The Racer Review
August 26, 2021
Dear French Families,
What a wonderful start to the school year we have had! It has been so great to see all of our Racer's sweet faces. We have had a spectacular six days of school! The students are getting settled in and adjusting to the processes and procedures. We are so thrilled to get going with the best year yet! In an effort to safely expedite our carpool lines both in the morning and afternoon, we will be making some revisions to our plan starting next week (August 30, 2021) . Please read and familiarize yourself with the information below. Our main goal during arrival and dismissal is student safety. We look forward to working with you to provide the very best for our Racers.
Sincerely,
Holly Conroy, Principal
Arrival and Dismissal Updates
Please Read:
Arrival:
All car riders enter through the front drive and pull up to the first open cone to drop off your student(s). French staff and safety patrols will be on the front porch to assist students as they arrive. We have noticed some cell phone usage in the car rider line. Please refrain from using your cell phone while in the carpool line, because the safety of our students is paramount. Please remember it is against the law to use cell phones in school zones.
Starting Monday, August 30, 2021 our front parking lot will be closed from 7:40 until 8:10 and then again in the afternoon from 3:20 until the end of carpool. This will ensure the safety of our students and help to expedite the front car lines.
Dismissal:
As you enter the front drive, please make sure your carpool tag is visible and hanging from your rearview mirror. Please keep this tag hanging all the way through the car line. We will only be loading students on the side of the porch between the main building entry and the bike racks. It is imperative that the tag remains visible until your child is safely in your vehicle. If you do not have a carpool tag at this time, please complete this Car Pool Tag Request form for a tag to be made. Again, our front parking lot will be closed during dismissal (3:20 pm until end of carpool).
Walkers/Bikers Reminders:
Parents of walkers and bikers should meet their students at the marquee(if leaving from the front of the school) or the backstop at the farthest left corner of the school property(if leaving from the back).
Buses:
Parents of K-2 students, please be at the bus stop as your child is dropped off. Bus drivers will not release these students with no parent present. These students will be brought back to school and parents called for pick up.
