A Message from Mrs. Petricek
We're a good month into school and are rocking and rolling! Students have made new friends and are immersed in learning! We've had a great start to the year thanks to our fantastic families, teachers, staff members, and students!
Just a couple of reminders about our arrival and dismissal procedures. We've had a pretty smooth start, with just a couple of hiccups! Because our teachers and staff members have groups starting at 8:45, we have to shut the south doors at 8:43. If you see the cone outside, please pull around to the front and drop off your student. On rainy days or days with inclement weather, this may require you to start a little earlier to make the 8:43 drop-off time. Please do not "cut the line" and park in the south lot and have your child walk to the doors, as this interrupts the flow of traffic and could be dangerous. For car rider dismissal, Mr. Smith or Mrs. Gaddis will load your child's name into our spreadsheet as they make their way through the car line. Please make sure enter the car rider line at the end so that your child's name gets into the spreadsheet; if your name isn't on the sheet, the teachers don't know to send your child, which causes a back up in our procedures. Pack your patience on extremely hot, rainy, or snowy days, as our car rider lines are longer on these days!
If your child rides the bus, we would love for you to have a quick conversation with your child about kind words and actions, as we've gotten some bus reports about rambunctious and unkind behavior. Our counseling crew is also talking about kindness and integrity, and we appreciate your partnership!
Here's to a fantastic school year!
