Morning Arrival Safety & Processes Reminders
Morning Arrival:
- It is imperative that you pull all the way forward in the morning before letting your child out of the car. This allows us to try and fill up our car rider line as much as possible and alleviate traffic from Santa Rita Boulevard as soon as possible.
- Our unloading zone is from one end of the building to the to other. So, if you are down by the cafeteria, please begin having your child get out of the vehicle.
- Do not refuse to pull forward if a staff member is asking you to do so.
- Have your child independently open their car door to exit your vehicle once your vehicle comes to a complete stop.
- Do not refuse to drop off your child in order to get to the front main doors. We have staff members that ensure that all students get into the building safely.
- Please form one lane and do not go around other vehicles or cones or run over our cones.
- Do NOT drop off students in the bus parking lot to avoid our car rider line. That parking lot is reserved for our staff and students with special circumstances.
- Do NOT drop off students by the black Panther walker near Braun and Vista Porta Loop.
- Please follow staff and sign directives.
- Please be kind to our staff members and use appropriate language in the presence of children.
- If you are a walker, please cross the street at the designated crosswalk locations ONLY.

Perseverance:
Perseverance:
Continuing to do something when it is difficult, even if there is a chance you might not succeed.
- How to help students develop perseverance:
- Give children responsibilities.
- Start small, but let them see what they are capable of on their own
- Allow children to be problem solvers!
- Instead of “fixing” things for them, help them come up with ways to determine the outcome.
- Teach them that mistakes are how we learn.
- Failing is okay, but learn from it…and try again!
- Help them understand the power of YET.
- A growth mindset is part of developing a belief in themselves
- Model persistence and perseverance…
- Children need to see adults facing challenges to know they, too, can do hard things!
