Hello Park Village families,
As administrators, our number one priority is safety, safety for both students and staff. It is imperative, especially, as the rain approaches, that everyone slow down and abide by the same traffic and parking rules. Please, let's work together to ensure all of our penguins are safe.
REMINDER: Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
Attention Drivers:
Enter our school parking lot from Park Village Road, drop off or pick up your child(ren) in the designated area in front of the school, and exit at Camino Del Sur. Traffic flow is ONE WAY ONLY. Students need to exit vehicles on the curbside only. Entering the parking lot from Camino Del Sur and exiting at Park Village Road is not allowed.
Please DO:
Keep the big picture in mind. It is difficult to dismiss almost 700 students at the same time. Your patience and awareness of traffic, students, and adults around you will provide for a safer area for all.
Park in the overflow lot next to the park or on Camino Del Sur passed the roundabout and walk to school to pick up your child(ren).
Cross the street and parking lot in crosswalks only.
Use your turn signals--it helps people know where you’re going.
Pick up & drop off in the school-designated areas only (see map).
Double-parking on Camino Del Sur is illegal and unsafe.
The parking on Camino Del Sur has a 5 minute limit. Please be mindful that this is for short term stopping only.
The ESS lot is for ESS students and bus riders - only.
Please DO NOT
Do not leave your car unattended to walk your student(s) to the gate.
DO NOT DROP OFF OR PICK UP YOUR CHILD(REN) OR MOTION THEM TO YOUR CAR ON PARK VILLAGE ROAD. Picking up on Park Village and pulling into traffic is not safe.
Do not block crosswalks, driveways, or pull in the red to drop off.
Do not make a U-turn into the ESS and then pull into the drop-off/pick-up line
Best,
Amie and Stephanie
Friendly February

Common Sense Media
Helping our Penguins become Digitally Literate
Park Village Elementary School has been using Common Sense Education's innovative and research-based digital citizenship resources, which were created in collaboration with researchers from Project Zero, led by Howard Gardner at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and are grounded in the real issues students and teachers face. The resources teach students, educators, and parents tangible skills related to internet safety, protecting online reputations and personal privacy, media balance, managing online relationships, and media literacy. The free K–12 curriculum is used in classrooms across all 50 states, in more than 80,000 schools by more than 1,00,000 educators.

Students will be able to create their FunRun account once they receive their unique code on Tuesday Feb. 6.
