PARENTS IN THE SCHOOL YARD
It is now the month of October. The first month jitters are over and I respectfully ask that parents do not enter the yard in the morning to drop off their children, or in the afternoon to pick up their children. Please wait outside the fence perimeter.Do not block the gate. This is for the safety and security of all our students.
NO PARKING IN THE DROP OFF ZONE
Please respect the fact that the drop off zone is for drop offONLY. Parents may not get out of their car and/or park there. It creates a back log and prevents other parents from dropping off their children safely.
PROGRESS REPORT CARD
Progress report cards will be issued on October 15th.
There might be a week delay but expect them by October 22nd at the latest. Please sign the Reporting Periods sheet in the folder and return it the next day to the homeroom teacher. You may keep the original progress report card for your records.
