Preparing for Carpool Dismissal
One area that we already know will be a challenge during the first few weeks of school will be our carpool dismissal. The number of cars during carpool will most likely be our highest number ever due to our increased student enrollment.
Over time this will work itself out as everyone settles into the routine. However, we would like to remind everyone of a few things and put temporary protocols in place while we begin to settle in.
To reduce the number of cars arriving at school at the same time, we are requesting (not requiring) families stagger the time they arrive to carpool to pick up students.
o Families with the last name beginning with:
- A-G: 3:45
- H-N: 3:55
- O-S: 4:05
- T-Z: 4:10
· Here are a few other things that you could do to assist.
- Please remember, this is a request (not required). However, our hope is that staggering pick up time will alleviate traffic backing up on to Honeycutt Road.
- Please help your child memorize their carpool number
- Move car seats or other items to the driver’s side of the car to allow student to enter from the passenger side.
- If your child needs help with a seatbelt, pull forward to a parking space to assist them
- Pull up to the car in front of you. Leaving large gaps takes space and backs traffic up even further
Please feel free to exit the school utilizing the bus driveway. This will reduce the congestion at the carpool entrance.
Kindergarten!
As a reminder, Kindergarten students will only attend one day of school during the 1st week of school.
Change: An email will be sent to families on Saturday, August 31 with class assignment information.
We will host a Kindergarten Meet the teacher on Tuesday Sept 3 from 8:45-10:15am.
Parent Lunches with Students
We will open up the opportunity for parents to eat lunch with their children in early October. We appreciated the understanding for the delay. Our focus for the first month of school will be to ensure students know procedures and routines. Focusing on this at the beginning of the year strengthens our work for the months to come. Thank you!
