Principal's Update
Hello Panther Community!
Our first few weeks back on campus have been very successful. Students have been adhering to our new safety procedures and seem eager to be back in class for in person learning. We had our first earthquake drill where students were very quiet and followed all directions to safely evacuate the building.
A few safety reminders:
When dropping off and picking up your students all adults and children over the age of 2 must wear a face mask. This is for your safety and the safety of others. It is also the law. Please remember to keep a social distance from others outside your household as well.
Many parents have been walking through the parking lot to drop off or pick up their students which is very dangerous for pedestrians and drivers. Please use the sidewalk for the safety of all students, staff, and parents.
When in the car line please remain in your car. This will help the car line to move faster with children getting in and out on their own. A staff member will be there to assist if needed.
If walking or parking to pick up your child please wait by the sidewalk of the MPR or the sidewalk by the exit driveway. With added adults on the sidewalk of the car line it is difficult to maintain a social distance and keep all children safe near moving vehicles.
Thank you for your cooperation to keep all students, staff, and families safe.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Schwartz
Halloween at School
We encourage all students to wear black and orange on Friday October 30. Students are not allowed to wear Halloween costumes to school and candy and treats are not allowed on campus. Thank you for understanding. We wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!
