Schoolwide Safety Information regarding Car Riders (both am and pm):
It is very important that all students are dropped off in the front car line during morning hours; if you would like to walk your child into school, please park in a parking space in the front lot and walk them across the traffic lanes. Students may not be dropped off at any other point on school property, this is for the safety of our students.
Afternoon Car Riders must be picked up in the car line. It is necessary for our buses to be dismissed first so that they can be on time for all of their runs (high and middle school routes follow elementary). If your child is a car rider, be prepared to wait in the car line until all buses have left; please also allow space for them to pass on the exit drive. Teachers are not allowed to release students from the car line until they are outside the building; it is very chaotic for parents to wait on the sidewalk for their children. Please follow procedures and wait in your car in the line, again this is for the safety of your children. Teachers cannot always see when a parent picks up students from the sidewalk, it is best to put each student into their car from the designated grade level spot.
First Grade Information:
Homework will begin on September 12th; there will be specific information coming home to explain procedures related to each teacher's expectations. In the meantime, please be sure to read with your child for a minimum of 10 minutes each day. You may take turns reading aloud, have your child find specific words in the text, make predictions about the story, talk about favorite parts of the story, look at the pictures first and make predictions about the events on each page.
