I cannot thank you enough for working with us on our traffic patterns!!! Our kindergarten, fourth and fifth grade drivers have truly rocked it with patience and adaptability out on the bus loop side during dismissal! We will continue to double lane you until the bend in the road due to space, return to double lanes after the narrow neck, and then direct you to single lane for pick up. Again, thank you so much!!!
Please remember that you must bring your driver's license or passport for signing in at kiosk for entry into the school. I apologize as I know that there have been some glitches for some. The company is working with us to clear this up.
Also, if your child is absent, please send a note to your child's teacher. This helps us with attendance records and in excusing the absence. If you take your child to the doctor, please ask for a doctor's note as this is a medical excuse.
Please do enjoy your family during this 3-day weekend! Read, read, read! Enjoy a great book with your child/children and outdoor activities! Hydrate...drink lots of water! Happy Labor Day!
Yours truly,
Jan Fickling, Principal of Midway Elementary
