What You Need To Know
Kindergarten Morning Car Line: I recognize that morning drop-off is not always easy, especially when you are navigating roads throughout town and/or managing drop-offs at multiple school buildings. Please know that we understand and are working together to make the process as smooth and safe as possible for everyone. We have noticed that the car line becomes increasingly busy between 8:15 and 8:25 a.m. For those who are able, I encourage you to take advantage of the 8:05 a.m. start time, which may help ease some of the congestion. I have also had to reallocate staff to ensure that our new Breakfast Program operates efficiently and, most importantly, safely. The car line will conclude at 8:25 a.m. so that instruction can begin promptly and staff can attend to their morning responsibilities. Please know that I will continue to monitor the process and make adjustments as needed. I appreciate your patience, flexibility, and cooperation as we work through these routines together. Some important reminders about using the car line to help keep it moving efficiently:
- Students must be ready to exit the car when a staff member opens the door
- Students must be able to unbuckle independently
- Students must have all materials (backpack/water bottle, etc.) ready to go.
- Please read Parent Tip #1 from our Literacy Coach, Mrs. Staci Kaplan below.
- Day of Giving: The Primary Centers will celebrate the Day of Giving on Monday, November 23rd. Please refer to the flyer that was e-blasted and sent home via backpack with more details. Students will be treated to assemblies from the Summit Police Department and GRACE.
- Attendance/Tardy Letters: As we complete the first two months of the school year, my office has been reviewing student attendance and tardiness data. A student is considered "chronically" absent or tardy if they miss more than 10% of school time, regardless of the reason. To keep you updated, some families may receive a letter-please know that these notices are purely informational and are meant to help us work together to ensure our students are present and ready to learn every day.
- Planning Ahead...November 25th is a Single Session Day and schools are closed on November 26th and 27th.
