Principal Points
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we enter May, here are some EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
Taft- Galloways' motto for the remainder of the year is to "Finish- Strong!" Parents, we need you to help support this initiative. Here are some ways to for YOU (the parents) to "Finish Strong:"
1. Parking Lot rules have not changed all year; however we are consistently having issues with parents who choose to break the rules repeatedly. THIS JEOPARDIZES THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF!
2. Please pull all the way way up in front of the building to drop off / pick up your child. (Please do not release or pick up your child along the entrance lane- this causes major back-ups)
3. Please do not exit your vehicle in the looping lane to retrieve your child. By now, every child should be able to get into the vehicle and buckle-up themselves .
4. Loopers stay to the left and people exiting stay to the right.
5. Only turn right onto Gloria when exiting the parking lot.
6. Please be respectful to our volunteers. They are only trying to help the process work as efficient and effective as possible and most importantly keep our students safe.
7. Please RE-WATCH our video by clicking this link:
