Weekly Update

Our upcoming conferences Monday, February 16th, will be student-led, which means your child will guide you through their learning, goals, strengths, and areas for growth. Students have been preparing and practicing their presentations, and this is a great opportunity for them to take ownership of their progress.

Your child's advisory teacher emailed out their sign up as the student led conference will be with just their advisory.

Please make sure your child attends with you. Their voice is the most important part of the conference!

If you would also like to connect with other teachers, you are welcome to stop in and visit with them if they are available during that time.

We look forward to seeing you and celebrating the hard work our students have been putting in!

To help keep everyone safe and our traffic flowing smoothly, please follow these procedures each day:

Morning Drop-Off

• Please drop students off at the sidewalk/unloading zone on the south side of the school
• Enter through the south parking lot to access the unloading area
• There is plenty of space for multiple cars to unload — please pull forward and keep traffic moving

🚫 No vehicles are allowed in the bus loading zone while buses are unloading

After buses finish unloading (around 7:45 AM), families may pull through the bus zone and unload in the main lot. If you do, please pull all the way forward and stay in line.

Afternoon Pick-Up

• The first 7 cars may park directly in the loading zone
• Additional cars will form Lane 1, then Lane 2, then Lane 3, and so on
• As the loading zone clears, we will move each lane forward one at a time

Staff members will be outside directing traffic:
• One at the entrance to guide cars into lanes
• One at the front to signal when the next lane should move forward

🚫 For safety, please do not pull around or pass other cars that are waiting in line.
Even when it feels faster, it creates safety concerns for students and staff. Staying in your lane helps everything move more smoothly for everyone.

🚫 Please do not park and pick up students in the main school parking lot.
All students must be picked up in the designated loading zone.

We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and teamwork. A smooth, steady line keeps kids safe and actually gets everyone home faster. Thanks for helping us keep dismissal running like a well-oiled Tiger machine! 🐯

8th Grade Parents,

Our annual Job Shadow Day will take place on April 17. Over the next few weeks, I will be meeting with 8th grade students to explain what the day will look like and to gather their preferences for careers they are interested in exploring.

We encourage you to start conversations at home with your 8th grader about possible careers they may want to shadow. Having these discussions ahead of time will help students feel more confident and prepared as we begin planning.

If you are interested in hosting a student at your workplace, we would love to hear from you! Please use the form below to provide more information:
