Visitor parking is in the Roxella parking lot. Do not leave parked cars along the yellow curb. DO NOT DOUBLE PARK!!
The only acceptable excuses for absence and tardiness are personal illness, sickness or death in the family, quarantine, weather or road conditions making travel dangerous, participation in school activities with permission of the principal, and emergencies or unusual circumstances recognized by the principal or person designated. Students who are tardy must also bring a written excuse.
Students are expected to remain at school until dismissal time except for emergency situations. Doctor and dentist appointments should be made after school whenever possible. If it becomes necessary for students to leave early, only the parents, legal guardian, or other persons listed on the enrollment card may sign a Permit to Leave Early Form at the reception desk located at the front entrance of the school. All persons checking students out early must have picture I.D.
Teachers will be interested in scheduling conferences with parents. This may be done during their planning period, or at any time the teacher is free. Paying early attention to them can solve many serious problems.
The principal’s and assistant principal’s doors are always open. They will be available to both parents and pupils. However, the teacher and parent must make a concerted effort to solve any problem before an administrator is involved.
Each year every student must have 2 new enrollment cards to be filled in and signed by the parent or legal guardian. Two telephone numbers are required. If your telephone number and/or address changes during the year, please send the new information to the teacher and school office at once. It is imperative that we have some way to reach you in the event of an emergency involving your child. HOUSTON ISD REGULATIONS DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO BE IN ATTENDANCE UNLESS THE SCHOOL HAS AT LEAST TWO TELEPHONE NUMBERS WHERE THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN CAN BE REACHED. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!
Parents are responsible for their children’s damaged and/or lost textbooks immediately. Payment may be made to the textbook clerk in the main office.
If you need to apply for free and reduced meals, please return the completed lunch application immediately. No card can be issued until the application has been approved by HISD. New applications must be submitted each year.
Students involved in the breakfast program will be admitted into the cafeteria at 7:00 A.M. The breakfast serving line opens at 7:00 A.M. and WILL CLOSE AT 7:25 A.M.
Picture student I.D. cards are issued to all students. There is no charge for the first card issued. The cost for replacement of lost or damaged cards is $5.00. I.D. cards are to stay in the teacher’s classroom when not in use.
Students in the 1st – 5th grades will receive numeric grades on their report cards. Students must maintain a 70% average to be promoted. Parent conferences will feature grading policies. You will receive samples of student work periodically. Please contact your child’s teacher if you do not receive papers regularly. Parents are required to sign and return Progress Reports and Report Cards promptly.
When a parent requests that medication be given to a child during school hours, it is necessary to have a form signed by the doctor and the parent. This form may be obtained from the school clinic and will be kept on file. It is for medication administered on a long-term basis only. No other medication (this includes aspirin) is allowed. This is a School Board Policy. The medication must be kept in the clinic and administered by the nurse, according to the doctor’s instructions.
We will make every effort to see that Lyons is a safe place for your child and our teachers. If it is necessary to give your child a message, please contact the school office. For the safety of all concerned, ALL VISITORS to the school, including parents, MUST obtain a VISTOR’S PASS and have a VALID PICTURE ID. DO NOT go directly to a classroom without obtaining this pass. Return the pass to the office before leaving the building.
Please discuss safety hazards with your child and, if possible review with him/her the route he/she is to use to school and home. Please make plans with your child for rainy days. Remember to fill out and return the Student Transportation form to your child’s teacher as soon as it is sent home.
When picking up children, do not park in the No-Parking zones. Do not block driveways. All students are expected to cross the street with the crossing guard.

Pawprints, our school weekly newsletter, goes home with students every Thursday. Also, all communication to parents will be sent home on Thursday, whenever possible. The Lyons’ Den, the school newspaper, goes home the first of every month. Students in 1st – 5th grades also have a school planner. Encourage your children to see that these are brought to your attention. These are our most important communication links between school and home. Do help us to make this effective. Please take time to ask about these or have a special place in your home for them to be displayed.
The office telephone number is (713)696-2870. Please telephone if we can be of assistance to you. If you have an emergency, we will be happy to contact your child, but we cannot disrupt classes for messages on a regular basis. Students will not be allowed to leave their classrooms to accept telephones calls.
A lost and found depository is maintained in the library. Students who have lost personal items should check the lost and found frequently. Unfortunately, most found articles go unclaimed for months and we must give these items to charity.
Birthday parties are not allowed in the classroom. Parents wishing to acknowledge their child’s birthday with a treat must obtain permission from the teacher. Treats will be distributed at the end of the school day at dismissal time by the classroom teacher.
In order to maintain high standards, create an atmosphere conducive to learning and promote good grooming habits, the following guidelines have been agreed upon:
1. Students should be fully clothed, neat, and clean at all times.
TENNIS SHOES MUST BE WORN ON P. E. DAYS.
3. A “Lyons Shirt” should be worn each and every day.
