Safety Information:

Starting Friday (the 12th) we created a yellow line in front of the school that we are asking parents to stay behind at the end of the day as students are dismissed from school. Our teachers are asked to ensure that they monitor students until they have been picked up, they are on the bus or they have left campus on their bike etc. First grade students will be dismissed at 3:25 through the front doors and will be escorted to the bus or they will wait with their teacher until their ride has been identified. Kindergarten and second through fifth grades will continue to be dismissed from their normal locations at their normal times. Thank you for your help with this!

Parking Lot: A few reminders as we move into our second week of school:

• Please stay in your car if you are dropping your student off or picking them up in the “Hug and Go” lane. If you need to get out of your car, please park in the lot to do so.

• Please pull forward as far as you can before having your student exit your vehicle on the passenger side.

• Please use one of our crosswalks when walking through the lot or across the street when approaching the school.

Evacuation Drill:

We will practice our first evacuation drill of the school year this Friday the 19th at 9:30 am. We will share with you our progress following the completion of the drill Friday morning. Please let me know if you would like to observe or participate in this drill.

Thank you!
