Parent Newsletter 9/23/19

Help us keep our kids safe during Pick up and Drop Off: We have had some problems with parents parking in the pick up/drop off area. We kindly ask you to please not park in this area before or after school. If you need to get out of your car for any reason we need you to park in a marked parking stall and come in to the school. If there is an empty space in front of you while you are waiting to pick up or drop off your students we also ask that you continue to pull forward, filling the void in space. Please note that the pick up/drop off lane is a single deep lane. The other portion of this lane is for a pull-through only. Do not stop or park in the pull through lane. In keeping to this procedure will help keep the flow of traffic moving along so we do not back up into the street more than necessary. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe in this particular area before and after school. 

We also ask that you do not park on the West side of 250 W unless you walk across the street to retrieve your children at the end of the school day. As you may notice we do not have a marked crosswalk or crossing guard to escort students across 250 W. If you choose to park on this side of the road you will need to get out of your car, cross the street to retrieve your grizzly and escort them back to your car. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe! 

Please note that under no circumstance should you pull in to the bus lane to pick up or drop kids off at school. Bus zones are for school buses only, no matter the time of day. 

Air Quality:  As a reminder, we will check the air quality multiple times a day to ensure it is safe for your students to go outside. We watch air quality through www.purpleair.comIf your students have need for special accommodations in dealing with air quality please let their classroom teacher know so we can keep them in.
