Strategic Plan
Our Mission
The mission of Honey Creek Elementary School is to ensure excellence and empower all students by meeting their academic, behavioral, emotional and social needs.
Start of the Day
The regular school day is from 7:35 AM until 2:10 PM. The building opens to begin receiving bus riders at 7:00 AM and 7:05 for car riders. Please do not drop off your child prior to this time as there may not be supervision available. Parents should use the front driveway when delivering or picking up children. The back driveway is reserved for bus traffic only.
After School
Please do not park. Display your child's car tag when picking them up in the afternoon.
After 2:40 PM, any child who has not been picked up will be sent to the front office and parents will need to come in and be signed out.
Absences
On the day your child returns to school, please send a note stating the reason for the absence. Excused absences include: 1) personal illness, 2) a family illness, 3) death in the family, or 4) religious holiday.
Sign In/Sign Out
During school hours, parents must come to the office to check students in or out. For safety reasons, proper identification is required. Students may not be checked out after 1:45pm.
If someone other than the legal guardian is checking out a child, they must be included in your child's Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
Bus Transportation
Bus routes are posted in the front office and at www.rockdaleschools.org/bus. Please send a note to your child's teacher if there is any change in transportation scheduled.

School Meal Prices
Parents are welcome to come and have lunch with their children. Please make sure to sign-in with the front office.
Illness
Students will be taken to the office if they complain of illness. If a child's temperature is elevated, the parents will be notified, and the child must go home. Students may not return unless they are fever free without medication for 24 hours. It is vital that all phone numbers are up to date and accurate. Please make any necessary changes in in Infinite Campus through Parent Portal.
A medication form must be signed and on file for each child. Any medication should be in its original container with written instructions. Please bring medication in directly. Please do not send medication with students.
