SIS Teacher/Staff Shoutout
Parents,
Please give a shoutout to a teacher or staff member that has deserves recognition for a job well done! Please answer a few simple questions on the link below. I share this with teachers in the weekly letter I send to them. Please keep sharing!
Reminders
- Please do not allow your students to exit your vehicle in the morning drop off-line until you reach the sidewalk. For safety purposes, we want to be able to see all students as they exit cars.
- Please make sure water bottle have a secure lid, and they only have water in them.
- Please do not block the gate entry as you come into the car rider line. Please move to the far left and fill up all rows.
- Please pull all the way forward in the morning and afternoon car line. This allows more cars in the parking lot and less traffic on the street.
