Mrs. Lowell's Kindergarten Website! Welcome to our classroom website! Please check our page frequently for updates. Updated Arrival Procedure Hello Green Woods Families, I hope everyone enjoyed their winter break and there was plenty of time spent relaxing with family and friends. For many of us, the new year brings new goals, challenges, and ideas we set for ourselves. We at Green Woods are no different. Prior to winter break, the administrative team met to address our growing concern for student lateness. As educators, we want to provide a consistent, structured, and positive learning environment for all students. After reviewing the number of students arriving at school late each morning, we decided to update our arrival policies and procedures. Our plan is to dramatically cut down on the number of students who are late each day and sent a good example of the importance of being on time. We are asking everyone to understand that these changes are being made in the best interest of our students to provide a more consistent learning environment. The changes in our arrival routine will not take effect until Tuesday, January 22nd, 2019. Families should use the next two weeks to adjust schedules to avoid student lateness. Beginning Monday, January 14, arrival will be from 7:50 a.m. to 8:13 a.m. Staff members will be outside during arrival to help the flow of traffic and direct students into the building quickly. The driveway will be open for students to start walking down the hill at 7:50. At 8:13, a large sign will be displayed informing families they must park their car and walk their child down to the front door. Mr. Ferrante will be at the top of the hill to help during this time. New procedures once the late sign is displayed:
We appreciate your understanding during this time as we implement our new arrival procedure. We also understand that this is a big change in regards to how arrival has gone in the past. Our goal is to hold our entire community more accountable for getting our students to school on time. If you have any concerns, questions, or need clarification at any point, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you very much, Joe Ferrante Dean of Students
