Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
The big week is here!! I was so very happy to see our students in grades 1-5 yesterday, and it was fun to welcome our kindergarten students this morning! I have seen many smiles and "thumbs up" as our children are learning new routines and beginning to building community within their classes. It is very exciting, and I am grateful to our families for sharing their brilliant children with us.
There is a lot of information in this edition, and as always, please do not hesitate reaching out with any questions or concerns.
Your partner,
Corey

Important Kiss & Ride (drop off and pick-up) Information |
Please review the procedures below to help expedite the process, and hopefully reduce the time spent 'in line' at the Kiss & Ride.
PLEASE REVIEW THESE GENERAL KISS AND RIDE REMINDERS:
Morning Student DROP-OFF (opens at 7:28 a.m. and closes at 7:43 a.m.):
- Pull as far forward as possible, forming two lanes upon entering the parking lot
- Only allow your child(ren) to exit on the passenger side of the vehicle on the sidewalk side only
- Parents should wear a mask and not exit their vehicle
Afternoon Student PICK-UP (opens at 2:15 p.m.)
- Display/hang your Family Kiss & Ride numbered tag from your rear view mirror, facing out
- Parents should wear a mask and not exit their vehicle
- Pull as far forward as possible, forming two lanes upon entering the parking lot
- Allow your child(ren) to only enter on the passenger side of the vehicle on the sidewalk side
- If you need to help your child buckle, please allow your child to enter your vehicle and pull ahead so other cars can get around you
We're asking you to:
- Please not arrive prior to 1:55 pm to minimize the long back-up of vehicles on Cedar Lake Road
- Line up ONLY heading west on Cedar Lake Road. Cars heading east on Cedar Lake Road trying to turn left at the light to enter the parking lot can cause dangerous situations.
- Use your turn signal (blinker) when entering or exiting the parking lot.
- Wear a mask when dropping off and/or picking-up and stay inside your vehicle.
NEW for afternoon pick-up:
- For returning families, the system will look similar to last year. We have added a chip reader to alert us when your car has entered the queue at the first turn into the parking lot by door 3.
- Like last year, students being picked up by their families will again report to the gym at the end of the day. They will stand with any siblings by their family number posted on the gymnasium wall. Students will be dismissed from the gymnasium as their cars are getting into position.
- At either in-person "Connect Times," or on the first day of school, families will receive two car tags.
- At pick up time, please place a tag with your family number facing out on the rear view mirror. The new tags have a chip in them which will display your family number on the screen in the gymnasium.
Please note: To be good stewards of taxpayer money, if you know that you will never pick up your child(ren) via Kiss & Ride, please call us at 952-928-6555, or email Kathy (ninnemann.kathryn@slpschools.org) and we will not issue you the tags with the chips. If already issued, you may return them to Kathy in the office.
Please note:
Students will not exit the building until the family number is displayed/called.
Students will stand/wait in number order in the same place every day in the gymnasium.
