The STEAM Weekly Volume 6
Parents and Students,

Keep it up! We are off to a great start so far. Learning is happening, our culture is strengthening, classrooms are safe and our health is well!

ARRIVAL and DISMISSAL
I know that our arrival and dismissal is crowded due to the Fairgrounds being off limits, but we are getting better every day! Our dismissal times are complete by 3:30 daily. Our systems value SAFETY over SPEED, but EFFICIENCY does matter to me. All car riders must be picked up from the circle drive starting Monday. Parents will no longer be able to turn around in the parking lot during arrival or dismissal. We have had too many close calls and I must put you and student safety first.

MEET THE TEACHER NIGHT:
We are moving to a full virtual event. Please use the information and links below to join us for a great digital Meet the Teacher night where Teachers will share their story, classroom systems and expectations, as well as answer questions. We look forward to seeing you next Wednesday 8.25.2021.


Thank you for CARE-ing.

Arrival at 7:45
  • Parents, please drive all the way down the drive towards our exit so that as many students can unload as possible.
Dismissal at 3:15pm
  • All students will be dismissed out the front. Please use the circle drive.
  • PLEASE DO NOT PARK AND TURN AROUND. It is slowing the flow and creating unsafe conditions.
