Thank You!

Thank you for a wonderful first week!

I’d like to thank our parents and families for helping make the first week a success. Change can come with a lot of nerves and questions, but your patience and flexibility are much appreciated.

It’s been exciting to see our staff and students getting comfortable and beginning to form relationships. I’m proud of how well students have adjusted and are settling in.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such an important part of our school community. We’re off to a great start, and we can't wait to see what this year brings!

Mr. Hilley

Principal

Please be mindful of how early you are dropping students off. We do not have supervision outside prior to 8:47
If your child is home with a fever or vomiting, you must keep them home until they are fever free and/or vomiting free for 24 hours without medication

Parent Pick-Up

Just a reminder that parents should remain in their vehicles and have their child's number ready when arriving for pick-up.

For students in Kinderstart - 3rd grade, parent pick-up is at the front of the building ONLY. Please do not pick up students behind the school or at the north doors. Starting next week, the north doors will be used for GSRP and ECSE ONLY. This procedure is in place to help ensure the safety of all students and families.

Parents picking up students from the transfer bus should first pick up their child from LES, then go to the designated area (see map below) to wait.

Please review the attached maps to make sure you are following the proper pick-up procedures.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient!

Walking to and From School

A.M. Arrival:

Students who walk to school should enter through Door 4 at the back of the building. Door 4 will be supervised for the first five minutes of the morning, from 8:47–8:52 a.m. After 8:52 a.m., walkers should enter through the front entrance of the building.

P.M. Dismissal:

Students walking home after school will exit through the cafeteria doors and follow the designated path to 6th Avenue.

Thank you for helping us ensure students are following the appropriate arrival and dismissal procedures and are staying safe!
