Academy Family Newsletter

We believe we are a family.

We believe the academics and arts are important.

We believe diversity makes us stronger.

We believe the goal is to keep improving.

Carline is getting better and better everyday! Thank you for your patience and willingness to help us improve our procedures to make the process as smooth as possible. If you have historically waited until 3:30 or later to pick up your child, please adjust and come earlier as we are finishing now around 3:25.

Morning Carline:

• Pull all the way forward to unload your child. Empty spaces in between cars = wasted time.
• If you have passed the blue dumpster, your student should exit the vehicle. Whether you are in the front or the back line, anyone past the dumpster should exit the car.
• Students should exit the car on the passenger side. This prevents students from having to cross in front of or behind vehicles.
• Once you are off Trailridge, students should be unbuckled, with their things in their laps, ready to get out of the car. We are working to help our students that are young and still need some help, but especially for older students, being ready to get out of the car when the car stops in the unload area is critical to move the line along.
• In the morning and the afternoon, please be mindful of blocking intersections and driveways as you wait in the carline. Neighborhood traffic is still flowing while we wait.

Afternoon Carline:

• If you need a carline tag, email misty.suwarow@hsv-k12.org and tell her your child's name, teacher, and if they go through the Green or Blue line.
• Once the carline finishes, remaining students will be in the lobby inside the doors at the back of the school (the blue carline).

• Students and staff are randomly sorted into a house, creating a sense of excitement and ensuring a balanced distribution. This will happen shortly after school begins.
• Houses earn points through various activities, including academic achievement, leadership, positive behavior, and school spirit.
• Regular house meetings allow students to collaborate, celebrate successes, plan activities, and build relationships across grade levels.
