Nightengale's Pick-Up/Walker Lane
The Nightengale district consists of a lot of walker/parent transport students so please be mindful of the high volume of traffic going through the lane, students walking, as well as parents walking. Please read the following carefully and pass along to anyone who will be picking your child up so that we can keep the lane running smoothly. The drop-off lane is not a "double lane" and should not be used as such, with cars parking along the left-hand curb. It is a single lane and should be used that way to avoid any incidents. Our safety team is out there ensuring children are being picked up so it is okay if you are not up front right at 3, someone will be out with your child until all cars make it through for pick up.

P2 Trait of the Week:
Teamwork
Dear Families,
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Teamwork. Teamwork means you work well as a member of a group or team. You are loyal, reliable, and dedicated to helping your team achieve its goals.
Teamwork is the ability and willingness to place overall group success as a higher priority than individual achievement. Those who demonstrate strengths in teamwork often work to help all group members find success. These individuals are willing to commit time and resources in order to further group goals and help toward the greater good.
For individuals, teamwork often means deferring or delaying individual accomplishments in order to ensure that the group maintains a high level of success. Their commitment to the larger group effort makes them good teammates. The positive feelings associated with being part of a larger whole -- can be highly beneficial and combat selfishness and egotism.
To practice and encourage the character strength of teamwork with your child, please visit the Positivity Project’s P2 for Families (password: P2), where together you will watch a video, read a quote, and talk about the answers to three questions.
Have a wonderful week!
