OCTOBER IS BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH
Students will be participating in lessons and activities all month long to learn about preventing childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion in schools, homes, and communities.
Try some of these ideas to help our world be a more welcoming and inclusive place for everyone:
- Hold the door for someone
- Reach out to tell someone they are important to you
- Thank someone for doing something they do for you every day
- Learn to say hello in other languages
Together we can create communities that are kinder, more inclusive and accepting for all students. Learn what you can do at https://www.pacer.org/bullying/
PARENT REPRESENTATIVEs NEEDED
Parking Lot Safety
The following guidelines will assist us in keeping our students safe in the parking lot:
- Proceed in the Aspen parking lot at no more than 5 miles per hour.
- Walk with your child across the parking lot using the marked crosswalk.
- Do not allow your child to walk unattended between cars.
- Stay in the right hand lane, move all the way forward, and drop your student off from the right side of the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended in the drive-thru lanes.
- Follow the California Vehicle Code laws.
- Remind your child to respect people’s property.
Consider the following:
- You may pull up to the curb at the front of the school to drop off your student.
- You may park on the street on Oberlin or Marlowe and walk your student on campus.
- Please do not block driveways.
- Be mindful of labeled No Parking zones near the crosswalks.
- The gates at the front of the school will be open for entry and exit. There will not be access through the gate on Marlowe.
- Arrange with your student ahead of time a location for pickup.
