Student Arrival and Dismissal

REMINDER: No Parking in Front of the Main Office for Morning Drop-Off or After School Pick Up

To ensure the safety of all students and keep traffic flowing smoothly, please DO NOT park or stop in front of the main office doors to drop off or pick up your child.

If you wish to use the main office entrance for drop-off or pick up, you MUST park in the parking lot and walk your child to the main office doors.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and efficient school environment. Thank you!

Student Absences: If you child must miss school for any reason, you must phone the office by 8:30 AM to report the absence at 262-472-8500. We take student safety very seriously. If we do not hear from you regarding your child's absence, we will attempt to call emergency contacts. If we can not get a hold of you or the emergency contacts, we may ask for a well-child check from the police department. Please avoid this by calling the school office if your child will not be in school.

Breakfast Eaters- Breakfast is FREE for all Students for the school year

Any student who would like a breakfast provided by the school will be offered one. Students who are car riders or walkers and who would like breakfast should arrive to school at 7:30 and enter through the TURTLE DOORS (door number 10). Parents should drop off in the one way drop off line and students can walk to the turtle doors (next to garden). Bus riders can enter the cafeteria upon arrival if they are eating breakfast. There will be NO BREAKFAST SERVED AFTER 8AM.

CAR RIDERS:

Parents who are dropping off students please read and follow the following information.

• 4k AM (7:50 AM) and PM (12:05 PM) Drop off is at the staff parking lot (door #9). The staff member will meet you there.

• All kindergarten drop off of students will take place in the loop one way drive at the gym side of school. See signage off of Prince Street.

• Staff will come out at 7:50 AM to begin the drop off process. The gym door of the building will not be open until 7:50 am.

• Students are not allowed to be out of vehicles or dropped off prior to 7:50 am.

• Any student who would like a breakfast provided by the school will be offered one and should be dropped off at 7:30 AM (enter through Turtle Doors #10-by school garden).

Parents who will be picking students up after school.

• 4K and Kindergarten student pick up is at the staff parking lot loop (if a 4K or K student has older siblings, they come to the staff lot pick up as well).

• 1st-5th: Just like at drop off, we will ask that parents stay in vehicles and pull through the loop drive of the school. Weather permitting, we will have students outside along the building and waiting for you. If the weather is bad, we will try to keep students distanced inside until we see you pull up and then we will radio for the students.

The 7 Mindsets program is a web-based program that teaches students social and emotional learning skills. The program is based on the idea that success depends more on how a person thinks than what they know. The program's seven mindsets are:

• Everything is Possible: Dream big, be creative, and expect great results
• Passion First: Pursue your interests and talents
• We Are Connected: Learn to empower others and explore the connections in relationships
• 100% Accountable: Take responsibility for your own success and happiness
• Attitude of Gratitude: Be thankful for what you have and find the positive in every experience
• Live to Give: Inspire and serve others, and maximize your potential
• The Time is Now: Take action and harness the power of the moment
