Message from the Principal
Dear Caln Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! The crisp air and changing leaves are making it truly feel like fall. As we move through November, there are several important events coming up. Parent-teacher conferences will take place at the end of the month, and we encourage you to schedule a time to meet with your child’s teacher to discuss their progress and celebrate their accomplishments.
November is also a busy month filled with school fundraisers and community events. Your participation and support make a big difference for our students and school programs. If you’re able, please consider joining in or contributing in any way you can. They are listed in the PTA section.
Thanks for all you do!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Flores
Pick Up Patrol
The New Way to Share Dismissal Changes - Digitally
Starting this year, we will be using a system called PickUp Patrol to help us track dismissals. PickUp Patrol provides you with a convenient way to make changes to your child’s dismissal plans and helps ensure that students are accurately dismissed each day.
How It Works:
- Your child’s regular dismissal plan will be entered into the system. This is called their Default Plan.
- Whenever your child is doing something other than their Default Plan, you’ll submit a Plan Change via PickUp Patrol.
Examples of a Plan Change:
· Your child normally rides the bus, but is getting picked up today.
· Your child is getting picked up by someone other than yourself.
· Your child has a doctor's appointment and will be leaving early.
- When the change is submitted, our school will be notified, and we’ll relay the change to your child & their teacher.
REGISTER: On Monday, August 18th. You will receive a registration email from PickUp Patrol with a link to set up your account. The parent portal is free to parents and can be accessed from your phone or computer. The link in your registration email will be live for 48 hours. As soon as you receive it, please log in and confirm your child’s default plan.
Arrival and Dismisal
Students' instructional day begins at 9:15 am and dismissal begins at 3:45pm. During the first week of school, we expect the traffic to take longer and appreciate your patience to drive slowly and carefully in the school zone. Please remember to remain in your vehicle when dropping students off and picking students up from school. A student may not be dropped off at the front of the building before school hours and if students are being dropped off after 9:30, an adult must bring the child(ren) into the lobby to sign them in and provide the reason for being late.
