•The District 11 mass notification system (The D11 Loop) is a messaging system that allows us to communicate with you concerning your child’s assignments, schedule, grades, attendance, lunch balance, and special events happening at school. In addition, in the event of the emergency, D11 Loop is the fastest, most reliable way that your child’s school or the District can get need-to-know information directly to you.

•Notifications will be pushed out to the mobile app as well as sent out via texts, emails, and phone calls, depending on the type of notification.

•D11 Loop utilizes the contact information for your family that you have provided to your child’s school, and they have documented in the Q student database. It is important that you communicate with your child’s school regularly to ensure that they always have accurate phone numbers and email addresses on file for your family.

You can download the app by going to the d11 website https://www.d11.org/APP

Providing a safe school environment for our students is one of our top priorities. We expect that rules will be followed so that students will remain safe on school grounds. Please, be considerate and respectful of others while driving and walking in our parking lot! We are all doing our best to ensure the safety of your child. Drop-off time is 7:45 a.m. Staff members are on duty at that time.

Students who eat breakfast may arrive at 7:25 a.m.

· Always expect children to follow rules.

· Practice and model safe, considerate behavior for children.

· Allow enough time in your schedule to model safety rules.

· Please do not ask your students to come to you across the

parking lot unsupervised.

Also- we appreciate if you refrain from being on your cell phones while driving so that you can fully focus on the safety of our students. Thank you!

•Having students present and on time every day allows every opportunity for your child to learn all he/she can. Students learn responsibility when they are to school on time and present every day. Students who are here every day and on time tend to develop character traits that keep them out of trouble! Students learn habits that create successful students who receive better grades, who then graduate and acquire better jobs! At Taylor, we start in Kindergarten learning these healthy life habits! As parents, you can support our efforts of teaching positive life habits by making sure your child is present on time and every day possible. Refrain from taking them out early for appointments that can be made after school hours as much as possible.
