Principal's Message
Dear Noddin Community,
What a wonderful first week of school! You could absolutely see the joy in student's faces as they got to reconnect with one another, learn about their teacher and classroom, and participate in the all of the social and relationship building activities at school!
Noddin keeps an presence on Twitter! This is one of the best ways to get a peek into what's happening in and out of the classrooms, including learning, fun activities, and school events. Please visit twitter.com/noddinelem often, or search #noddinelem
Below, please find links to the Noddin Parent Student Handbook - 2021 - 22 and the latest communication from the district office.
Last, this Wednesday, August 18 is Back to School Night! This will be a virtual event hosted by your child's teacher. They will contact you directly with ZOOM information and start time. This will be a chance for parents and guardians to learn more about their student's classroom, teacher, and more!
Sincerely,
Eric Scharer
Important Reminders Regarding School Safety
Now that we have returned in-person, we need to return to pre-campus closure campus safety measures. This is for the safety of everyone!
Adults and Students: Please do not bike, scoot, or skateboard through the parking lot or on busy sidewalks during dismissal and drop-off. When walking, please stay on the sidewalks.
Dogs are not allowed on campus, including the parking area, grass, and walkways leading to the school. The school campus begins where the public sidewalk ends. If walking a dog while dropping-off or picking up, you must remain on the public sidewalk.
Do not temporarily park or stop in the red zone/fire zone by the Kinder/PreK playground.
I know this is an attractive spot for our PreK - 2nd grade families, but this area must stay clear to others, as well as preventing traffic backing up onto the street (Gilda Way). If you are trying to access this area of the school, drive all the way down the white pick-up/drop-off zone that runs along the front of the school. Drop off your student on the passenger side and an adult supervisor will escort your student.
You may also park near the school and walk from that point.
Please do not park in the parking lot. Noddin is fully staffed and gets visitors. All parking spots are needed.
A more expanded version of school safety rules is in the Noddin Parent/Student Handbook.
