Spring is in the air today. This is the time of year when we get to watch the Earth come back to life with the greens and vibrant colors blooming all around us. The warmth of the sun fills us with energy and enthusiasm to be outside. It is our goal to bring all of this color and energy into our school. Our Gudith Elementary Community – students, teachers, support staff, parents, and the community are an amazing group of people. As we wrap up the second trimester of the year, I want to encourage us all to carry on with the energy that spring will bring. Carry on and enjoy the beauty that is all around us and especially in our students.

Drop Off and Pick Up
Dear Gudith Families,
At Gudith, it is our goal to create a climate and culture where all our students, parents, and teachers feel safe and secure in and around our school. This safe and secure feeling must extend out into the parking lot before and after school. The parking lot at Gudith School is a very busy place. With the close proximity of the parking lot to the school, it is important that we all follow these pick-up and drop-off expectations to ensure the safety of all our students.
MORNING DROP-OFF – Two ways!
• Using the drop-off lane – KISS AND GO ZONE
SINGLE LANE OF TRAFFIC – The second lane will be coned off!
- Use the whole lane to drop off.
- Pull up next to the curb to let your student out of the PASSENGER SIDE ONLY!
- Students are not permitted to walk past parked or moving cars unescorted.
• Escorting your student from the parking lot
- Park your car in a legal spot in the parking lot
- Walk your student to their line-up location to ensure a safe crossing from the parking lot.
AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP – Two ways!
• Using the pick-up lane
- Single Lane of traffic – The second lane will be coned off!
- Use the whole lane for pick-up
- Pull up next to the curb so that your student enters your vehicle on the
PASSENGER SIDE ONLY
- Pull forward when able
- If need, dive back around to allow for traffic flow
• Escorting your student to your car
- Park your vehicle in a legal spot in the lot
- Exit your vehicle and walk to the designated pick up locations by grade level
- Assist your student(s) as they cross through the lot.
- Do not call your students to your car
Early Pick Up
Please come into the office to sign out your student!
Anyone who picks up your child MUST be on your Emergency Contact List.
You can update your emergency contacts by logging into Parent Portal.
If you must pick up your student early, plan to pick them up prior to 3:30 pm, however, every effort should be made to alleviate this growing issue by honoring the school schedule.
Attendance Counts
Children can only thrive in school if they are present in school. Listed below are our definitions of and policies about attendance.
Absence—any day that a student misses school. REMOTE OR IN-PERSON
Late arrivals - After 10:00 am the student will be marked absent for the morning.
Early Dismissal - before 3:00 pm in the student will be marked absent for the PM.
Excused Absence—Any medically documented absence, funeral days, or court date will not be counted against the student.
Excessive Absences:
If a child accumulates 10 absences in a school year, the building administrator will send a letter to inform the parent/guardian
If the child reaches 15 absences in a school year the building administrator will inform the local police department of a potential truancy issue.
The police department will then contact or visit the child’s home to discuss the truancy with the parents.
If the absences reach 20 in a school year, according to law, referrals must be made to the Local Police Department and possibly, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
*Parents are encouraged not to take their children out of school for vacations. Vacation days are considered unexcused.
TARDIES—arrives late for leaves early from school and missing LESS than 55 minutes of school time
