Traffic Flow
Please review this GIF for an overview of how traffic will flow during arrival and dismissal. Students will be allowed to enter the building at 7:50 a.m. (Late Arrival Days: 9:30 a.m.). Dismissal will begin at 4:00 p.m. each day.
CAR RIDER LOOP / WALKERS
For the safety of our students, please do not move our parking cones in any area that is placed to direct traffic. Our traffic signage is expected to be completed soon. Just a few reminders for safety…
1 - The front car rider loop is a “ONE WAY” at all times. Please do not exit the front parking lot, turning right. It is a “left turn” only to follow the car rider loop. Our car rider loop is a double-stacking lane in one direction at all times. “ONE WAY” signs will be posted soon!
2 - The stop sign in the curve of the car rider line was placed there on accident. You may disregard this sign and continue to proceed around the car rider loop to help continue to flow of drop-offs/pick-ups. Please be patient and kind as you merge into one lane in the car rider loop.
3 - Do not drive through cones in the parking lot. We have had to replace several cones that have been destroyed by cars running over them.
4 - In the car rider loop, please encourage your child to be ready to “unload” as soon as your car stops in front of the school (Under the awning area). This helps us move the line faster, get you through the car rider loops faster, and get kids in the building on time. We appreciate you for always “pulling all the way down” before you stop! The thumbs up, smiles, and waves are all in appreciation!!!
If your child is a walker, remind them to proceed home as soon as they are dismissed. We have too many students that are hanging out in front of the school/on campus that should be leaving the campus when they are dismissed. Students found not leaving the campus immediately will receive consequences.
GRADES/HAC
Please ensure to check HAC to review your child’s grades and any missing assignments. Set alerts in HAC to help you monitor when the grade falls below your expectations. Encourage your child to attend tutorials. The 3rd nine weeks ends on March 10, 2023. This 9 weeks grade is critical to the end-of-year average. Each 9 weeks grade is used to calculate promotion to the next grade or retention (the requirement for summer school).
8th-Grade Panoramic Group Photo
On March 28, 2023, all 8th-grade students will take the Pre-ACT exam. After the exam is over, all 8th-grade students will take a group panoramic photo. Attached to this email is a flyer for you to review. We ask that all students who would like a copy of this photo pay the school on March 28th or 29th. There will only be a 2-day sale for this photo. The picture of our first 8th-grade class will be framed and displayed in the hallway of the school for years to come! Purchase your piece of legacy on March 28th! (Students are asked to wear a GATOR Spirit Shirt or a dark green shirt).
