LOCKDOWN DRILL - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13
We will have a Lockdown Drill on Monday, September 13, 2021. PK and Kinder students will not participate in the first lockdown drill. For your reference, a lockdown is initiated when there is an immediate hostile threat to school staff and students. The threat may be inside the school or on the school grounds. The education process stops.
The students will be told that this is only a practice and will move briefly to their lockdown positions during the instructional day. Please contact Mrs. Johnson if you have any questions about the lockdown drill procedures. We cannot disclose specific information about the drill, but will answer questions to the best of our ability.
THE PANTHER CUB FUN RUN SPONSORED BY BOOSTERTHON IS ALMOST HERE!

STUDENT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
DROP-OFF
Please use the car rider lane to drop off students. Do not park/idle and let students out to walk through the parking lot unaccompanied. Your child should be directly supervised by a staff member. This is for your child's safety! We will continue to remind you as necessary.PICK-UP
Please pay careful attention to the staff members in the pick-up lanes and follow the instructions they give. We will be moving cars up further in the car rider lane starting on Monday, 09/13, to try to accommodate more people in the line. Hopefully, this will alleviate some of the back-up that occurs as cars line Panther Pride Drive.
Remember, we will no longer dismiss students at the front of the school between 3:15 - 4:15. We simply do not have enough staff to monitor multiple dismissal locations. Parents who are picking students up should remain in their cars in the car rider lane. We apologize for the inconvenience, but if we all work together, everyone benefits and every child is safe!
Thank you for your cooperation and flexibility as we continue to re-work our dismissal process for maximum efficiency.
Picture Day is Friday, September 17!
