You are more than welcome to come and eat lunch with your child any day (with exceptions for closed campus testing days) of your choice. If you are eating lunch at school remember:

- check in AND out with the front office

• no background check required, but the school does need to keep track of who is and is not in the building

- you may only sit with your child, their friends may not eat with you at the visitors tables

- you cannot supply food to other children that are not your own

- please encourage your children to continue to follow school rules while you are visiting

These are rules across campus to keep all children safe, and must be followed by all visitors.

Aubrey ISD does enforce a strict dress code. Please review the following links to familiarize yourself with the dos and don'ts!

Dress Code

Dress Code Dos and Don'ts

• Send your kiddo to school with a LABELED, reusable water bottle daily.

• Don't forget a snack, packed SEPARATE from their lunch so they don't eat it at lunch accidentally.

• Pack an extra set of dress code approved clothes in a gallon sized bag, or other container, in case of accidents or clothing emergencies.

• Check green folders nightly, empty and return each day. Any paperwork that needs to come back to school will on the RIGHT side, and teachers will check for returned forms daily.

• Car tags are REQUIRED at dismissal in the car line, as well as Walker Pick up locations

• Email ALL transportation changes to FESTransportation@aubreyisd.net by 2pm.

• We will not go outside for recess if the temperature exceeds 100*F or is below 40*.

• Parents need to drop their kiddos off at the door - fostering independence is essential in Kindergarten! There will be teachers around to help kiddos find their way to our classrooms.
