Helpful Tips

  • Please do not let tardies become a habit. Our car rider line is running smoothly, and we are eager to start the day off right.
  • The school encourages families to label their students' items such as water bottles, jackets, lunch boxes, etc. Let's work together to keep our lost & found empty.
  • Around 3:15, our car rider line will close. After that, students can be picked up at the front office.
  • If you need to pick up your student, please do not assign them as a walker. We have a car rider line for those picking up.
  • Continue to follow traffic patterns, staff guidance, and crossing guards.

Parents & guardians, please remember that if your child is not in the building by 7:40am, then your child is considered tardy and must be walked into the building by an adult. We are having students crossing crosswalks unattended and we have students being dropped off on the sidewalk and they don't know their teachers’ names. All SRE staff report to classrooms at 7:40am. After this time, your child is your responsibility due to no available staff supervision.

Families, please check your child's backpack and school items each morning to make sure they have everything that they need. There have been many forgotten items brought to campus after instruction has begun. Here are some tips to support with this:


  • Have backpacks packed every night
  • Use sticky notes as reminders
  • Have students complete an inventory checklist- backpack, snack, water bottle, lunch, etc.
  • Have your child develop a routine of organizing items to ensure that nothing gets left behind

CHARACTERTRAITOFTHEMONTH

CHARACTER TRAIT OF THE MONTH

RESPECT Treating someone or something well
Students are learning how to show respect in the classroom by creating Treatment Agreements. This is a tool used to help students use best practices in showing respect with their words and behaviors at school. Teachers and students discuss what respect looks like, sounds like, feels like between:*teacher to student*, *student to student*, *student to self*, and *student to school*

You can help your student practice respect at home by expecting words and behaviors that reflect how you as an adult want to be treated. Modeling respect is the first step!
