CARPOOL DROP-OFF & PICK-UP GUIDELINES
As we all agree, keeping our children safe is #1! So here's a reminder of carpool rules to keep things running smoothly, efficiently, and most of all ... SAFELY.
DROP OFF: (Berman Entrance)
- Parents, please remain in your vehicles while in carpool line.
- If children cannot unbuckle and/or exit the vehicle themselves, please park and walk your children to the school entrance.
PICK-UP: (Dismissal locations/days/times are on your purple placard)
-
Display Purple Placards on your dashboard -- This is important to identify you during carpool. It's especially important for lower school and after school enrichment pick-ups.
PICK-UP CHANGES? What-to-do:
-
Email dismissal changes to attendance@ksds.edu. Do not rely on only telling your children. Please inform KSDS to avoid confusion about where students should be during pick-up.
MONDAY DISMISSAL: 3:25 pm for all grades, all year long.
SLOW DOWN: Please do not speed in the parking lot. Let's keep our children safe.

KSDS ANNUAL CAMPAIGN - KADIMA FUND
The beginning of the new year brings reflection on both the challenges of the past year and the unexpected bright spots that many of us have shared with family and friends. At Chizuk Amuno Congregation & Schools, we joined together as a community in new and exciting ways. This has been a challenging year for all of us in different ways and we hope that those of us who can give more will do so. Every gift counts! We appreciate any amount that you are comfortable giving.
Thank you to those who have already made their gift this year!
