your vehicle!
• Kindergarten & 1st Grade Walkers must have a guardian present to be dismissed. Our staff will need to see your Car Tag or a photo ID to verify you are able to take a student.

School Day Reminders:

• Please label your child's belongings (ex: Backpack, Lunchbox, Water Bottle, Jacket, etc.)
• Students should bring a water bottle & healthy snack each day!
• If you need to make a transportation change please email: srestransportationchanges@libertyhill.txed.net prior to 1:00pm! Emails & Parent Square messages are NOT accepted.

Smart Tags

• Smart Tags are provided to NEW LHISD students when they enroll, even if they do not ride the bus! Be sure to keep these somewhere safe in the event your child needs to use the bus at some point.
