Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! We hope you had a safe and restful break. Here are just a few reminders for parents of students in the responsive plan as we begin 2nd semester.
- If you are dropping your student off in the morning on the S. Elm lot, please remember to pull all the way up to where I am standing. We need to fit as many cars in the parent line as possible. When you stop in the middle of the line, it creates a back up on Ambrose and possibly Elm. Thank you for your help with this.
- If you drop your student off after 8:25 am, then your student is late to school. We lock the Elm doors at 8:25 am because at that point, class has started. If your student is late to school, please drive around to the circle drive and have your student enter through the Cafeteria entrance. A staff member will meet your student there and make sure he or she checks in at the main office.
