Morning Drop Off
For the safety of our students and the flow of traffic in our car rider line it is important that everyone follows our procedures and safety guidelines that were provided to you in our virtual orientation.
As a reminder, campus opens at 7:30. The car rider line will begin moving at that time.
*Do not drop off students in the front of school, the parking lot, or the streets near or on Primeaux Road.
*Vehicles must enter the car rider line from Caldwell St. Vehicles can not enter nor block/hinder traffic flow on Kibbie.
*Vehicles entering the semi-circle must pull up to the exit gate. This will ensure that we fill the semi-circle to unload as many vehicles as possible. Stopping under the awning is not permitted.
*All students must unload on the passenger side of the vehicle.
*Car rider drop off ends at 7:55. If you are dropping your child off after 7:55, you will be required to drive to the front of school, park in the parking lot, and walk to the front entrance to sign your child in.
*As a reminder, the circle drive in front of school is for VPSB vehicles and personnel ONLY. When visiting campus for any reason, the front parking lot must be utilized whether the front gate is opened or closed. This is for the safety of our students. Your cooperation in following these procedures and safety guidelines are greatly appreciated.
PBIS Snack Cart
Each month our PBIS team would like to reward our students for their hard work each day by providing a Snack Cart. This Snack Cart will be brought to each classroom so that our students may spend their Bobcat Bucks to “pay” for a treat from the cart. The PBIS team is asking for donations of snack items from the list below to be able to allow students to purchase with the Bobcat bucks. Donations may be sent with students, labeled "SNACK CART". All large donations that students are unable to carry should be brought to the front office.
Suggested Items:
Small Pringles Cans; Chips; Little Debbie Snacks; Snack size Candy bars; Snack Cakes; Pre Wrapped Cookies; Takis/ Hot Fries; Cheese Crackers; Animal Crackers; Fruit Snacks; Fruit Roll-ups; Flamin’ Hot Cheetos; Fudge Rounds; Star Crunch; Zebra Cakes; Dunk-a-Roos; Oreo Snack Packs; Famous Amos Cookies; Popcorn Bags; Mini Muffins Packs; Fruit By The Foot

Reminders
1. MORNING DROP OFF
Students are not allowed on campus prior to 7:30am. Walkers should NOT enter the campus until after the 7:30 bell rings. All students MUST be dropped off in the car rider line, in the back of school, in the morning. Students should not be dropped off in the teacher parking lot, or the side streets near the front of the school. Please display your car rider sign in your front windshield when you enter the car rider line. We ask that you leave the sign in your windshield until your child is in that car. This will help the teachers who are loading students identify the correct vehicles to guide students to their vehicles.
2. AFTERNOON DISMISSAL
Our campus dismisses at 3:10. All car riders must be picked up by 3:30pm. Please ensure you enter the car rider line no later than 3:25pm.
3. UNIFORMS
Students in 1st- 5th grade must wear uniform bottoms (pants and shorts) with belt loops. Belts must be worn in 1st - 5th grade and shirts must be tucked in at all times. Students in Prek and K may wear elastic waist bottoms.
