IMPORTANT CARPOOL INFORMATION
For everyone's safety, please review the following carpool rules:
Help us protect our PRE families, carpool staff members, and passersby. DO NOT turn left out of the Penny Road driveway during morning or afternoon carpool!
- Students may exit the vehicle as soon as your car is between carpool staff members!
- Keep the carpool line flowing to alleviate traffic on Penny Road - no lengthy stops please.
- Always have students exit on the right side (sidewalk side) of your car.
AFTERNOON PICK UP
- Please be aware of staff members directing traffic. Drive slowly and please refrain from talking on your cell phone.
- Parents may stand outside their car to find their children so they do not walk past the car.
If your child walks past your car and misses you, please remain in your car, proceed with the flow of traffic and let the next staff member know that you do not have your child by giving the thumbs down signal. They will direct you as to what to do next.
- Please do not allow children to walk between cars when loading. Children should enter the car from the middle of the two lanes of traffic.
- Give the staff a thumbs up if you have your child, a thumbs down if you still need your child.
- When you are loaded, please remain in your traffic line and wait to be directed to leave. Please DO NOT drive down the middle of the two lines of traffic.
Bus Loop
- Cars are not allowed to park in the bus loop during morning or afternoon pick drop off/pick up times

Spirit Night at City BBQ
Creative Commons Needs Volunteers
The Penny Road Elementary Creative Commons (Media Center) is looking for volunteers. Mrs. Platts, our Library/Technology teacher could use some help with clerical duties, including re-shelving returned library books. Volunteers would not be obligated to work directly with students. Just 30 minutes to an hour would make a difference. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Sabrina Lewandowski at sabrinalew1@yahoo.com
