Morning Drop Off
A few reminders about morning carpool to make sure your child is in the building on time:
Front and back drop off is open each morning, with the back opening once buses are gone.
A good rule of thumb is to be in the line by 7:40 so your child is in the building on time.
As soon as your car is along the curb, your child needs to exit. Do not wait until you get close to the door.
If your child needs help opening the door, turn on your hazard lights so a staff member knows you need help. At this point in the year, they should be getting more independent in opening their car door.
Afternoon Pick Up
Once your child is in the car, please take down your number so we know you are good to go!
Art Help
Mrs. Olsen could use some extra hands during kinder art. If you'd like to help out, sign up here. You must have a completed background check prior to volunteering.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices
In accordance with the Student Handbook, all personal electronic devices must be turned off during the instructional day. This includes cell phones and smart watches. The policy can be found in the Student Handbook starting on page 54.

Lunch Visitors
Tuesday, September 10, is our first day for lunch visitors. A few things to remember:
- Check-in at the front office and obtain a visitor sticker. Wear the sticker during. your visit.
- Please sit at the designated visitor tables with your child. The courtyard tables can also be used.
- Students are not allowed to invite friends to sit at the visitor table.
- Parents may bring lunch for their child only. The sharing of food with other students is prohibited.
- Taking pictures or video of other students is prohibited.
- When students begin to clean up, it's time for your student to return to their table and for parents to be on their way. Please return directly to the office to turn in your badge before leaving. Parents should not walk their child back to class.
