Letter from Mr. Parker about Schedule Verification Day
Dear Parents:
We are looking forward to seeing you at our Schedule Verification Day on Thursday, August 3rd. We had to change our alphabet timing since my last email – I apologize for any confusion.
Last name (student) M-Z 8:30-10:15 and last name A-L 10:30-12:15
These divisions are different from what was communicated earlier this summer as we made changes to better accommodate our groups. We are going to shut everything down by 12:30 to allow our staff members to have lunch before their afternoon meetings. I appreciate your support of our teachers.
Parking and traffic at Taylor Road is always a challenge, and Thursday will be especially challenging with all of the cars. Please consider carpooling or walking, if possible. In the past we have been able to use the Chattahoochee HS parking lots for overflow parking. Their parking lots will not be available to us since their Schedule Verification is happening at the same time as ours. We will have staff in the parking lot to assist with parking, but we only have about 225 parking spots. Please follow the directions of our staff members as they will be doing their best to help.
We don’t want you to feel rushed, but it is very important to be as efficient as possible on Thursday. If you can make your payments ahead of time in the Online School Payments program, you will save some time. Go ahead and join the PTA ahead of time! All of the links you will need are in the QR code below. You can click on the image for a direct link. You can even find your bus information by using the link in the document or by clicking here.
Thanks for continuing to support Taylor Road!
