Morning Drop Off & Afternoon Arrival Processes

Safety is our first priority. Cell phones in school zones and in car lines are not only against the law, it puts our kids and staff at risk. Your cooperation is needed and appreciated.


Please do not park at or near crosswalks as it blocks our ability to see oncoming traffic and creates a hazard for crossing guards and students crossing the street.


The first few days of school are exciting for everyone. We often have 2-3 times the number of cars dropping off and picking up than the rest of the year. Thanks for your patience as worked through these first few days. We hope the excitement remains but the long lines diminish.



Morning Arrival:


-Please form one lane and do not go around other vehicles or cones or run over our cones.

-Do NOT drop off students in the bus parking lot to avoid our car rider line. That parking lot is reserved for our staff and students with special circumstances.

-DO NOT pull throught the parking lot to cut in the car rider line. The parking lot is used to park and walk students up to the crisswalk.

-Do NOT park on grass lawn. That is for staff over flow parking. Please utilize the front parking lot ONLY.

-Do NOT drop off students by the black Panther walker near Braun and Vista Porta Loop.

-Please follow staff and sign directives.

-It is imperative that you pull all the way forward in the morning before letting your child out of the car. This allows us to try and fill up our parking lot as much as possible and alleviate traffic from Santa Rita Boulevard as soon as possible.

-Please be kind to our staff members and use appropriate language. You are in the presence of children and it's the right thing to do.

-If you are a walker, please cross the street at the designated crosswalk locations ONLY.



Afternoon Dismissal:


-Please form 2 lines in the afternoon.

-Please follow all staff directives and signs.

-Please do not come up to the building to receive your child. All students will meet parents at their designated crosswalk and their vehicle.

-Please be kind to our staff members and use appropriate language. You are in the presence of children and it is the right thing to do.

-Our campus office is closed beginning at 2:30 until the end of dismissal. You may call or email during those times.

Library Services Website

We are excited to share that our Liberty Hill ISD District website now has a Library Services page. We invite you to view the page to find information regarding all nine of our state of the art libraries. You will find information about the book selection process and frequently asked questions. You will also find a list of proposed book purchases for elementary, middle and high school. These books will be posted for 10 school days and if you would like to provide feedback or input on any of the books listed, we invite you to complete the Feedback Form that can be found on the website. After the books have been posted for 10 school days, a committee, including campus and district staff, will review the comments to determine approval for purchasing.

December Character Trait- Responsibility

RESPONSIBILITY:

Taking ownership of our actions and decision


How to help children learn responsibility-


  1. Give age appropriate tasks

  2. Set realistic expectations

  3. Explain how to do the task by showing them!

  4. Expect children to be accountable for actions, even if it means consequences are needed.

  5. Give praise when it’s noticed!


At SRE, students are expected to show responsibility for their work and actions. Be Safe! Be Respectful! Be Responsible!
