Parent Update (Sept 2)

New Students
We were pleased to welcome our new students in the library today. These students will begin their day in the library on Wednesday but will quickly join their grade groups. At dismissal, they will exit through the back door near the primary playground. This procedure will remain in place until class placements are finalized for the year.

Parking

Parents are welcome to use the back parking lot. If you are accessing this area, please exercise caution and be mindful of pedestrians. Students are encouraged to follow the yellow line at the front of the school and enter through the back doors to avoid the construction zone.

For those parking on neighborhood streets, please ensure vehicles are not stopped on yellow lines or in areas marked “No Parking.” Families are also reminded that parking at the Friendship Center, located behind the hill adjacent to the play area, is not permitted.

Classes
Class placements will not be finalized for at least a few more days. An update on this process is expected on Thursday. In the meantime, Grade 1 students who were with Mrs. Burggraaf and Ms. Sherman last year will line up on the playground behind the gym. At the bell, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Stechly will accompany them into the gym.

Breakfast Program
The breakfast program will be available to all students tomorrow morning. Doors will open at 8:15 a.m., with service located at the back of the school between the garden and the hill.
