Through the united efforts of students, parents, faculty, staff, and community, our mission at Sienna Crossing Elementary is to chart a course towards excellence. Committed to each student reaching his/her potential, we will provide a supportive and safe environment with diverse and interactive learning opportunities to prepare students for successful futures in a global world.

Grades K-5 8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
 
***Students may enter the building at 7:30a. m.***
(Students not in their homeroom by 8:00 a. m. are counted tardy.)
 
***Students may not re-enter the building after dismissal for any reason.***

Please remember that if you drive your children to and from school, you must drive through the car rider lane in front of the school building. Children are not permitted to walk across the parking lot unescorted.

1. Truancy
Students who are absent must provide a written excuse by the 2nd day after returning from the absence. If the excuse note is not received by the 2nd day, the absence will be considered as UNEXCUSED. Per new FBISD policy, truacy charges will be filed by the FBISD police after the 3rd unexcused absense. Please remember that absences due to vacation travel are always considered UNEXCUSED, as detailed in the Fort Bend ISD Parent Student Handbook.
 
2. Tardy Arrivals
School starts promptly at 8:00. This means that all students should be in their seats in their classrooms when the bell rings. If any student is not in the building by 7:59 a.m., parents must park and come into the building to sign the child in.
 
3. Transportation Home Changes
Any changes to your child's regular way home must be received in writing or faxed to the school by 2:30 p.m. **No changes will be made after 2:30 p.m.
 
4. RAINY DAY PLAN (See Rainy Day Dismissal Guidelines below...)
All walkers and bike riders must have a RAINY DAY PLAN. The Rainy Day Plan must be communicated in writing to the child's teacher.

Your child may not remain at school if he/she has one of the following: a fever of 100.4 or above, is suspected of having a contagious disease, vomits, has diarrhea, an undetermined rash or is feeling too badly to remain at school.
*Children should be fever-free for 24 hours before returning to school.

If medication must be given at school, it must be:
1. provided by the parents & kept in clinic
2. in original labeled container
3. accompanied by a written request that contains the name of child, physician, medication, and tells the amount, time and date it is to be given. The parent or guardian must sign this request.

Rainy day Dismissal
1. Moderate to severe rain is present at 2:45 p.m.
2. Anytime lightning occurs at 2:45.
3. The temperature is below 70 degrees and precipitation is present at 2:45
 
Parents are urged to take the initiative and monitor the weather forecast and make a plan before your student leaves for school. If appropriate, make sure you child is equipped with the necessary rain gear. Although we will do our best to make sound decisions concerning dismissal, we cannot control the weather.
 
In addition, we request that you avoid calling the school between 2:30 and 3:00 to change your child’s route home. No changes in dismissal will be made after 2:30p.m. Thank you for understanding that we have over 900 students, and we need your help by planning in advance.
 
Thank you also, for not coming in to the building prior to dismissal to sign your child out early in order to avoid car lines. With over 950 students, we really need and appreciate the cooperation of everyone.
 
Reminder:
All walkers and bikers must have a “Rainy Day Plan” on file with the homeroom teacher.
