Parent Pointer
From the website: "Parent Toolkit is a one-stop resource developed with parents in mind. It’s produced by NBC News Education Nation and supported by Pearson and includes information about almost every aspect of your child’s development, because they're all connected. Healthy, successful children can excel in many areas – in the classroom, on the court, and in their relationships with peers and adults. Our advice also covers important topics for navigating life after high school."

Traffic Information and Safety Guidelines
Please do not use your cell phone while you move through the drop-off or pick-up line. The proximity to buildings, other cars, and people, including children, make this a time that requires a great deal of attention.
Please do not park in the driveway or fire lanes at any time. This blocks traffic flow and could obstruct vehicles in the event of an emergency.
When dropping off students, please continue moving through the front drive until traffic in front of you has stopped. Please do not drop students off before reaching the sidewalks. This is very unsafe for students as they walk through the parking lot to reach the sidewalk.
Please make sure you pull as close to the car in front of you as is safely possible.
Please do not get out of line to go around a stopped car at anytime. It is important that cars are not moving while students are loading or unloading.
As much as possible, please leave your ignition off while waiting for the line to move forward. We have many students with asthma and air quality is important for keeping them healthy.
Please remember, school personnel on duty are there to maintain order, keep traffic moving smoothly, and insure student safety. Please comply with their requests.
Teacher Requests for 2018-19 School Year
In planning for next year and creating class lists, staff members will be providing a variety of input to insure that our students are placed in appropriate settings that maximize their chances for success. This week, you will receive a questionnaire about your student(s) to help us place them in a classroom that will maximize their success next year.
