PIT Day (Parents-in-Touch Day)
October 11, 2023 is our Parents-in-Touch Day (Parent Teacher Conferences).
Your scholar's teacher will soon send home a piece of paper with your assigned conference time based on the time slot you selected. Please confirm that this time works for you.
Scholars will have AT-HOME Learning Packets on October 11.
Please be ON TIME for your meeting to assist us in keeping our schedules running as smoothly as possible.
**We will have our SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR set up for you to shop!**
How should you prepare for your conference?
* Your conference will only be 15 minutes. That's not a lot of time and the teacher will have a lot to share as well. If you feel like you need to discuss more, please set up a time to meet with the teacher outside of Parent Teacher Conference Day.
* Ask your child what they think the teacher will tell you about them.
* Pick 1-3 questions from THIS ARTICLE that you might want to ask.
* Don't be surprised if your child's teacher sets a timer to help keep their conferences on schedule.
* Plan to meet IN PERSON, not on the phone or through e-mail.
We MUST keep our scholars safe and we need your help doing it.
ARRIVAL PROCEDURES
Please note- bus riders should be prepared for their bus to arrive at their stop 20 minutes before or after the stated pick-up/drop-off time.
**Doors open at 7:20am. DO NOT drop off your scholar (or have them walk to school) any earlier than 7:20am as this becomes a safety issue.
What we need from you:
* please only drop off on the circle drive.
* do not drop off where your scholar needs to cross the street. This is an unsafe practice.
* in the drop off line, please stay in line. Do not cut line to drop off your scholar.
* Do not drop off outside of the line. Scholars crossing the parking lot is very unsafe.
* please encourage your scholar to exit the car quickly so we may keep the line moving.
* please keep your speed at a safe level- speeding on the circle puts our scholars in danger.
* please pull up as far as possible. We have staff standing on the circle drive to direct traffic. When they motion to you to pull up, please pull up as far as possible.
THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO KEEP ALL SCHOLARS SAFE.
