Northwest News: March 2024

For the safety of our students, their siblings, and all Northwest families, please adhere to the traffic flow procedures as outlined below.

🟦 Enter at the first entrance closest to the building.

🟩 Drop-off area. This is a drop & go area, please do not park here; utilize this area to drop students off beginning at 8:50. Parents dropping their student off for breakfast should wait with their students until the doors open at 8:15.

⬜ Parking. Please utilize the parking lot to park and walk students to & from their designated doors. We understand it might be a longer walk but it is much safer than students entering and exiting vehicles on the main road. Refrain from parking on the street in front of the building; this is a No Parking Zone for Lebanon City.

🟥 Exit out of the entrance at the far end of the parking lot. This will help create a fluid traffic pattern.

Also, as a reminder please remind students to not share their food (i.e., takis, cookies, drinks) with other students to ensure the safety/health of all students. Thank you!

Have you ever wondered how far reading can take you? Well, hop in your reading racer for the trip of a lifetime. For Read Across America, we will be tracking your reading minutes. Every minute you read will translate to 1 mile on the road. If you read 100 minutes, you will have traveled 100 miles. It’s about 3,075 miles across America, so the first primary and intermediate class to reach the final destination of 3,075 miles will participate in a special celebration.
