ACTION ITEM #1
Help Us Keep Morning Arrival Moving
You can help us make arrival safe and efficient by following these simple reminders:
Have your child gather their belongings while waiting in the car.
When you pull to the curb, encourage your child to exit the vehicle promptly.
If your child forgets something, please pull into the parking lot rather than stop in the car line.
As you leave campus, please turn right. Left turns back traffic onto campus and slow the arrival line for everyone.
Thank you for helping us start each day smoothly!
ACTION ITEM #2
Register for After-School Programs
Registration for our after-school clubs and enrichment programs opens on Monday! We offer a variety of opportunities for students to explore new interests, develop skills, and connect with friends beyond the school day.
ACTION ITEM #3
Help Your Child Build Strong Attendance Habits
Your child is an important part of our school community! We notice when they're here, and we miss them when they're not! Regular attendance helps students build friendships, confidence, strong routines, and a sense of belonging. As a family, reinforce that showing up matters, even on days when school feels challenging. If attendance ever becomes difficult, please reach out early so we can partner with you to support your child.
REMINDER
