WEEK 3

Week 3 (August 19-23)

A Note from the Principal's Desk

Thank you to all the parents for ensuring your child was present and prepared for testing this week. Please note that scores will be released from the District at a later date.

Please see below, two important Reminders Regarding Carpool:

Pet Policy and Safety: Parents, while we appreciate that your dogs are an important part of your family, we must prioritize the safety of our staff and the efficient retrieval of your students during carpool time, please maintain control of your dogs or leave dogs at home so that our staff can assist your child safely and efficiently. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. This measure will help us maintain a smooth flow of traffic and minimize any potential distraction.
Preparation for Safe Exit: As you approach the carpool sidewalk, students should be ready to exit the vehicle promptly and safely. Have backpacks, lunchboxes, and other belongings organized and ready to go in preparing students to exit the car quickly to minimize delays and ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
