Spring is Almost Here!
Although March 1 was a bit colder than February 28, we are officially rounding the corner on winter and heading to spring. This is always an exciting time of year for our students. Warmer weather and being outside lead the way in areas that we all look forward to.
There are many surveys in this month's newsletter that may or may not apply to your child or family. Please help us to gather all necessary information for our fall 2021 planning purposes. If you have any questions please email me. I've really enjoyed receiving many parent emails with positive feedback this year. Has your child's teacher gone above and beyond? Please share that information with me.
Have a happy beginning to spring!

Car Line Procedures
- Arriving early and waiting will most likely take more of your time than showing up closer to our doors open and dismissal time. We need everyone to show up closer to our advertised times in order to lessen traffic on streets close to the school.
- Preschool parents should be the only people in our car line before 2:30. Our preschool parents pick up around 2:10 and have been blocked by people waiting for our 2:45 dismissal. Please help us by keeping the car line open for preschool pickup. These students need the most help with car pickup and a clear line really helps.
- Please do not park your car and walk across the street to greet your child. When you remain in your car it helps us to worry less about pedestrians and takes less time to get students to where they need to be.
