HCES Families- We have around 50 students left today. If you are a car rider, please plan to pick up in the front this afternoon. Bus Riders will be early this afternoon. I would plan to be prepared for drop off to be 20-30 minutes early. We hope that everyone has a wonderful break and a very Merry Christmas!
HCES- The text that just went out was a mistake. Friday is Christmas Party Day. Dress in your Christmas best.
HCES Families- This morning there was another wreck at Pea Ridge and Hwy 34. I know there are varying opinions on the turn lane, however, the turn lane is now there and we need to be mindful of how to use it. If you are in the turn lane and someone is trying to turn left onto Pea Ridge, those in the turn lane must yield for those turning across traffic. If you are turn left off of Hwy 34 onto Pea Ridge, you must pay close attention to cars that are staying straight on Hwy 34 going to Newnan. These cars do not have to yield to you. If you are turning left off of Pea Ridge onto Hwy 34, please make sure that you are looking past the turn lane to ensure nobody is coming straight down Hwy 34.
Also, if you are one of the parents that drops your Brave Life student off at the gym, please drive carefully around the driveway. We have teachers that are arriving. They are trying to park and cross the driveway carefully. There have been a couple of times where cars are speeding through this area. Please slow down.
Good afternoon, our car rider line will run through the front of the school, so the students and staff can stay dry this afternoon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Hat Day Friday, November 1.
Donate $1 and wear your best hat. Mr. Hammond, one of our parents and business partners, is facing a battle with cancer. He and his family will be traveling to Mexico for intensive treatment. All proceeds from our hat day will be donated to the Hammond family. We encourage all students to bring $1 and wear their favorite hat. Thank you for supporting our HCES Family!

will still be served breakfast and lunch that day. Students will eat lunch right before dismissal time. At
11:00, car riders will begin and all bus riders will load buses. The buses will leave from HCES and travel to
the high school and then the middle school just like they do on a regular day.
There will be NO ASP on this day. All students will need to be a car rider or a bus rider. Please send in a

Good afternoon HCES Families! We are looking forward to seeing all our students back in the building tomorrow morning. We just wanted to send a couple of reminders before we start. First, remember that traffic is always more hectic at the beginning of the year. Please be patient and drive carefully. Parents may walk students in on Monday and Tuesday if you would like to. Please remember that this is not a time for a conference. We ask that you walk them in, give them hugs and kisses, and then let them get going with their day. All 1st through 5th grade students will go through the breakfast line upon arrival. Pre K and K go to breakfast later in the morning, they will go straight to the classroom. For afternoon car riders, cars will line up on Pea Ridge and will enter the property at 2:20. If needed, the line may wrap through the Bus Barn area. Mr. Anderson and Coach Cofield will be out at Pea Ridge to help with directing the cars starting at 2:20 this week. Again, please be patient and carful when traveling in the line.
The first bell rings at 7:10 and the tardy bell rings at 7:40. We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Go Braves!
Good morning, HCES! We can't wait to see everyone today! Please be careful as you arrive due to the construction on 34.
If you haven't uploaded your proof of residency, please make sure to bring a physical copy with you today.
See you at 1:00! Go Braves!
Hi HCES Families,
Thank you to all who have gone ahead and started to complete your 24-25 Registration Forms. We wanted to touch base regarding residency. We have noticed that some students tried to verify residency earlier this summer. If this is you, you will need to go back in and upload a new bill that is dated July 1 or after. If you are having trouble uploading your document for proof of residency, you are welcome to email the bill/document to hces.residency@heard.k12.ga.us Please make sure that you list your child's name in the email. This will ensure we are able to connect the document to the student.
Keep working to get those forms completed before July 21st. This will make your visit at Open House much smoother. See you soon! Go Braves!
This year every student will get free breakfast and lunch.
Important information for HEARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Families:
ALL RETURNING STUDENTS and for all new students who have already completed the "New Student" registration, online registration for the upcoming year will open July 8th. It is VERY important that you login to your PowerSchool parent portal and complete the online forms and get your documents uploaded prior to Open House on August 1st which will save you time. We will close the 24-25 Online Registration on July 21st. If you have not completed the forms between July 8th and July 21st, you will have to do it at Open House.
