School starts for our students tomorrow. Please follow the maps below for traffic guidance for Houston Lower Elementary. Remember, in the first few weeks of school, traffic is heavy. Please be patient as we work through this. Also, please note that a senior parade will take place in the morning from 7:15 to 7:30, starting at Parkway Baptist Church and concluding at the high school. We can't wait to see all of those sweet faces in the morning!

HLES would like to thank our PTO for the delicious snacks today! They have certainly been spoiling us with our back-to-school treats!

HLES teachers and staff are ready for a great 2025-2026 school year!
