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.

March: Patience
PATIENCE:
Accepting or tolerating delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset
Patience is a virtue, but also an essential skill. You can help children learn and understand patience through practice! Children who learn to practice patience also develop self-control and critical thinking skills. Here are some tips for teaching patience to your children…
Let them experience the wait. Try to find productive ways to pass time without always relying on a screen. Get creative!
Give them information. Let them know what is coming next, and when it will happen.
Have a countdown or visual representation to understand the concept of time.
Follow through when you say you will “get to it”. This helps children understand that being patient can be positive.
Be an example of patience to your children. It’s a skill for everyone!
