New Year, New Learning
As we have welcomed students back to Trailside classrooms in the new year, learning has begun on new units of study.

- Preschool - Winter Animals and Habitats (monthly units of study)
- Kinder - Trees are Alive
- First - finish Sun, Moon and Stars and beginning Birds' Amazing Bodies
- Second - The Secret World of Pollination

Safety at Drop-Off and Pick-Up
- It is safest to drop off your students on W. 67th Avenue, in front of the school. When driving down W. 68th Avenue, please be mindful not to block the entrance to the bus loop, so that the busses can drop off students on time.
- Please pull forward to drop students off in the Hug and Go Lane. They can exit directly onto the sidewalk, and traffic continues to move. Students should not exit cars behind parked vehicles.
- Please cross the streets using designated crosswalks. School staff monitor these locations, and cars know to watch for pedestrians.
- Walk carefully in the ice and snow! We do our best to clear sidewalks, but with warm afternoons and chilly nights, new ice can appear each day.
