Traffic Safety Alert
Our collective focus, with CPD this week, will be the following:
1. The student drop off zone is only in front of the school in the white painted curb area. Please stay in your car and help keep the traffic moving. We will begin Curb Side Host training this week, for 5th graders interested in this leadership opportunity. Curb Side Hosts will help students get out of the car in the white zones and encourage fluid traffic movement.
2. Please do not drop off students in the RED zone in front of the 6th street gate.
3. Please be kind and be a role model for students, parents and others around you. Aggressive tone, language or behaviors will not be tolerated.
4. Starting tomorrow, Monday Sept. 27th, 3rd graders will be released from the large gate facing 6th Ave, at the end of the day. 3rd grade teachers will walk students down to the gate and then students may leave. Please set a place where you will meet your child, preferably away from the gates to help avoid congregating and congestion.
Curbside Hosts Training begins this week!
How does it work?
As parents drive up to the white curbs on H and 6th Ave, students will help open the door to your car, greet your family, and help our newly arriving students to get out of the car and close the door, to keep our traffic moving.
When does it start? Training for our students begins this week, September 27th. Thank you for your patience as Ms. Rachel Lozano trains our students for full implementation next week.
When is training this week?
For students who have already signed up to be a Curbside Host with Ms. Lozano,
7:45-8:05 AM Monday: Room 501
7:45-8:05 AM Tuesday: Room 502
7:45-8:05 AM Wednesday: Room 503
7:45-8:05 AM Thursday: Room 504
7:45-8:05 AM Friday: Room 505
What if I haven't signed up, but am interested?
If your student is a 5th grader, and interested in becoming a Curbside Host, please have them fill out an application in their classroom and we will get them scheduled soon!

Superhero Tickets
Students earn superhero tickets throughout the week for being safe, respectful, responsible and kind. They can earn them from any adult on campus who sees them exhibiting superhero behaviors.
Each Monday and Friday, after school, students will be able to bring their tickets in to trade for prizes. If they would like to save up their tickets, they can!
15 tickets=1 prize!
If your student has enough tickets to trade in for a prize, they will be escorted to the office before school lets out to pick a prize!
See below for other options.
MFLC Notice of Information Re: EBT Cards
The government is sending out EBT cards for each child who participated in free meal programs last year. No notice has been given so many people are throwing them away. They are loaded with $400-$600 depending on whether they were virtual, hybrid or in person. They are being sent out alphabetically by child’s first name.
Her are links about the program.
