The mission of Cedar Grove Elementary is to grow our students into respectful, curious and productive citizens.
HELP US WITH ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL!
2021 "Drop & Go" Initiative
As the district continues to plan for increasing the amount of time students receive in-person learning, we need to be proactive in identifying and addressing challenges to the successful implementation of the plan. One area that we need your help in improving is the arrival and dismissal procedures in the Brookside Drive parking lot.
This year we have an increased number of students arriving by car to school. We anticipate that the number of cars could potentially double which will lead to increased tardiness and a backup along Brookside Drive if we do not work cooperatively to solve this problem.
In order to improve arrival and drop off procedures, I am asking that everyone adhere to the following guidelines:
Arrival/Drop off
Walk whenever possible
Follow our 2021 Drop & Go Initiative procedures
Dismissal/Pick up
Walk whenever possible
When pulling into the ferry lanes, pull up as far as possible in the lane to reduce the space between cars
When the ferry lanes are full, pull into the parking spaces that run opposite and parallel to the school
Encourage your child/ren to come directly out of school and enter your vehicle as quickly and safely as possible
Be patient when cars are dismissed. It takes approximately ten minutes from dismissal to when cars begin to leave the property.
We appreciate your support in the safe and smooth operation of our school.

School Health Program -- Important Information
A Message from Catherine Shea, RN MS (TRRS Nurse Coordinator)
The "School Health Program" designed to improve, protect, and promote the health of all students has been delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions. As a result of COVID-19, the school nurses will not be providing students with health screenings this year. Please contact your child's school nurse, if there is a specific concern regarding your child's health.
Furthermore, the Academy of Pediatrics recommends all children to have a yearly wellness visit. If your child has received his/her annual physical from a pediatrician, please forward a copy of the physical to the school nurse.
