Falcon Families,
Pick Up & Drop Off Safety
We have had a number of safety concerns this past week in the lower parking lot which have put students, staff and other families at risk of injury. To ensure the safety of all our students, and school community members please follow these guidelines:
- Always use designated crosswalks in the parking lot and roadways.
- Wait patiently in the single file car line until you have reached the curb for students to enter or exit the passenger side of the vehicle. The car-line is complete within 15 minutes once students enter the pickup area.
- Drive slowly in the direction of traffic as small children can be difficult to see as they move about the car line area.
- Do not drive through parking spaces, or against traffic.
- Do not encourage children to enter the roadway for pickup in a vehicle.
- Park along the sidewalk or in the school parking lot when picking up students.
- Always looking for traffic and small children before pulling away from the curb.
- Look to staff members directing traffic for safety.
Families on campus & Visitors
A reminder that students and staff only are allowed on campus. Family members and supporting adults must remain in cars, on the outer sidewalk, or in the parking lot. Please communicate with your student and teacher where you will pick them up after school each day. TK, Kinder and ILS student car line will continue in the upper parking lot behind the school bus area. All other grades pick up and drop off in the lower lot. Visitors who need to enter the school office may park in the lower parking lot and walk along the outside of campus to enter the office from the upper parking lot area. If you need accommodations, please call our office and we will be happy to assist you.

Racial Justice
"All kids need a strong individual and group identity, but racism hurts the healthy development of both. Racism hurts our entire society. Whether you and the children in your care are directly affected by racism or you’re allies of those who are, engaging honestly and directly with little ones is the beginning of building racial literacy (the skills needed to talk thoughtfully about race and to identify and respond to racism). Here are resources to develop children’s understanding, curiosity, resilience, and empathy—and to prepare for the task of building a better world by standing up, standing tall, and standing together."
