Popsicles with the Principals
Join us on Wednesday, September 27th from 4:30-5:30 pm outside on the playground. Students can play as adults have an opportunity to connect with each other and school administration. We look forward to seeing you there!
A message from the principal
We are off to a great start! Our students are getting into the routines of the new school year and learning is already in full swing. Thank you for helping prepare your students for school each day. Our adjustment to having walkers is going extremely well. Thank you, families, for following the procedures we have set in the back of the building. We appreciate your support in prioritizing student safety.
Please be mindful of the following when utilizing vehicle drop-off and pick-up:
- Vehicle drop-offs and pick-ups are only allowed in the front of the building.
- Follow the directions of the district safety personnel.
- Stay in the lane closest to the sidewalk for all drop-offs and pick-ups.
- Pull as far forward as possible, especially when in the front of school.
- Stay in your vehicle. School staff will help your child exit the vehicle, if needed.
- If possible, please have your child exit on the sidewalk side of the vehicle. This will avoid having your child exit on the side of passing vehicles.
- Be patient. Please know staff are doing the best we can to get students in and out of the vehicles quickly and safely.
- Reserve handicapped spaces for students who need hand-to-hand transfers and/or otherwise have permission to access these spaces.
In regards to the utilization of district transportation, please review bus expectations with your child, and remind them that accessing district transportation is a privilege. Our drivers must be able to remain focused on the road, and students must conduct themselves in a way that allows them to do so.
Thank you for all of your support in a successful start to the school year!
