Dear IS Families,
As we progress into November we want to use this week’s Monday Memo as a reminder for some important safety information regarding arrival and dismissal of our students. With the increased number of parent drop-off and pick-up comes increased traffic at the Intermediate School, especially during our morning arrival. We need your assistance with a few important points:
- Parent drop-off occurs from 8:30-8:55 AM.
- All students must exit the car from the passenger side once the vehicle is stopped in the designated drop off area.
- Parents may not exit their vehicles. If you need to exit your vehicle, please park the car and walk your child to the crosswalk area. Our staff will monitor your child from there.
- Please unload 5 cars at a time to help keep the traffic moving.
- Please do not pass cars to move through the line faster. This creates a potentially dangerous situation.
- When entering and leaving the school, please be mindful of our student walkers. We have several students that walk to school from the neighborhoods surrounding our campus. It is important that drivers are watching for students and stop at all stop signs.
We truly appreciate your help with these items to make our arrival and dismissal times safe for all students. It is our partnership as an IS community that makes our school a safe and wonderful place!

Screenings
Our typical screening timeline for weight, height, vision, and hearing will be pushed back to a later time. Our department wants to ensure that screenings are performed in the safest way possible. If you have specific concerns about your child, please reach out to your building’s School Nurse.
Flu
Flu vaccines will be highly recommended this cold and flu season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Per the CDC, influenza vaccination will be paramount to reduce the impact of respirator illness in the population. Please contact your child’s health care provider for information on where to get a flu shot.
Our department is working hard to keep our students and staff healthy and safe. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your building School Nurse with any questions or concerns!
