WELCOME BACK TO JEFFERSON
SEPTEMBER 2016
Back To School Reminders
First Day of School: Thursday, Sept. 8.
Important Times:
7:50 - The breakfast bell rings. Breakfast is served from 7:50 - 8:10.
8:05 - The bell to line students up outside rings.
8:15 - Students need to be in their seats and ready to go by 8:15. That's when the official tardy bell rings.
Drop-Off / Pick-Up / Parking Procedures:
A.M. Drop-Off: Parents who drive their children to school should drop them off between 7:50 - 8:05 using the loop at the south end of the Jefferson campus. Use Fairfield Avenue to access the Pick-Up / Drop-Off loop. Please DO NOT drop students off at the main entrance before 8:05.
*Exception - On the first day of school, kindergarten parents may park in the main parking lot for their children's official First Day.
P.M. Pick-Up: Between 2:45 - 3:00 parents should use the loop accessible from Fairfield Avenue to pick up their children. Please DO NOT use the front parking lot / main entrance at this time. Reducing traffic in our main parking lot immediately after dismissal creates a safer situation for our students riding buses and walking home.
After 3:00 (or once the line of cars is through the pick-up loop shortly after 3:00) students who have yet to be picked up will be walked to the office to wait for their rides. Parents then need to park in the main lot and come to the office to get their children.
Other Important Reminders:
Attendance: Please call the school office at 388-5480 or the Health Line at 388-2854 if your child is sick or is going to miss school.
Medication: If your child needs to take, or keep, medication at school, please visit our Health Assistant, Mrs. Nessler. We are not allowed to give medication at school without the appropriate documentation from a physician.
Visiting the School: Any adult entering the building needs to visit the office and follow school sign-in procedures. State Statute 609.605 subd.IV
