Triton Elementary School Summer Updates - Sept. 10, 2021
Principal's Update
The school year is off to a great start for our students and staff. It was great to meet with so many of our families on Tuesday and Wednesday during the interview days. As we roll into the school year know that it is priority of ours to connect with our families. Please do not hesitate to reach out if issues arise. We look forward to working together to make Triton a great place to grow and learn!

Pick Up At End of Day
We appreciate the efforts over the last two days to create a more safe situation for our pick up at the end of the day. All cars were out of the parking lot before the buses left on the first day of school. Today, the parking lot was empty by 3:13.
A few important reminders that will help improve:
- Please do not stop in the drive thru lane.
- If there is space ahead of you in the pick up lane, please pull up. Of course you will want to leave enough room for you to pull into the drive thru lane if necessary.
- If it is necessary to park, please use the parking spaces. I would also encourage you to pull through so that you do not have to back out.
- Now that we know who the riders are we will be issuing laminated name papers to place in the passenger window.
We will continue to improve this process. Our number one priority is the safety of our students!
Crossing Guard
We have more students walking than years past which is awesome! We will continue to have a crossing guard in the mornings (7:40 am) and afternoons. The crossing guards have commented that the students have been very respectful which has been great to hear!
Picture Day Information
Picture day will take place this year on September 28 and 29. Retakes will be on Oct. 28.
