Safety First/News Reporter Chloe/Positions/EVENTS/

Day 5 and we are well under way. With the temperature rising, and the excitement of the new school year, our parking lot suffers the higher than normal drivers. PLEASE plan for this when dropping off or picking up your child(ren). Allow enough time (a few extra minutes) to get in and get out safely.
ALSO--- our school zones have a posted speed limit that you must adhere to.
Students are not to be walking across or in the parking lots without an adult/parent walking with them. PLEASE do not pull up, and motion to your child to cut across the parking lot, for pick up. This is putting your child at risk and allowing other students seeing this,could make them think that it is "ok" to do.
We are so fortunate to have Cashman Park as an annex. Students can safely cross with a cross guard and be dropped off/picked up in that lot.
RED CURBS are a NO PARKING zone as is the CROSSING ZONES and the FRONT OF OUR SCHOOL, where marked by City signs.
We need all parents to partnership with us in protecting ALL OF OUR PRECIOUS STUDENTS,
but it takes ALL OF US. We can not do this without your assistance.
School Council will be looking at ideas to see if there are any steps that we could be taking to improve the system that has been in place since the school opened.
Starting school-Conference nights-Grade level events... plan on the parking lot being busy and full. Please share any and all ideas with your School Council Parent Rep.
We appreciate your input!!!
