We are noticing that parents are arriving very early for pick up. Please remember that the pick up circle must be clear of vehicles during the school day. Therefore, if you arrive early for pick up you must wait in the main parking lot closest to Rt119 until 3:00pm. Cars that are waiting for pick up in the circle and drive way before 3:00 will be instructed to move. This allows emergency vehicles to access the building and for cars to enter and exit the parking lot as needed. There are four short term parking spaces at the top of the driveway for those that need to dismiss a student. Thank you for your help with this.

Parent/Guardian Drop Off/Pick Up Routine Reminders:
The school has 2 driveways as you enter off of Route 119. The buses will drop off and pick up following the driveway on the left. Parent/guardian drop off and pick up will follow the driveway on the right. The parent/guardian drop off and pick up will be a
moving car line traveling around a traffic circle at the front of the building and exiting back down the driveway to Route 119.

Please help by remembering:
Adults must stay in the vehicle
Students enter and exit on the right side of the vehicle
NO passing the vehicle in front of you
Do NOT block the van entrance (white lines)

If you chose to walk your child to the front door parking is available in the front lot. If you chose to park and walk up to pick up your child please walk to and from on the sidewalk along the car side rather than the bus side. At pick up if your child needs support buckling - please pull into a space to support them so we can keep the line moving.

Grade 2 students answer the very relevant question of, "Why do we go to school?" How students respond is foundational to their newly developing classroom communities.

Communication and teamwork are a big part of these first weeks of school in all of our classrooms. Grades 3 and 4 students worked on these skills through a few different cooperative group challenges.
