Prestwood Connection
August 12, 2022
Welcome to the 2022-2023 School Year!
We are so EXCITED to welcome your Prestwood student back to campus on Monday! Summer has flown by but everyone at Prestwood can't wait to kick off the 2022-2023 school year. In this newsletter, you will find information about parking, drop-off and pick up, and COVID. I will continue to communicate throughout the school year on these topics and more.
Video Message - This week's edition of the Prestwood Connection has a special video message that I hope you will share with you student.
Our first day of school is on Monday, August 15 from 8:20am - 1:15pm (1:10pm for TK/Kindergarten/1st). The bell will ring at 8:18am for school to begin on time at 8:20am.
School Meals - School meals will be FREE for all students for the 2022/2023 school year!
Family Handbook - Students will be sent home with a copy of the Prestwood Family Handbook on the first day of school.
I am looking forward to seeing our classrooms full of students again!

Video Message for Prestwood Students
I am so excited to meet you this week. Below is a special video message I wanted to share with you. I am looking forward to meeting you and seeing all the wonderful things you will learn this year.
See you on Monday,
Mrs. Thomas
Parking on Campus
Drop Off Lane - Staff members will be ready to greet your student in the drop off lane if you choose to use this option. We do ask that only the student exits the car preferable on the passenger's side. Drivers should stay in their cars to keep the drop off lane moving.
Street Parking - There is lots of street parking in front of Prestwood. We will continue to use the drop off lane in the parking lot. Below is a map of what the drop off procedure will be. Again, I ask for your patience and flexibility as we work though the "growing pains" on the MPR construction.
