GRANDPARENTS' DAY DATE CHANGE!!!!
Our dates for Grandparents' Day have changed!! Please update your calendars and notify your grandparents and/or grandfriends of this change!!
The new dates will be:
Thursday, October 3rd for students whose last names begin with A-L
Friday, October 4th for students whose last names begin with M-Z
Morning Drop-Off Reminders
Students may be dropped off using the back car line at 7:30. (We often try to have a staff member there as early at 7:25 for your convenience but we cannot make any guarantees!)
Students should NOT be dropped off in the front parking lot. The front parking lot is ONLY used if the parent/family member needs to come into the office.
Merge kindly and use your blinker at the stop sign!
Have students kissed and loved before getting to the drop off location. Unbuckle and have backpack/lunchbox ready for exit! Please have students exit on the passenger side nearest the awning.
Remind your child that as soon as your car stops at the drop-off area, they may exit the car. They do not have to wait for an adult to open their door.
Wait patiently for the line to move forward. Do not go around cars where students are still exiting the car.
We will continue to get faster but know that keeping our kids safe is always our top priority!
Car Rider Reminders
The back gate will open around 2:00-2:30 in the afternoon.
Afternoon back car pick up
Students will
*Sit with their grade level
*Remain seated at all times
*Keep all items in backpacks until they get into their car
*Listen for their name and color to be called
