Policies and Procedures

Attendance is taken daily at 9:55am. If a student arrives late from an appointment, a doctor note is required, and can be turned into the front office. 
 
If your child is going to be absent for any reason, you must complete this form <insert link https://forms.gle/u5bm3vRNri4QuCXL6 > (also found on our website under attendance). We do not accept any attendance phone calls. 

Students without any documentation accompanying tardies or absences or who exceed four parent notes each semester are considered truant and can be referred to the KISD Truancy Tribunal which includes court dates.

Doors open at 7:30 a.m. with class beginning at 7:55 am. Any student arriving after 7:55am must enter through front door #1 (our main entrance) to be checked in at the front office to receive a tardy slip.

+ Change in Dismissal 

Anytime you need to change your child's dismissal whether for one day or multiple days, please CALL our front office at 817-744-6600 before 2:45pm so that we are able to communicate those changes to teachers.  Please do NOT email or call the teacher directly as there is the chance that they may not receive the message due to being in instruction time.  

+ Early Dismissal 

If you need to pick up your student for an appointment or for personal needs, you must do so by 2:45pm (you do not need to notify the office prior). 

+ Drop Off Items 

Any items including lunches dropped off, will need to be signed in at the drop off table in the office. Office staff will notify teachers to let them know. 
*No Food Delivery Services accepted for students (Door Dash, Uber Eats, Restaurant delivery.) 

+ Join Us For Lunch 

Parents and family members are welcome to join their student at lunch time starting Tuesday, September 2nd.  When you come to join for lunch, please keep in mind: 
- All visitors must sign in at the kiosk in our lobby with their Driver's License, then make your way to the office for your printed badge.  
- We have a special set of tables reserved specifically for our students to sit with their guests. You may bring food for your child only.  Please do not bring food to share with other students, as there may be allergies or dietary restrictions. 

+ Student Birthday 

Birthdays are a big deal and it is so fun to celebrate; however we do not allow birthday parties. Each student will receive a birthday pencil and a birthday tag from the front office. 
If you would like to send birthday treats for the entire class, we encourage non-edible treats such as erasers, bubbles, notepads, play-doh (there is an allergy free play-doh) or other fun items.  If edible treats are sent in, they must be store bought and individually wrapped for allergy reasons (ex: no cupcake trays or donuts).  All treats will be given to students at the end of the day to take home.  
Birthday invitations may be given to either the entire class, to all the girls, or all the boys in the same class if distributed at school. We cannot allow invitations to be given only to a select group of friends. 
** No LATEX balloons allowed on campus; due to allergies 

+ Lost & Found 

We have an area at the end of our co-curr hallway near the cafeteria where we put all of our lost and found items. If your child is missing a shirt, coat, water-bottle, etc. please check our lost and found. 2 or 3 times throughout the year, we will pack up and donate leftover items. Of course, we will provide parents plenty of notice prior to donating.   

+ Cell Phones and Personal Technology 

Student cell phones, smart watches, AirPods, Bluetooth headphones, communication transmission devices etc. are not allowed to be in use during instructional hours. Students will be expected to either leave their devices at home, or if they choose to bring them to school, to turn their device off and store it in a backpack, purse, or other bag for the entirety of the school day.

+ Volunteers 

Parents are always welcome at RES and we are grateful for our volunteers as an essential part of our school!  If you are interested in volunteering this school year (ex: classrooms, lunch duty, field trips, events, PTA, watchdogs) please fill out the Keller ISD Volunteer Application (this must be completed each school year) link https://www.kellerisd.net/departments/human-resources/volunteers > 

All visitors are required to enter through the front door #1 (our main entrance), sign in at the kiosk in lobby *under Volunteer* then make your way to the office for your printed badge. This procedure ensures the safety and security of our campus as we know who is in the building at all times.  

Guests must have their visitor badge worn on their shirt and visible at all times.  

Guests are only allowed in designated areas to minimize disruption of the learning environment.
