New Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure at HP Elementary
Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, all student drop-offs and pick-ups at the front of the elementary school will take place only in the eastbound lane directly in front of the building.
The other two lanes in the parking lot will remain open for through traffic (both eastbound and westbound). For everyone’s safety, please do not stop or park in these lanes—even briefly—as was done in previous years.
This new procedure only applies to the front drop-off and pick-up area of the elementary school.
Keeping the other lanes clear is essential in case emergency vehicles need access to the school. We appreciate your support in helping us keep all students and staff safe.
We’ve attached a diagram to help clarify the new drop-off/pick-up area.
Thank you for your cooperation—we’re excited to welcome your student to a great new school year!

Freshman Orientation
Highland Park ISD is reviewing its policy in light of the new state law. We'll keep families updated as we finalize our plans.
Starting with the 2025–26 school year, a new Texas law will require all students to keep personal communication devices off, out of sight, and unused during the school day - including lunch and passing periods.
This includes:
📱 Cell phones
⌚ Smartwatches
💻 Tablets & personal laptops (including BYOT)
🎧 Earbuds, headphones, and Bluetooth-enabled devices
We encourage families to start talking with students now about what this will look like during the school day. Thank you for partnering with us!
