Happy New Year and welcome back! I want to begin by thanking our students, families, and staff for their partnership and flexibility during the first semester. It has truly been a team effort, and I look forward to working with you throughout the remainder of the school year.

Third Quarter Learning Options
Please note that changes to Third Quarter Learning Options are due by Friday, January 8. If you would like to change your student’s Third Quarter Learning Option, please email me as soon as possible. The sooner the school office knows, the sooner we can schedule your child into their new classroom and assign their teacher. If you are not making a change, you do not need to contact the school.
The third quarter begins on Monday, January 25. All changes must be received by Friday, January 8.
Please see our learning option summary below and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
A Few Reminders About Arrival and Dismissal
Our main concern is student safety at arrival and dismissal. We want to get your children to you as quickly and as safely as possible.
- Please try to pull as far forward as you can in the O'Brien Drive drop off lane. This helps to prevent other cars from backing up into the street.
- We ask that parents do not exit the car when dropping your student off unless you park in the parking lot.
- Students should exit the car on the passenger side (curb side) of the car. It is helpful if they have all items with them and ready to go before arriving in the parking lot.
Dismissal
- Cars should not park on O'Brien Drive and have the child(ren) walk to the car. For the safety of everyone we are only allowed to dismiss the students in the parking lot and not to cars on the street. The police often monitor the street and can give citations. We truly appreciate your help with this.
Thanks in advance for following procedures and helping to make arrival/dismissal run smoothly. Please let me now if you have any questions.
Thank You!
Thank you for your support and patience during these unprecedented times. We are working diligently to provide every student with a safe, engaging and effective education. If you have ANY questions or concerns, please contact me.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Sandy Hutchinson
