Welcome To Hicks Elementary

Mission Statement

With the assistance and cooperation of parents, we will instill confidence and self-worth in children by empowering them with responsibility. Each day, we, the staff at Hicks Elementary School, will offer a productive learning environment conducive to meeting the individual needs of our diverse student population.

Vision Statement

High teacher expectations, parental involvement, and pupil attendance are the keys to our success.

Motto

Empowered to Lead and Succeed!

Parking Lot Expectations

Safety is our number 1 priority in the parking lot. Please adhere to these expectations so the parking lot can be as safe as possible. Please pack your patience and don't speed, We have had several close calls. We value your time and have tried to make arrival and dismissal as expedient as possible.

Cars should pull into the outside lane (closest to school) to pick up kids, and once they pick up their kid, pull to the left (inside lane) to leave. Please see image below.

Please do not park in the fire lane - which means do not get out of your car. The fire lane is the entire front loop.

Pull as close as possible to the curb when picking up a student. Students shouldn't be running in front of a line of traffic to get to their car.

When you have your kids, pull into the left lane.

When exiting, if you're in the right lane when you get to the exit, go right. If you're in the left lane, go left. There have been several near accidents at the exit.

Teach kids to get into the car on the passenger side so they’re not crossing behind or in front of other cars.

Please also ask kids to get into the car as quickly as possible.

The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up

This edition's topic....snow days. In light of a very crazy January, I wanted to share my thoughts when making those decisions. The amount of snow is definitely a factor as well as when it will come (a large amount of snow at 4 am cannot be cleared prior to school starting).
