February Updates
February is here!
Thank you parents for a supportive January school month! While we celebrated many achievements of our students, we also worked feverishly to get some updates to our school. We are able to get our school walls and classrooms painted every 10-15 years. This was our year and it already looks great! We unfortunately aren't allowed to put anything up on the walls for 3 months after the painting. So if you notice bare walls, this gives you an update as to why. We are excited that GCPS uses its resources wisely to continue to make our school a beautiful place to work and learn.

Car Rider Procedures
Please do not release students from the parking lot, release them from cars or walk them to the door prior to 8:20 AM. It isn't safe and it also presents a hazard because we have no one there to supervise them until the school bell rings at 8:20 AM. We want to show understanding to all of the parents who come early to sit in line and assure that they are able to get their child in soon and off to work as well. Coming in to circumvent that poses a problem for all car rider parents and also those who patiently wait in their cars. if you have any feedback for this procedure, please don't hesitate to call me.
School Communication-Changes
We miss this feature, as it was a great way to communicate with parents and our community. However, we hope to keep you informed on our website, Principal's Desk, and social media pages.
We have received approval to utilize Class Dojo, so you will be getting correspondence from your child's teacher if they use this format for communication.

Friendly Reminders
- All visitors will be asked at the door who they are and their reason for entering the building by our front desk clerk. Always have your ID ready to show every time. Vanessa Camacho-Chapparo is our new front desk clerk and is happy to join our team. Please be patient with our new district requirement that ensures a stronger and safe environment for our school community.
- We will begin our morning announcements at 8:45 AM daily and ask that all car riders are in their seats ready to begin their day prior to 8:45 AM.
- We are going to use Mypaymentsplus for all of our monetary transactions besides small fundraisers throughout the year. Please make sure that you sign up for this with the information below.
- We are infusing social emotional learning with our PBIS discipline program. Every classroom will have morning meeting daily where they will greet one another, share something based on a focused topic, engage in an activity and end with a morning message. This 10 minute activity every day ties to our AKS, but also helps to start the day off positively. Ask your child about the amazing experience.
