Beginning Monday, August 24, J.E. Rhodes Elementary will implement a new morning drop-off procedure designed to improve student safety, efficiency, and traffic flow around our campus.

🚗 ALL PK–3 STUDENTS WILL NOW BE DROPPED OFF BEHIND THE CAMPUS.

New Drop-Off Route:
➡️ Enter the drop-off line from Texas Street or Highway 110 onto Pecan Street
➡️ Turn RIGHT onto Pennsylvania Street
➡️ Turn RIGHT onto Bois 'D Arc
➡️ Follow the line to the designated drop-off area behind the campus
➡️ All PK–3 students will be dropped off together
➡️ After drop-off, loop through the parking lot and exit the same way you entered via Bois 'D Arc

As we transition to this new procedure, we know there may be a few hiccups along the way. We greatly appreciate your patience, grace, and cooperation as our staff and families adjust to the new traffic flow.

❤️ You can help us keep the line moving!
Please stay alert while in the drop-off line and have your child ready to exit the vehicle when you reach the unloading area.

Our goal is to make morning arrival as safe and efficient as possible for every J.E. Rhodes student and family. Thank you for working with us as we make this important change!

📅 NEW PROCEDURE BEGINS MONDAY, AUGUST 24

🐣 HANDS-ON LEARNING AT J.E. RHODES! 🐥
There are some exciting new additions at J.E. Rhodes Elementary — CHICKENS! 🐔❤️
Our first-grade classes are bringing science to life with a hands-on study of the life cycle of a chicken! As part of their first-grade TEKS, students are getting an up-close look at the different stages of the life cycle and making real-world connections to what they’re learning in the classroom.
There’s nothing quite like watching learning come to life — especially when it’s this cute! 🐣
We love seeing our youngest Vandals observe, discover, ask questions, and LEARN!

✏️Come hang out with us at Parent Night!
You will get to hear from your child’s teacher about our daily routines, systems, and all the exciting things happening this year! It’s a great way to see how our school runs, and how we can partner together to make it an awesome year for your child.

Have children in multiple classes or buildings? No worries! Drop your children off at their respective playgrounds for childcare, then choose one classroom to attend the full presentation. Since we are one school in two buildings, most of the information will be the same across classrooms! Afterward, you can stop by your other children’s classrooms to pick up an information packet, ask any quick questions, and learn about any classroom-specific details you may have missed.

We had a great time at UIL choreography ❤️📣

❤️📚 WELCOME BACK, VANDALS! 📚❤️
There is just something special about the first day of school! ✏️🍎
Today, the energy returned to our hallways, classrooms, cafeterias, playgrounds, and campuses as we officially kicked off the 2026–2027 school year! 🎉
From first-day hugs and new friendships to familiar faces, excited teachers, and students ready to learn, there are already so many wonderful things happening across Van ISD. ❤️
But more than anything, today we are reminded of what a privilege it is to do what we do.
Every child who walks through our doors has been entrusted to our care, and we are incredibly thankful for each and every one of them. It is an honor to teach them, encourage them, challenge them, cheer for them, and watch them grow throughout the year. 🚌📚✏️🎨🎶🏈
We are equally grateful for the families and community who trust and support us along the way. Serving the students and families of Vandal Land is a privilege we never take for granted. ❤️
It's a GREAT day to be a Vandal! ❤️
