Dear Parent(s)/Guardians,
This notice is to serve as a reminder of our HSAHH dismissal and loitering policies. Dismissal is at 3:25 p. m.
and students must be picked up no later than 30 minutes after dismissal time each day. Students are not allowed to
remain on campus unsupervised after designated dismissal times, and a student who remains on campus unsupervised after dismissal time may be subject to state criminal trespass laws, as well as disciplinary consequences per HPS
policy.
For parents unable to pick up their student by the designated dismissal time, and need supervision for their
child, HSAHH is now offering after school care in the form of a Homework Study Hall. Please request additional information from the HSAHH front office to register your student for the after school program. As per HPS policy the
school reserves the right, for students who have not been picked up after their designated dismissal time, to be
placed in the School’s after school program. Parents of these students will be responsible for all fees incurred as a
result of such placement
Dismissal and loitering policies, which have been communicated previously, can be found on pages 14-15 of
the HPS Student/Parent Handbook. Please review these policies, which can be found on the school website through
the 2014-2015 Student Parent Handbook link. The loitering warning sheet is attached to this week’s Wednesday Mail.
