Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for the week of 8/12/19
I hope that you have had a wonderful summer and are feeling energized to start the 2019-2020 school year at SME!
It was nice to see many of you at the Welcome Back Events both Friday and yesterday at Memorial Park. Those of you who have not yet gone on Parent Portal to find out your class placement, should do so by visiting our school website at sme.pusd.us and then clicking on Parent Portal. Also, don’t forget to print out and bring in the forms from Parent Portal, for each student. Sign-ups for PTA membership and AFB Donations will remain available on our website as well as Parent Portal, for your convenience.
As you plan for tomorrow morning drop off, please remember our traffic plan. Student drop-off will be on Auburn St. and pick up will be on Highland Ave. Do not leave your car unattended. If you wish to leave your car and accompany your child to their classroom, please park on side streets. Please be considerate of neighbors by not blocking driveways, moving trash cans or parking in the Bethany Christian School parking lot. Please be sure to use designated cross-walks to cross the street. Also, use a pedestrian entry to the campus, on Auburn or at one of the south corners of Highland Ave. Students should not walk through or be dropped off in the staff parking lot, even if escorted by an adult. School entrances will be on Auburn through the compass and Highland via the front door.
Here are the announcements for this week:
Monday, August 12th students in grades 1st-3rd will meet their teachers up on the playground, 4th and 5th graders on the compass, and Kindergarten students in their classroom between 7:35am-7:45am. All students will follow their teachers to their classrooms at 7:50am. If you arrive tardy, please stop by the office for classroom locations.
Also on Monday, PTA is hosting a New Family Coffee + Tea + Me in the Arts Discovery Room at 8am, upstairs in room 201. Please come meet other new families and ask questions. Immediately following, we will have our first volunteer orientation starting at 8:30am where you can participate in the orientation and/or fill out your volunteer renewal paperwork.
Don’t forget, we have early dismissal on Mondays at 12:35pm on the front grass. Kindergarten students need to be picked up from their classrooms
