Welcome Back Message from Principal Peck

First Days of School
On Thursday and Friday of the first week of school, you will be allowed to walk your child to their classroom.  Please make sure you designate a meeting spot after school as the gates will be closed until the bell rings.  Starting Monday, August 12th, all students will have to be dropped off at the gates and they will enter on their own.  At 8:35, 1st-5th graders are allowed to be on the playground. We do not have them enter the main part of campus as it is unsupervised.  At 8:45 the bell rings to head to class.  This is also when the back gate is locked by staff and kids arriving after need to head to the front of the school.  It's highly encouraged to be here before 8:45.  This allows class to start at the beginning of the day which is 8:50.

Drop Off and Pick Up
With the start of the new year, it's a great time to go over reminders for drop off and pick up.  If you are coming from the back side of school on N. Cirby, the drop off and pick up line typically starts there (depending on the time your arrive).  This line moves slowly so please be patient.  Since this is a moving line, please don't stay parked along the curb or leave your car unattended. 

When pulling into the parking lot, please use one lane only.  If cars are trying to turn left from Ridgecrest into the parking lot, please be courteous and allow them in.  When you arrive to the front of the school, please pull all the way forward.  You may drop your child off when you are in front of the sidewalk; then wait until the cars pull forward in front of you and follow them out of the parking lot.  We prefer that you are not going around cars and forming two lanes.  This makes it dangerous for drivers and pedestrians.  If everyone is following the procedure, it won't take too long to get you out of the parking lot.

one lane of cars - pull all the way forward if there is room

If you park your car on the street and walk your child to the front of the school, please use the crosswalk by the multi purpose room or the partial one by the kinder playground.  Do no cut through cars as it is very unsafe.
