Heroes' Day Walk at Settlers Way Elementary

Please sign up if you are a first responder (Firefighter, Police Officer, EMS, Doctor, Nurse) and are willing to be honored at SWE on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 8:15 a.m.

This is not an open assembly, but an opportunity for us to have first responders walk through the halls while our students recognize and honor them.

Please feel free to share this invitation with any First Responders you know.

This assembly is not open to all to attend, just to those first responders who would like to be recognized.

Please click on the link below to be directed to the RSVP page. Click on the link and complete the questionnaire. It will then prompt you to put in the name of the first responder who will attend.

2026 Heroes' Day Walk at Settlers Way Elementary – Fill out form

We would also like to honor any first responders who may not be able to attend the Heroes’ walk, in a video presentation for the students. If you have someone in your family that is a first responder, we would love for you to email a picture of them and a brief paragraph about them to Amanda.faulkner@fortbendisd.gov. The deadline for submission is Friday, September 4th but I would love to get them as soon as possible. Thanks so much and have a wonderful day!

First Responders risk their own lives to save others. They could have chosen any other profession but chose to serve their communities and keep people safe from harm.

On Friday, September 11th, 2026, we will have you walk through the grade level hallways, and you will be celebrated by our students, teachers, and staff. We appreciate all that you do and hope you will join us!

"A hero is an ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles". - Christopher Reeve

Please plan accordingly and ensure your child/children arrive by 7:50 a.m. each day.

We need volunteers to help our students discover the joy of reading! Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or caregiver, we would love to have your help in the library.

Please follow the Golden Rule and do not make a U turn at Green Fields and Flint Rock, to cut in line. This is not courteous to those who have been waiting in line, following the rules. We appreciate your kindness!

New! We are encouraging, ‘Drop and Walk’ at the dead end of Austin Parkway and Settlers Way Blvd (near Providence Church). There is a crossing guard there, as well as at Green Fields Dr. to safely cross students.

SWE also has a carpool/HOV line if you have three or more students to drop off or pick up! There will be a second drop off/pick up line in front of the sidewalk on Green Fields Dr. The tag will be delivered to the oldest student and must be affixed to the bottom of the original tag to enter the second line on campus. Please consider carpooling and fill out the request form below:

SWE Carpool/HOV Tag Request Form

Please know we are committed to doing the best for all our students and parents and appreciate your understanding! Thank you, SWE Admin

*** Please plan to arrive for pick up 3:25pm-3:35pm. After this time the line moves quickly and once the last numbers are called, late pick up will require parents to come into the building to show an ID in order for their children to be released***
