Paw Prints

In order to increase communication, we will send out a weekly Paw Prints newsletter to parents via email every Friday. Be sure to check your email!

Here are a few reminders about expectations:

• If you pull into the parking lot to drop off your students, please park and walk them across the drive-through lane. Please do not pull into the parking lot to drop students off without pulling into a parking spot! Vehicles driving through the drop-off/pick-up lane need to be extremely aware of people crossing from the parking lot.
• Please do not park and get out of your vehicle in the drop-off/pick-up lane. The line needs to move quickly. If your child needs help getting in/out or buckled into a seatbelt/car seat, please park in the parking lot and walk up.
• In the morning, cars should travel east on Neosho and turn right into the drop-off lane. Buses will travel west on Neosho and turn left into the lane. Please allow buses to have 1st priority in the drop-off lane to help with traffic flow.
• After school, cars should line up on 12th Street headed south, starting at Neosho St. Cars will turn onto Neosho St. and turn right into the pick-up lane.

• There are 15-minute parking spots in front of the school for parents to use if they have to pick up their students during the day. Vehicles should not park at the curb on Central Street. If you need to pick up your student during the day, please come inside the school and sign them out in the office.
• If you drop or pick up your child and go around a vehicle still waiting in front of you, please proceed with caution. Watch the crosswalk and for the vehicle(s) in front of you to pull out. Most have no idea a vehicle is coming around them, and there have been several close calls.

• School starts at 7:55 a.m. The 1st bell rings at 7:50. It is important that your child arrives on time so they don't miss out on important instruction in the classroom. If your child needs to eat breakfast at school, please drop them off by 7:40 so they have time to eat. When students arrive after 7:50 and eat breakfast, they are late to class and cause disruptions to the morning. If your child will be tardy or absent, please call the school by 8:30 to excuse them.
• Please make sure your child has tennis shoes to wear for P.E. If students wear sandals or flip flops to school, please send socks and shoes for them to change into.
• As the weather cools off, please send a jacket with your child for recess. We will go outside to play as long as the "Real Feel" temperature is above 32 degrees.
