Edmond Santa Fe High School
August 18, 2017
Dear Edmond Santa Fe Students and Parents:
Today has been an excellent first day at Edmond Santa Fe High School! Don't forget that Open House is Tuesday, August 22 from 6:00-8:00 pm. Parents will follow their student's class schedule starting at 6:00 pm with first hour.
With ongoing construction and more students than ever before, there are a few things for us to fix before Monday so that it can run more smoothly.
Drop-off/Pick-up
We have two entrances and exits with stoplights. One is the east entrance/exit off of 15th Street and the other is the west entrance/exit off of Santa Fe. Please try to use these two points when entering and leaving campus. Doing so will allow you to have a protected turn both coming and going (thanks to the stoplight). From 7:00-8:00 am and from 2:30-3:45 pm, we need to limit the west entrance off of 15th (without a stoplight) to only School Buses and School Personnel. You may still exit at that part of campus, but we need you to not turn left from 7:00-8:00 am and from 2:30-3:45 pm. These adjustments will alleviate many of the traffic congestion issues experienced on the first day.
Parking
The Front Drive is not yet designed for visitor parking. Please use the Front Drive for Drop-Off/Pick-up only. After the new South Parking Lot is completed, there will be over 100 parking spaces up front which will be designated for visitors, handicapped, and staff. These new parking spots can be accessed via the Front Drive. Please do not park in the Front Drive at this time.
Solar Eclipse (August 21)
Only students with Solar-Safety Sunglasses will be allowed to leave class from 12:50-1:05 pm to view the Solar Eclipse. Other students not participating will remain in 5th Hour Classes during this time.
Open House (August 22)
Tuesday, August 22 from 6:00-8:00 pm. Parents will follow their student's class schedule starting at 6:00 pm with first hour. Have your students send you pictures of their schedules or access the schedules on Parent Portal.

Francis Tuttle Shuttle Bus and Agriculture Shuttle Bus
The Francis Tuttle Buses go to two different campuses.
An Agriculture Student who rides the bus will need to leave the class just prior to Agriculture class five minutes early to catch the bus. Teachers will be sent a copy of the schedule on Monday so that they can help remind Agriculture students to leave on time.
We will post the shuttle bus schedules for Francis Tuttle and Agriculture to the school website.
Chromebook Checkout
Freshman and Sophomore Students will receive their Chromebooks at some point next week. There is still time to pay for your $30.00 protection plan in advance of the students receiving their devices. Thank you for your help as we work to make learning using technology an important part of the educational process.
P (Practice Respect)
A (Accept Responsibility)

See you next week!
Respectfully,
