Laukhuf Elementary School

First Day Update: Thank you for a FABULOUS first day. I was able to visit every classroom and was so impressed with what I saw on day one. We are so excited for the year ahead.

A few updates/reminders for day two:

ALL students must be dropped off in the car rider line, on a bus, or as a walker tomorrow. No students can be walked to the front door unless we have them marked as a walker in our system. If you try to park and walk them up, you will be asked to go back to your car and get in the car rider line.

CAR RIDER LINE (Please share this info with anyone who may pick up your child):

-Please do not cut in the line. Stay behind the car in front of you and follow the traffic pattern. This will cause significant delays and will not save you any time.

-If you need to buckle a child, please pull over in the parking lot to do so. This will keep traffic moving.

-Please drive slowly when maneuvering the parking lot. We have lots of children and staff in the area.

-Please have your RED car rider tag hanging in your car and visible to staff. This will keep the line moving. If you do not have a red tag, you will be required to show an ID. No exceptions.

-Our staff volunteer their time to stay and help with loading our car riders each day. Please be kind to them. Verbal harassment will not be tolerated.

BUS TIMES:

-Please arrive to your stop 10-15 minutes early and WAIT in both the morning and afternoon. Buses are often late during these first 2 weeks of school until everyone is more familiar with the route. Please remind your child to watch/listen for their bus stop.

-If you have multiple children who ride the bus, please remind them to look out for each other. If they notice a sibling is not on the bus or did not get off the bus, have them tell a staff member or the bus driver as soon as possible.

Overall, it was a very successful first day. Thanks again for your support.

Actualización del primer día: ¡Gracias por un primer día FABULOSO! Pude visitar todas las aulas y quedé muy impresionada con lo que vi. Estamos muy emocionados por el año que viene.

Algunas actualizaciones/recordatorios para el segundo día:

Mañana, todos los estudiantes deben ser dejados en la fila de recogida en auto, en autobús o caminando. Ningún estudiante podrá ser acompañado hasta la puerta principal a menos que esté registrado como caminante en nuestro sistema. Si intenta estacionar y acompañarlos caminando, se le pedirá que regrese a su auto y se ponga en la fila de recogida en auto.

FILA DE RECOGIDA EN AUTO (Por favor, comparta esta información con cualquier persona que pueda recoger a su hijo/a):

-Por favor, no se cuele en la fila. Manténgase detrás del auto que tiene delante y siga el flujo del tráfico. Esto causará retrasos importantes y no le ahorrará tiempo.

-Si necesita abrocharle el cinturón a un niño/a, por favor, oríllese en el estacionamiento para hacerlo. Esto ayudará a que el tráfico fluya.

-Por favor, conduzca despacio al maniobrar en el estacionamiento. Hay muchos niños y personal en la zona. -Por favor, tenga su etiqueta roja de pasajero en auto colgada en su vehículo y a la vista del personal. Esto ayudará a que la fila avance. Si no tiene una etiqueta roja, deberá mostrar una identificación. Sin excepciones.

-Nuestro personal se ofrece como voluntario para ayudar a los pasajeros que viajan en auto cada día. Por favor, sean amables con ellos. No se tolerará el acoso verbal.

HORARIOS DE AUTOBÚS:

-Por favor, llegue a su parada de 10 a 15 minutos antes y ESPERE tanto por la mañana como por la tarde. Los autobuses suelen retrasarse durante estas dos primeras semanas de clases hasta que todos se familiaricen con la ruta. Por favor, recuérdele a su hijo que esté atento a su parada.

-Si tiene varios hijos que viajan en autobús, por favor, recuérdeles que se cuiden entre sí. Si notan que un hermano no está en el autobús o no se ha bajado, pídales que avisen a un miembro del personal o al conductor.

En general, fue un primer día muy exitoso. Gracias nuevamente por su apoyo.

We are the only staff available at this time, so please be patient as we work to catch up on voicemails and emails. Teachers and most school staff do not return to work until the first week of August.

Letters with teacher information, supply lists, and dress code will be sent via mail later this week to the home address we have on file. Orientation and meet and greet information is included in the letter as well.

Our office phone will be answered from 9:30-3:30 each day through the end of this month. We will update this page and provide more information about back to school events as the dates get closer.

Have a great day!

Familias Laukhuf,

Esperamos que todos estén disfrutando de sus vacaciones de verano hasta ahora. La Sra. Temple (nuestra secretaria) y yo volvimos a la oficina hoy y estamos ocupados preparándonos para el próximo año escolar 26-27. Somos el único personal disponible en este momento, así que tenga paciencia mientras trabajamos para ponernos al día con los mensajes de voz y los correos electrónicos. Los profesores y la mayoría del personal no regresan al trabajo hasta la primera semana de agosto.

Las cartas con información del profesor, listas de suministros y código de vestimenta se enviarán por correo a finales de esta semana. La información de orientación y encuentro y saludo también se incluye en la carta.

El teléfono de nuestra oficina será contestado de 9:30 a 3:30 todos los días hasta finales de este mes.

Actualizaremos esta página y proporcionaremos más información sobre los eventos de regreso a la escuela a medida que se acerquen las fechas.

¡Que tengas un gran día!

Sra. Sells, directora
