A Reminder About Drop-Off and Pick-Up
As we continue to work through our drop-off and pick-up routines on both the north and south sides of the building, we ask everyone to please be patient and mindful of others.
A few important reminders:
Please use all available drop-off and pick-up lanes to help keep traffic moving.
When merging, please use the zipper method and take turns allowing vehicles to enter the lane.
Please be patient and courteous to other families and follow staff directions.
If you need to cross through traffic, please use the designated crosswalks rather than walking between vehicles. Children need to be walking with an adult and should be supervised at all times.
We know these times can be busy, and a little patience and cooperation go a long way in keeping everyone safe and helping traffic move efficiently. Thank you for doing your part to make drop-off and pick-up safe for our students and families!
Help Stock Our Recess Closet!
As the weather gets colder, we are looking for a few gently used jackets and coats to add to our recess closet. These will be available for students to borrow when they don't have a coat or when the one they have isn't suitable for outdoor recess. If you have an extra coat or jacket at home that you would be willing to donate, we would greatly appreciate it! Thank you for helping us make sure all of our students can enjoy recess comfortably. Donations can be dropped off in the school office. Please just include a note that the items are donations for our recess closet.
We can also use hats, mittens, and snow pants, although coats and jackets are our biggest need right now. If we receive more than we can use, we will share the extras with St. Peter Claver.
Thank you for helping us make recess enjoyable for all!
Safety and Security
This week, we practiced a Secure drill as part of our ongoing school safety procedures. Following the I Love U Guys Standard Response Protocol, a Secure response means “Get Inside. Lock Outside Doors. Business as usual inside.” This procedure is used when there is a potential concern outside the building. Practicing these procedures helps ensure everyone knows what to do if a situation arises. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping Saint Ambrose safe!
Fall weather is upon us! Thank you for helping students dress for the weather. We will be outside for recess whenever possible.
Language Survey
If your family speaks a language other than English at home, or if your child is exposed to or speaks a second language, we ask that you please complete the attached form and return it to school.
We are gathering this information so we can better understand the languages spoken within our school community and identify opportunities to provide additional resources and support for our students and families. You may send a paper copy back to school with your child or email the completed form directly to me at dhelmberger@saintambroseschool.org. Please use the link below to access a master copy and either make a copy of it to fill out online or print and fill out.Thank you for taking a few minutes to share this information with us. We appreciate your help!
