Weekly Wrangler

I hope everyone has continued to have a great start to the new school year! As we finish our second week, it’s been wonderful to see the joy and enthusiasm in our students’ faces as they settle into their routines. Our teachers and staff are committed to providing an enriching and supportive environment, and we are so grateful for your continued partnership in this journey.

I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone about some important safety guidelines during drop-off and pick-up times. Your cooperation is essential in keeping our students safe:

1. Pull All the Way Up: Please be sure to pull your vehicle all the way to the end of the designated drop-off or pick-up point. This helps keep the line moving efficiently and safely.

2. Turn the Correct Way: When exiting our driveways, it’s crucial to follow the designated traffic patterns. Turning the correct way helps reduce congestion and ensures a smoother flow of traffic for everyone. Signs mark the direction of traffic flow.

3. Use the Crosswalks: Always use the crosswalks when walking with your children. This is the safest way to cross the street and sets a great example for our students.

4. No Parking in Fire Lanes: Please do not park in fire lanes. These areas need to remain clear to ensure the safety and accessibility of our campus.

Following these guidelines not only helps us maintain a safe and orderly environment but also models responsible behavior for our students. Let’s work together to make drop-off and pick-up as smooth as possible!

Looking to this week, there is NO SCHOOL on Monday. Our 5th grade student council elections will be on Friday. Good luck to all of our candidates. Be sure to mark your calendars for some upcoming important dates listed below!

Happy Trails,

Ms. Triplett

~Lost & Found Items~

Our Lost & Found is consistently overflowing. One of our shared goals is to raise responsible and independent children. Empowering our kids to take responsibility for their belongings is a crucial step in their growth and development. It helps children develop organization, time management, problem solving abilities and a basic respect for things which will serve them well throughout their lives.

A good practice is asking your kids at pick-up whether they have all of their belongings before departing. If they are missing items, have them go back and locate them.

Let's work together to help us reunite lost items with their owners and teach our children the value of responsibility from a young age!

~Lost & Found Policy~

The Lost and Found is located near the MPR by the student restrooms.

Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of each month!

All volunteers and visitors MUST check-in at the front office with your ID each time you are on campus.You will not be permitted on campus without your ID.

If you will be volunteering regularly on campus, you will need to fill out the volunteer paperwork. It was sent home the first week of school and needs to be submitted at least one week prior to the start of volunteering. All volunteers must have a scheduled volunteer time with their student's teacher. Thank you for your support in keeping our school safe!

Please make sure you sign-in if you are on campus for our pep rallies! Anytime you are on campus after the bell rings, you must sign-in!
