Week of Sept 9

VISION: To create a safe and inclusive community so ALL of our students reach their full potential.

MISSION: To provide HIGH-quality instruction promoting the growth of the whole child.

COMMITMENTS: We are SAFE. We are KIND. We are HELPFUL.

Good Afternoon Families!! The first week of school is usually a bit of a learning process with Car Line and Parent Pick Up. Please be patient both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Please remember to...

• Watch out for staff members directing you to help you learn the lines and the process.
• Always pull to the front of the line if you are the first car when the line moves up.
• Drive slowly and always have cell phones put away for the safety of everyone.
• Do not pass other cars in the car line.

Please see the information above. In addition,

• For Darley we only have one car line and it wraps around the center parking spots.
• Please drive very slowly as you enter the parking lot and stop at the stop sign.
• When you reach the sidewalk unloading zone (where the orange cones are) please get out and wait with your child for a staff member to pick up and walk with them into the building.
• Please stay by your car at all times.

For AM and PM Drop Off we only use the lane closest to the sidewalk.

• When you reach the sidewalk unloading zone, please get out and wait with your child for a staff member to pick up and walk with them into the building.
• Please stay by your car at all times.
• Please wait patiently in line for the line to move - do not pass other cars.

For AM dismissal, we use the lane closest to the sidewalk and the lane on the side of the median.

• Please have your Car Tag Number visible on the windshield.
• This helps us quickly enter the number in a spreadsheet for our staff and we can quickly organize students to bring them directly to your car.
• Please stay with your car at all times.

• PM dismissal is also mixed with Hanby so there are a lot of cars. Please follow the directions of the staff person in the parking lot to let them know you're a Bush family and they will wave you into the correct line as the line moves forward.

Parent Pick Up is done from the lobby.

• Please park along the street and walk down the ramp.
• You will need an ID for the first visit.
• We will give you a Pick Up card that you can them bring with you moving forward

Once the school year begins, you will receive weekly or bi weekly updates from the admin with announcements and celebrations. The phone call is a short recap and the accompanying email has more detail. If you do not receive both, please let us know so we can update your contact information

In the meantime, please take some time to check out our social media platforms so you can stay as informed as possible in whatever means works for you. Your child’s teacher will communicate classroom level information with you through Class Dojo or email.
