Hello Hornet Families,

We are coming upon our 2nd 9-week progress report. Our Hornets have been working hard in class, and school is well underway! Please reach out to teachers if you have concerns about your student's academic success.

Gifted and Talented Testing

Hays CISD campuses will begin GT Assessments from November through January. Evaluation of student data and selection of services occur in February. Parents are notified by email in March of the final determination of services. If your child is already identified as G/T, he/she does not need to be reassessed. If you have any questions, contact Yareli Melendez at Yareli.Melendez@hayscisd.net or 512-268-2141.

Send Hays High Five!

Our Teachers and Staff work hard and are amazing at TGES. Do you want a way to show your child's teachers how much you appreciate them? You can do it through Hays High Five. Click on the link below to fill out and the district will send it to the teacher or staff member with a small gift. It only takes a few minutes to do and it will make a Teacher or Staff Member's Day!

Arrival & Dismissal Changes

Due to campus construction, these are our arrival and dismissal procedures for this school year.

• Car riders will continue to use the front of school lane for drop-off and pick-up, BUT will have to go straight and will not be able to turn around.
• Bus riders will load and unload using the new fire lane behind the gym.
• As always, we will have to allow buses to leave the campus first during dismissal, then cars and then lastly walkers. Please do not block entrances and exits to parking lots when sitting in the car rider lane in order to allow buses to go through.

Thank you for your continued support and flexibility. We look forward to another amazing year of learning and growth with our Hornets!

Greetings Hays CISD Parents,

Hays CISD uses SMARTtag technology to keep parents aware of the location of their child’s bus while their child is on board.

Here are helpful SMARTtag resources:

1. Morning Drop Off - If you are dropping off students after 7:29am, make sure you are prepared to park your car and get off the car to sign your student in. We need your name, your students name and the reason your late to document it in our system. We will be allowing everyone to park in front of the school to get down. Thank you for your understanding.
2. Pick Up - Adults can not pick up students from school after 2pm. Students will have to go home AFTER school dismissal via car, bus or walker routes. This is due to safety.
3. Pick Up - If you are asked to park and show your ID in the front office in order to release your student, it is out of an abundance of caution. Your students are precious and we can't give them to just anyone. We will always check to be sure and safe for the sake of our Hornets.
