Academic Seminar Reminder

 |
Wednesday, Sept. 5, is our first Academic Seminar of the year. Occurring each Wednesday, Academic Seminar provides important time for staff to collaborate and engage in professional development. On these days, middle and high schools start their day 30 minutes later than normal and elementary schools end their day 30 minutes earlier than normal.

High School Football Game Safety Protocols
|
 |
As we mentioned in last week's Hot News, our high schools are implementing new entrance protocols for football games and other ticketed events. Students will no longer be able to bring in backpacks or large bags, outside food and beverages (empty water bottles are allowed), or bicycles, scooters, or skateboards. In addition, students in middle and high school must show their school-issued ID cards. Your assistance in communicating and reinforcing these guidelines is much appreciated. Additional information is on the
Athletic and Activities page
of our website.

Please Drive Safely Around Schools
|
|
With schools re-opening, drivers need to be especially vigilant for pedestrians before and after school hours. Here are eight important things to remember in school zones: 1) Recognize school zones; 2) Reduce speed; 3) Expect increased traffic; 4) Be aware of pedestrians; 5) Watch for buses; 6) Obey crossing guards; 7) Learn about new drop-areas at Ladd Acres, Eastwood, McKinney and Reedville; and 8) Fines are severe for breaking traffic laws. Click here to view more details about these important reminders.
