Erie Elementary Parking Lot Map
For the safety of our students, staff, and community, please drive slowly through the parking lot, look out for pedestrians, and follow the Parking Lot Map for specific traffic patterns. Always use the one-way entrance and one-way exit. If you need to cross the bus lane, please use the designated cross walk.
If we ALL follow these procedures, our students, staff, and community will be safe.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Stay Healthy!
As cold weather approaches, the chance of germs in our school increases. We will continue to clean classrooms daily and high frequency areas as often as we can. Please review the steps below to make sure we are all doing our part to stay healthy and safe:
· Wash your hands frequently, with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
· Cover your Cough
· Keep things clean. Make sure countertops are clean in the kitchen and bathrooms, especially when someone in your family has a cold. Discard used tissues right away.
· Don't share drinking glasses with others.
· Wash toys regularly. Do this especially when your child or a playmate is sick.
Chippewa Valley Schools is committed to providing a clean and safe environment for our students, staff, and community. All student and staff areas will be cleaned and disinfected on a regular schedule.
Parents are asked to check their child each morning before sending them to school. Students that are sick should stay home from school.
As the temperatures get colder, it is very important that we layer up! Please send your child(ren) to school with hats, gloves, a winter jacket, and boots (if needed). ALL students will be going outside for recess, as long as the temperature/windchill prevent us from doing so. If your child cannot be outside at a specific temperature, due to a medical reason, please contact your child's teacher and provide a doctor's note to the office.
Keeping Everyone Safe...
As we progress through the school year, we have discussed safety protocols during the school day. As a staff, we continue to look at our arrival and dismissal procedures and how we can keep our students and community feeling safe.
Help our school community feel safe by supporting the following:
- Friendly Pet Reminder: please note that when walking to school to drop off/pick up students, dogs should be left at home.
- Please do not enter the playground or wave students over to the bus loop during the school day.
- If you are picking your child up from their classroom door during dismissal, please refrain from entering the playground until 3:30 PM, as we may have classes outside during this time.
Thank you for your cooperation and keeping the safety of others in mind.

Safety at Erie Elementary
Our goal at Erie is to ensure the safety of all students and staff every day. Chippewa Valley Schools has put into place security measures for all buildings for the 2023-2024 school year.
All school doors will be locked while students are in session (8:55 AM - 3:39 PM).
When visiting during the school day, please enter through the Main North doors only. All other doors will remain locked.
Doors will be open for student arrival and dismissal, and day/evening programs.
At the Main Entrance, all visitors MUST press the "office button" for access to the office staff. There is a SACC button to notify Child Care. Please look directly into the camera and provide your name, name of your student, and teacher’s name for our employees monitoring the camera. Please present your identification to our office staff or in the case of SACC, our Child Care staff.
Student safety is always a top priority. We have outlined in this newsletter a few reminders about our parking lot to help ensure our students are safe when entering and exiting the building. Please take a few moments to read through the parking lot procedures. If we all follow these guidelines, we will have a safe parking lot for all our Erie families. Thank you for your cooperation.
Hand Hygiene:
Hand washing and hand sanitizer will be used frequently throughout the day.
Screening for Symptoms
Parents are asked to check their child each morning before sending them to school. Students that are sick should stay home from school.
