I would like to thank all teachers, staff, parent/guardians and students for all the work that has been put into making the start of this school year so fantastic.

PTO Meeting

A PTO meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00 pm in the elementary media center.

Safety Tips for Car Rider Line

Arrival

Have your child ready to unload. All backpacks, instructions, hugs, and kisses should be taken care of BEFORE you arrive at the drop-off area. This is a huge help in keeping our car rider line moving.
Students who arrive by car are to remain in the car until dismissed by school staff.
Students must exit the car on the passenger side of the vehicle for safety reasons.
All adults should remain in the car at all times.
Only pass other cars if directed to do so by school staff.

Dismissal

Please pull forward when school staff instructs so we can load 5-8 cars simultaneously.
Students must remain behind the line on the sidewalk until their vehicle comes to a complete stop and school staff permits them.
For safety reasons, students must load the car from the passenger side. Once you have moved through the pick-up line, you can pull around and park in the parking lot to check car seats.
Adults must remain in the car at all times.
Only pass cars if instructed to do so.
