Pick up and Drop Off
Pick up and Drop Off
Parents - please help us all get to school safely by planning a little extra time on these snowy and icy days. The safest place to drop off is in the alley at our parent drop off zone. You can safely drop off your students and then they walk over to the blacktop and wait with their friends or they go to eat in the cafeteria. Dropping off on 16th Street is becoming difficult due to the snow berms. If you drop off on 16th Street, please try to use the right hand side so students do not have to cross through traffic. You can also drop off on Calkins and students can walk up the plowed walkway to the blacktop. Thanks for helping us keep everyone safe!
Running Late?
If your student is going to be late, please call the office (208-525-7636) and let them know your student's lunch choice before 9:15. Then our cafeteria workers can prepare the right amount of food.
Winter Weather
Children should arrive at school dressed for the weather of the day so they are comfortable and can safely enjoy recess. In winter months, children should remember to dress appropriately. Unless parents have contacted the teacher by phone or note about a child staying in, children will be expected to go out for recess. If a student needs to stay in for recess, they will be reading a book or doing a quiet activity in the office area so their teacher can have their lunch break. If your child cannot participate in recess for health reasons, please send a note to this effect. If it is a prolonged stay (longer than 3 days) please send a note from the doctor.
In the event of adverse weather (temperatures less than 0 ยบ, high wind, severe rain, etc.) students will remain inside for recess.
