Please be Prompt:  After the dismissal times, regular staff will not be available to supervise students. Safety and other concerns keep us from allowing HCES students to be left unsupervised. Therefore, any child not picked up by the designated times must wait in the holding area or school office. In order to help us maintain a safe environment, parents may be required to come into the building to sign their child(ren) out.

We wish to accommodate family emergencies. If you are detained because of weather, illness, and accidents, etc., please call the office as soon as possible and let us know that you will be late. We will make arrangements to see that your child is not left unsupervised while he/she waits to be picked up.

Chronic Late Pick-up:  Because of our concern for the safety of students, we have agreed to provide supervision for late pickups. Unfortunately, this is costly. Therefore, a per minute charge will be added to the family's tuition bill if it is noticed that a child is often not picked up until after the designated times. A late pick up warning card will be issued prior to the family being charged an extra fee.
