September 2022
Drop off and pick up
We have settled into our new year and I want to thank families for following our traffic procedures here at school during drop off and pick up. Students and their families are safer and the traffic moves smoother when we all:
use the cross walks
stay in your car when using the drive through for pick up and drop off
pull forward along the curb at drop off and pick up with the traffic rather than stopping at the gates
drop off begins at 8:05. Students should not be dropped off prior to this time as there is no supervision.
The far back gate at the grass will be closing at the bell, 8:20 am to ensure a secure campus. If you are running late, please plan for your student to enter campus at the front of school.
Neighbors are reporting that driveways are being blocked as we cue in line for drop off or pick up - particularly on Kottinger. Please be mindful of driveways and keep them clear.
We are responsible for student safety until they are picked up by you. Students waiting in the grassy knoll by the staff parking lot are not able to be properly supervised. After initial meet ups with the adult in the first few minutes, student who are still waiting, will be asked to move to the front of school where they can be kept safe.
Lost and Items
Lost and found is already growing! Many items end up being unclaimed but could be returned if they were labeled. Please be sure to check that your child's new materials, lunch boxes, water bottles, jackets etc. are labeled with their names.
Drop Off Items
Please note the items dropped for students will be delivered in a timely manner that reflects classroom schedules and activities. Lunches and water bottles should be placed at the cart by the gate at the front of school and will be picked up by your student during their lunch or recess times. ALL items should be well labeled.
