S.O.A.R Weekly

In order to keep our staff and our Freedom Park community safe and healthy, we highly encourage everyone to participate in the synchronous Open House. During this Open House you will have the ability to see the classroom and ask questions regarding the upcoming school year. The meeting will also be recorded for those who cannot attend.

Please take a look at our Canvas tutorials. These tutorials are for all learners (virtual and F2F). All classes will be using this tool during the school day. Of course, online learners will use it more, but all learners need to have experience with the tool.

Arrival Time:

Please do not drop students off before 6:50 am.

Arrival - Car line

Please pull as far up to the end as possible. This helps to alleviate congestion and keeps cars off the street.

Arrival - Parking and Walk Ups

If you are not going to use the car line, you must park in a designated parking spot and walk your students to the front door. Please do not stop behind other cars and let your children run across the street. Please do not enter the bus lane.

The front door is locked at 2:15 pm each day throughout the school year. We will not open the door until after dismissal has begun and students are safely in their designated area for dismissal. We also will not call students for dismissal after this time. We do this for several reasons:

Student Movement

All students are moving around the building to their dismissal locations at this time. We do not want people standing in the hallways, walking the hallways, or grabbing students out of line. This is an unsafe practice.

Classroom Interruptions

Constantly calling rooms for dismissal so that individuals can “beat the lines” interrupts the last minutes of instruction and confuses our students. It is also hard for students to hear all calls due to the movement in the building.

Poor Attendance

Checking students out early results in a tardy even if it is a few minutes before dismissal. Three tardies result in an absents. Please help us to keep a great attendance record.

The following are tips to make your dismissal experience pleasant.

Dismissal by Surname

• If your last name begins with A-L please arrive at 2:25 for the car line or walk-ups and wait patiently in your car or at the entry to the gym. Students will be released promptly at 4 pm. All students from A-L should be gone before 4:08 and the parking lot will be clearer and have available parking for the next group.
  
• If your last name begins with M-Z please arrive at 2:35. The lines will be much shorter and you will have less time to wait in your car or outside.

Again, if you are not using the car line, you must park in a designated parking spot. Do not create one. Do not park in any area with a yellow curb these are the bus loading zones. You must walk to the gym. Do not leave other children or pets in your vehicle.
