Safety Reminders!
- School Zones are 25 mph. Please slow down and watch for students and parents walking in the crosswalks and crossing the street.
- It should only take 10-15 seconds for students to hop out of the car in the drop-off lane. Pull up as far as you can in the drop-off lane. Please ask your child to have his/her mask on and backpack, lunch, and water bottle right next to him/her in the car. Do not leave your car unattended in the drop-off lane!
- The drop-off lane is much busier now. Kinder parents must park and walk their children to the gate. Kindergarteners need to wait with their parent/guardian for safety reasons.
Technology - iPads and Chromebooks
This year, we are continuing to be a "take home" device district, which means if attending in-person, your student(s) will bring their iPads/Chromebooks back and forth between home and school. Please make sure your student brings their device to school fully charged.
CDC REMINDER RE: INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
As a reminder, the CDC has made new recommendations for travel. Although there is no active restriction on travel, non-essential travel is highly discouraged. Since there are some questions regarding international travel, we plan to follow this guidance. Please use THIS GRID for guidance. There are two columns for vaccinated and not vaccinated travelers. Please note that there is a short quarantine time for those not vaccinated. If your student is traveling (or currently traveling) over these last few weeks, please adhere to these guidelines. Thank you.
Crossing Guard Needed!
Lost and Found
We're putting the cart out by the office each day. Please check for lost clothing, water bottles, etc. Everything that isn't claimed by the last day of school will be donated to charity.
