End of Day Car Line
I have seen an increase in traffic congestion with our dismissal at the end of the day recently. One issue in particular that is leading to this increased congestion is when drivers pull into the left lane after loading their children before getting to the end of the driveway. As cars attempt to move into the left lane, they are blocking cars from being able to pull forward in the right lane, thus holding up all of the cars further back in the pick up line. To help mitigate this issue, please keep in mind the following:
Pull as far forward as possible before loading children. No one should be loading before the crosswalk.
Stay in the right lane until you get to the end of the drive, even if you’ve already loaded your children in the car. “Zipper merge” at the end of the driveway as you make a right turn on Traver Blvd.
Do not pull into the left lane if doing so impedes the cars behind you from pulling forward in the right lane.
For a complete explanation of our parking lot procedures, I encourage all families to watch this video.
Class Placement Parent Input Form
Each Spring, our staff works to create class lists for the next school year. We consider many factors when we are developing class lists including: academic and social factors, students who require additional support (ex: ELL, Special Education Services, Reading Intervention,) ethnicity, and gender. Additionally, we seek input from families to help inform our decisions. Please use the linked form to give us input about your child’s placement next year. ALL families in grades Y5-4 should complete the form. In addition to getting input about class placement, we gather information about who is returning and who is not. Please know that we value your input and want to hear from everyone. However, our primary obligation is to develop class lists that are balanced and will best serve ALL students. Therefore, we cannot guarantee any specific placements or requests.
Family Traditions and Heritage Festival
