England School News

Hello Leopard Families-

We hope that you enjoyed the long weekend with your family!

PTA:

Our staff enjoyed the cookies provided by our England community! Thank you to our dedicated PTA for organizing a successful Cookie Bar and to all the families who donated cookies.

Field Day:

Huge thank you to our P.E. Teachers for a fantastic Field Day! We also appreciate the volunteers that came out to ensure a fun and safe day for our Leopards.

Early Pick-Up Reminders:

We kindly request that when planning to pick up your child early, please plan to do so by 2:00 pm.

Reminders for Front Arrival Procedures:

Thank you to our England Community for collaborating with us to refine our arrival processes to create a safe and efficient environment for our Leopards. We appreciate your partnership and support!

• The doors to the school open at 7:15 AM. Please do not drop off your child before 7:10 AM, as this presents a safety concern for your child.
• After you drop your child off, please exit the drop-off lane.
• As soon as you enter the parking lot, please have your child get ready to exit the car with their school materials in hand.
• When you reach the drop-off lane, please slowly pull all the way to the end.
• If you are utilizing our drop-off lane the only people that should be exiting the vehicle at any time are Elsa England students.
• Staff members are present to monitor student safety. Please work with your child to open their door independently as we do not have enough staff available to accommodate opening each car door.
• Kindergarten through 5th grade students are expected to exit the car independently. If your child needs help exiting the car please ask your teacher for a needs assistance sign. Pre-Kindergarten will all have access to a needs assistance sign. Please utilize the assistance needed zone at the very end of the car rider drop-off lane if help is needed. (Assistance Needed Zone will only be available at the front of the school.)
• Do not exit your vehicle while in the drop-off lane.
• In front of the school is a red fire lane, and it is illegal to park here. It also creates a safety hazard for the families who are trying to follow the law and safely exit our parking lot.
• If walking to the school, utilize the sidewalks on both sides of the school. Do not walk across the parking lot and driving lanes, as this area is heavy with traffic and is not safe for pedestrians.

Solar Eclipse:

We are looking forward to this wonderful event for our campus!

All students must have a signed permission slip to be able to join their friends and teachers outside for the big event. We request that all students have a form completed (there is an option to decline to participate). Please plan to complete this form by April 5th.

England Eclipse Viewing Permission Form

All students and staff who will be watching the eclipse will receive viewing glasses the day of the event. We’ll have additional staff on hand to ensure our students remain safe while they’re outside. We’ll also block off our parking lot after arrival in the morning to ensure that community members are not using our space during the event. We plan to view this event from our track from 1:20-2:00.

Teachers and staff will have discussed with their students the expectations for the day, including behavior and safety guidance while the eclipse is happening. Please reinforce with your children the importance of following these guidelines. We want to be sure we have a fun and exciting day and that students remember to participate safely.

We look forward to a week of learning and fun with our Leopards!

In partnership,

Krystall Williams
