before this time; however they will be unattended until staff report to duty.  Parents will drop off students by coming in off Spring Cypress or Loch Dane and joining the big loop in front of the building.  Please push all the way down along the sidewalk so we can get multiple cars in the driveway when there is heavy traffic.  Please make sure your child is ready to get out prior to entering the driveway, so that traffic can move quickly.  Please drive slowly in our parking lots

Pick-Up - Information -  will begin at 4:15.  It is essential that if your child is being picked up, they get outside as quickly as possible so that we are not holding up the line.  All parents are asked to always push all the way down the fire lane. This is what helps to get more cars into the front of our big loop to pick up our students. When it is raining, we still ask that you push down also but provide your students with umbrellas, ponchos, etc. Please drive slowly for the safety of everyone, and please respect our staff who are out on duty in the morning and afternoon.

Students are expected to cross at all crosswalks.  Parents are expected to join the car rider line.  Ulrich staff will not be responsible should you decide to pick them up from Cutten or Loch Dane Roads.  Your child will be subject to being stopped by the adult on duty and you will be asked to join the big loop for pick-up.

Thank you for your help as we continue to keep student safety a priority. Please drive slowly for the safety of everyone, and please respect our staff who are out on duty in the morning and afternoon. We all have the same goal and we must continue to be courteous and patient. Our officer will also be onsite outside to ensure order and safety is a priority.

● District (Benchmarks, District Assessments, and STAAR testing days. The campus is closed to visitors & no check outs will be allowed until the conclusion of their test or normal schedule resumes.

Thank you to all of our Bulldogs for getting to class promptly! If you have any additional questions about the changes to procedure, please feel free to contact your child’s administrator.

New State Law for Personal Communication Devices

As we enter the 2025–2026 school year, I want to reaffirm that your child’s education, safety, and well-being remain our top priorities. Part of ensuring a focused, distraction-free learning environment is maintaining clear expectations around cell phone and smart device use on campus.

In alignment with our campus expectations and the new Texas House Bill addressing cell phone restrictions in schools, Ulrich Intermediate will continue to prohibit student cell phone use during the school day. Our mission is to build strong academic foundations, social skills, and a supportive school culture where students are fully engaged in learning and relationships.

Policy Highlights for the 25–26 School Year:

• Cell phones, smartwatches (used as communication devices), earbuds, smart glasses and headphones are not to be used during the school day.
  
  

• This applies to all areas: classrooms, restrooms, locker rooms, cafeteria, hallways, and After School Detention.
  
  

• Cell phones must remain off or on silent and stored in backpacks—not in hands, pockets, or visible at any time.
  
  

• Earbuds, headphones, or similar devices connected to phones are not permitted.
  
  

• Students found using a device during the school day will have it confiscated by the observing staff member. Parents/guardians will need to pick up the device from the front office.
  
  

Please take a moment to discuss these expectations with your child prior to the first day of school so they are set up for success from day one.

We truly appreciate your partnership in helping us create a learning environment where students can thrive without distractions. Together, we can ensure the 25–26 school year is one of focus, growth, and success for all Ulrich students.
