Our third graders read “Our Class Is a Family” together last week and then made friendship bracelets to remind them that they are all part of one classroom family. 💕 Each color represents something special.

A sweet reminder that we’re better together! 🌈📚

🚘DROP OFF & PICK UP INFO🚙
In order to keep our students safe and our car line moving…
🚗Breakfast drop off may begin at 7:35 a.m. Please do not drop off earlier than that for safety purposes.
🚙 Regular drop off may begin at 7:45 a.m. on the north side or south side. Please do not drop off earlier than that for safety purposes if they are not eating breakfast. Students will be allowed to enter the building at 7:45 am with the first bell to go to their classrooms and line up in the hallways by their room. At 7:50 am, the bell will ring to enter their classrooms. At 7:55 am, the bell will ring to start school and any arrival after 7:55 am is a tardy.
🚗 Please have students unbuckled, shoes on, backpack ready, coats on, etc, and ready to exit the car by the time they reach a teacher to open the car door.
🚙 Students must exit the vehicle closest to the building on the passenger’s side. They cannot exit on the driver’s side and walk around the vehicle for safety purposes.
🚗 Parents need to remain in the vehicles in the drop off line. Please park if you need to get out of the vehicle for any reason.
🚗 If you park in a parking space to let your child out of the vehicle in the morning, please walk them across the street or parking lot. Please do not just send them by themselves.
🚙 If you received a sign with your child’s name and teacher’s name, please have that displayed in your car window for pick up. Our teachers rotate for that duty and that sign will help us get your child where they need to be quickly and safely.
🚗 At 3:00 pm, dismissal will begin with Pre-k followed by kindergarten on the north side. At 3:05 pm, dismissal will take place for 1st-4th. If you pick up on the north side and have a student other than a pre-k or kindergartener, please wait to get in the car line until 3:00 pm. Our first priority is to get the pre-k and kindergarten students loaded that dismiss at 3:00 pm so we may have to ask you to drive around and get back in line in order to get those younger children into their cars before loading 1st-4th grade students.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We always want our kids to be safe!
