Jarid is a kind hearted student. His teachers have noticed all the seemingly small ways he shows kindness everyday, including holding the door for people, always having a big smile on his face, and even when he is not having the brightest day, he still seems to give his best effort in school and is kind to everyone.

Morning Drop-Off Concern- A Mother's Point of View
Hi Mr. Widor,
I writing you in regards to an ongoing issue I see with the morning drop off that I have observed to be worse this year then years past. The problem is with parents stopping on Publishers and/or Five Mile to let their kids off so they don’t have to go through the line of cars and the parking lot routine. In the past few days I have experienced two particular incidents, one of which happened this morning that was quite troublesome for me.
- Yesterday after dropping off I was taking a right turn onto Five Mile to head North only to have to hard stop because someone decided to stop and block the intersection to let their son off.
- Today after dropping off my son and leaving the parking lot headed Westbound towards Five Mile I had to really hard stop as five kids walked out from between the line of Eastbound cars stepping directly in front of me. It was dark, they all were wearing dark clothing, and the lights from the line of cars headed East made it difficult to see them. Fortunately I don’t drive too fast down Publishers in the morning (due to the traffic plus buses) and was paying attention, allowing me to stop in time. I hate to imagine what would have happened if someone wasn’t paying attention.
I know parents are going to do what they want and you can only do so much but I thought perhaps another PSA to the Titan community would be good, re-stating the dangers in not following the drop off routine. Also as second thought, with the addition of another Webster Police Resource Officer, perhaps they could park in the little lot out front, stand and monitor the flow for a few days. That spot seems to be the most common area for parents to stop at. Sometimes the presence of authority helps further a message.
Thanks for your listening! Have a good day!
