SPECIAL MESSAGE TO K - 3RD GRADE PARENTS
As we enter our second quarter, we are happy to see the kids are adjusting well to their surroundings, teachers, and friends. With that being said, we have noticed a lot of parents still walking their kiddos to class in the morning and throughout the day if they arrive late. It's difficult for us to say "no," as we are parents too; but we must ask that you do not do this. We know it's hard to say goodbye, but please do so at the door (or lobby if arriving late). This encourages independence for each student, as well as limits disruptions to the class(es). If your younger student is hesitant to walk to their class alone, our safety patrol or office staff will be glad to walk them down. Thank you for understanding and for helping us to keep our school days running efficiently for our students!
From Handbook:
In order to provide a safe and distraction free environment no parent may go directly to a classroom during school hours.
