Parking Lot Safety
Parking Lot Safety
Please take a look at and review with your children the following safety measures in our parking lots and valet areas:
No parking is allowed along red curbs at any time and parents may not leave their vehicles in either valet line.
There is no parking or leaving cars unattended in the valet lanes at any time.
Please stay in your car, pull all the way forward to the front of the yellow-lined valet lane as space becomes available, and load or unload your students safely. It is recommended to put your car in park as you unload.
All students are required to exit automobiles from the passenger side only.
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading trunks and do not step onto the street unless absolutely necessary.
Staff, students, and families walking onto campus should use crosswalks to cross the parking lot. DO NOT WALK BETWEEN CARS, EVEN IF THEY ARE STOPPED.
It is always helpful when parents/guardians have the student's first and last name and grade level on a piece of paper in the dash when picking up students.
I always tell students that our number one job is to keep kids safe. I hope these tips are useful in safety discussions with your student. Thank you for your help!
Students in third grade did a math scavenger hunt last week. Word problems were posted throughout the classroom and outside space while teams solved the problems. Answers to each problem led teams to another word problem poster, but they had to search to find it! This was such a powerful activity because in included student inquiry, reading, and collaboration, three AVID WICOR strategies. Bravo, third grade!
