TRANSPORTATION
Please remember that Bus 103 now has a an express route and we are still making some slight adjustments to the route. It will be at least 10 minutes early from this point forward. We are doing our best to notify all families of changes as they happen.
CAR LINE - drop-off and pick-up
Thank you so much to the following folks who volunteered their time this week to make our car line work seamlessly! Our line was clear in the morning at 7:27 and at 2:47 in the afternoon! Remember that we will stop calling students' names by 2:50 or earlier and ask families to come in to sign out the student.
It was amazing to see the dedication these family members have to making our processes work. As educators, we know we can't possibly do this alone, so it means so much to have your help: Gabriel's mom, Ava & Alex's grandfather, Jaeson's mom and big brother, Merritt & Knox's mom. Families, please continue to help with the following tips:
1. Maintain the double line in the second row in the morning.
2. Pull up as far as you can.
3. Say goodbye, give a hug, and have students put on backpacks while you are in line.
4. Encourage your child to get out when you are stopped safely in position next to the sidewalk.
5. If your child is able to open the door, please have them do so on their own.
6. Please do not exit the car while in the line.
7. If you have a student who takes a long time to get out, please park.
HOUSE MEETINGS
All for houses met this week to learn chants and cheers. We talked about the origins of each house and the traits we should display as members of those houses. Be sure to work with your child this week to practice their house chant so that they will be ready for this week's activities. See our digital flyer here to watch videos and practice!
This week, Wednesday is the day to wear house colors!
AREA PARTNERSHIPS
We really can't thank our local partners enough:
- Northgate Church came to clean up our Pre-K play area and it was SUCH a tough job!
- Reverend Parsons from Milford Methodist Church brought us donuts early in August and gave us wishes for a great school year!
- Members of the First United Methodist Church cleaned up our giant planter at the school's entrance before school started!
- Carol Allen from the Central Church of Christ, brought us boxes and boxes of school supplies -- two entire truckloads -- collected by the congregation!
PRINCIPAL'S COFFEE
Wow! Thank you for attending the first Principal's Coffee on Wednesday. It was great to see so many in attendance. We discussed our enrollment (465 students currently) along with logistics like transportation, cafeteria, staffing, and overall use of space, and how these are affected by our numbers.
With Gator PRIDE,
Principal Miller & Assistant Principal Cross
