Eagle Express - January 10, 2025
Good afternoon Arrowwood Families,
Happy New Year! We are excited to have students back in the building and getting back into the routine of things this month. Our January Life Principle is Initiative at Arrowwood and it was introduced to students earlier this week. We have challenged our students to set personal goals that they can work towards for the rest of the school year. Be sure to discuss what new goals your student might be setting out to achieve as they soar to new heights at Arrowwood.
Monday, January 13th is Record's Day for the entire district and there is no school for students on that day. In addition, next Monday, January 20th will be professional development and there will be no school for students on that day as well.
Have a great week, Eagles!

Concerns with Parking Lot and Arrowwood Procedures
We have had several very close calls recently where students have almost been injured and need your cooperation. Please review our procedures with anyone who drops off your student. In particular, students are being released before there is supervision, dropped off in the middle of the parking lot exit or at the crosswalk in the parking preventing traffic to continue to exit. Your student's safety is our priority.
Morning Arrival - Parent Drop Off:
Students may exit vehicles and line up to enter the building beginning at 7:25 AM when a staff member is outside and present.
Please say your good byes at the median before your students cross independently or at home so they can quickly exit their vehicle on the passenger side. Parents and families should not line up with kids to help with congestion.
The doors will be opened for all students beginning at 7:30 AM.
All parent drop off students will enter the building at the Main Office Entrance and using the East Parking Lot.
Are you turning Left or Right on Seidel?
Please make a decision based on if your car will be turning left or right on to Seidel Road whether you park or go through the drop off line.
There will be cones and chain to keep the lines separate and help keep a constant flow of traffic. You will not be allowed to change lanes as it stops the flow of both lanes. If everyone follows protocols, we are able to arrive and dismiss in less than 10 minutes.
Again you are not to turn left from the right drop off lane and cross traffic. When this occurs it stops traffic causing significant delays and is a safety concern.
Turning Left on Seidel? Park Your Vehicle in Lot for Arrival and Dismissal
Families will park their vehicles and walk to the crosswalk closest to the main entrance where a staff member will be directing traffic. Please use only the crosswalk with staff crossing guard. Parents and families do not need to cross with students unless they are conducting school business.
For the safety of our students, PLEASE DO NOT DROP CHILDREN OFF AT THE MEDIAN AT THE PARKING LOT EXIT.
Pick Up: As the students come out of the building all PARKERS will be crossed at the center crosswalk to families waiting in the median. Parents will be able to take their children from there and return to their vehicles.
When your vehicle is leaving, you will turn LEFT onto Seidel Road from the parking lot.
Turning Right on Seidel? Use the Drop Off Line for Arrival and Dismissal
Follow the perimeter of the parking lot to be in the drop off line. Once your vehicle has reached anywhere on the main sidewalk from the Conference Center to the Main Entrance, your child may exit the car.
Do not wait to drop off or pick up your child at the main entrance as this slows down traffic. Once they are at the sidewalk and you are pulled up as far as you can, please have them exit on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Please say goodbyes at home and be ready to have your child exit the vehicle immediately as this line moves quickly. Drivers are not allowed to exit the vehicle and will be asked to park.
When your vehicle is leaving, you will turn RIGHT onto Seidel Road from the parking lot.
IF YOU ARE USING THE DROP OFF LANE, YOU MUST TURN RIGHT
