Schlegel Safari Newsletter
November 2021
Dear Schlegel Families,
Thank you for your support as we continue into the winter months this school year. Our students and staff continue to shine each day evident in their conversations, written work and daily interactions. We have engaged in conversations with individual students, small groups of students and classes about what it means to be Crew. Crewmates show the CARE attributes (Cooperation, Accountability, Respect which equals Excellence). Our hope is you see and hear your child showing the CARE attributes at home too.
Our students and staff go outside all year long unless the temperature is below 19 degrees. Please be sure your child is prepared to play outside each day (extra clothes are encouraged).
We are grateful to our families for supporting the PTSA Leo Pie fundraiser. Thank you to the volunteers who organized the event. Be sure to check out the PTSA website for upcoming events and ways you can help.
Enjoy the holiday season spending time with your family and friends. Be safe and be well!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday!
Dr. Francine Leggett and Kate Hesla
Principal and Assistant Principal

Arrival and Dismissal-Updated October 2021
The Arrival and Dismissal process will help us expedite students being picked up and dropped off. Please note the following:
BUSES DRIVERS
- BUSES will use the bus loop for arrival and dismissal.
- BUSES will arrive first.
- Bus passes will be approved for emergency situations only. Please do not request bus passes for playdates.
Kindergarten, First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Grade Family Drivers
- KDG-5 Drivers will use the perimeter of the LARGE parking lot to line up for drop-off and pick-up.
- CLICK the Announce button at DISMISSAL when you see the staff holding the sign. IF you can't choose that option, please stop. The staff member will put your code in for you.
- Schlegel Staff will let you know when your child should depart the vehicle.
- Drivers REMAIN in their vehicle.
UPK Families
- Please plan on dropping your child off in the bus loop. Wait for a bus loader to start the line once buses depart.
- Please continue to pick your child up in the car line found in the LARGE parking lot.
- You MAY park your car and wait for the traffic to slow down and then walk your child up to the Recess doors.
- Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. McNamara, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Gruttadaro and Miss Eckman will meet families to collect or dismiss students.
- UPK students will exit through the recess doors at the end of their day, 1:00pm, with the UPK staff. You MAY park your car and walk up to the doors. Please note that recess may be taking place during this time.
OWL Families
- Please pick up and drop off your students in the small lot circle found on the LEFT side of the school.
- If buses are in the small loop, please wait until they depart before you drive in to drop off or pick up your child.
WonderCare Families
- Use the small parking lot to drop off and pick up your child(ren).
- Please plan on dropping and picking your child off at the side Door 5 (marked above the door)
In order to make this process timely and efficient, I am asking all parents to download the pikmykid app.
