Morning Drop Off
We've gotten some feedback and questions about our morning drop off procedures. Please help us all in the mornings for a smooth transition to everyone's day.
* Drop off begins at 8:30AM. That is when we open the doors to let students in and when we have supervision for the drop off lane.
* Students can be dropped off any time between 8:30 and 8:45AM. We usually have everyone off of the playground by 8:40AM. We have been closing the doors when we see no more students coming and will continue to do that as the weather gets colder. If you don't see any doors open when you arrive, drop your child off at Door #1 and have them ring the buzzer by the door.
*The drop off lane near the sidewalk is for students who are independent enough to get themselves out of the car quickly. We have had parents leave their vehicles or sit in the lane with their child in the car and this creates an unsafe situation for the rest of the cars moving through the area.
Thank you so much for your help in all of these items. Drop off has been going great this year and we just have a couple adjustments to make.

PTO Scrip Cards: Order are Due Monday
One of the ways that PTO raises funds is by selling gift cards at face value through Scrip. Scrip then gives a percentage back to our school. The funds errand go right back to teachers so that they can provide additional curriculum, apps and materials for our students.
Scrip gift cards cost families no extra money; you get a $25 gift card for $25.
If you buy groceries, gas or shop online all you need to do is fill out this order form OR order online. You can order online, use the RaiseRight app or fill out the order form being sent home next week. Many cards are available online as eGift Cards so you can use them right away.
All you need is our enrollment code: FD5A9L5F1LL55
A copy of the order form can be found HERE.
