We are ready, are you?
Important beginning of the year details.
We Are Ready, Are You?
We are working also to make the most of our limited space. Sadly, we have not yet acquired the lot next door but anticipate getting it eventually. We have arranged our lunch arbor so that Coach Lindsey will be able to use it and we have created an agreement with the park for us to teach some of our PE classes there. We will have play space for the kids during recess however it will be not as big as our previous blacktop. Our recess staff has been stocking up on games and activities for the kids in the limited space. These activities will be rotated throughout the year. We know it is not ideal but feel certain it will be worth it eventually.
Until we get the lot next door parking is going to be tight, please give yourself extra time and bring an extra measure of patience in navigating the area. We are all working very hard to make this the best experience possible for you during construction.
Pick Up and Drop Off - Please Read All The Way Through
You are always welcome to park and walk your students in to their classroom. If you are unable to or do not want to we will have staff members out to assist with drop off. You can see on the image above that there are two areas that you can drop off in the morning. Please get in the habit of having your child ready to go as you pull up so that it can be efficient and safe. Parking is not allowed in this space, it really complicates the flow of things when cars are parked in this area.
Pick Up
If your child is in K-2 they are picked up at their classroom, if there is an older sibling they may come to the pick up zone with them for pick-up.
Many people reported liking the staggered pick-up times last year so we are going to continue with that. Students will only be picked up in the front of the school on Levant St (Please see in the illustration above where it says afternoon pick-up). It will begin at 3pm, if you come early you will need to find a spot to park in or circle the street until 3pm.
Grades K-2 will be picked up at the classrooms
Grades 3-5 will be a 3pm pick-up
Grades 6-8 will begin at 3:15pm
When you pull up we will call your student and have them load into your car. Pick-Up will be staffed until 3:40 pm, if you are unable to pick up your students by then they will simply join our Extended Day Program until you arrive.
