Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I don't have many updates this week. Please remember that our virtual open houses are on Tuesday, September 21st. They are listed in the upcoming events section of this newsletter.
I know many community members are upset about the traffic issue at parent drop off and parent pick up on Battlefield Blvd. I wish there was something that I could do to resolve this issue but there isn't. My staff is working as hard and as fast as they can to unload and load your children into the cars. We are able to get almost 300 cars loaded within 30 minutes at parent pick up. There are a few things that you can do for us to speed up this process:
- Have you parent pick up number taped to your right side passenger window. We cannot see the number clearly in the windshield.
- Have your child sit on the right side of the car.
- Do not leave your vehicle.
- If you need to assist your child with buckling the seat belt, please pull into the middle of the parking lot in the bus lanes.
Additionally, parent walk ups must be patient with the process. Our priority is clearing the parent pickup cars first. Why? We are trying to clear Battlefield Blvd. as quick as possible. We will release parent walk up students when most cars are cleared or when staff is available.
Please do not to arrive on campus for parent pick up before 2:00. Traffic is beginning to back up on Battlefield Blvd as early as 12:30. This is unsafe.
Respectfully,
Brighid Gates
