Erin's Law Presentations
We will be collaborating with Victor Pacini and his team for presentations related to Erin's Law and child sexual abuse prevention. Victor and his team will be at Meadowbrook on Tuesday, March 7th, to present to all of our students. Here's a letter to all families with more details.
Change in Dismissal Procedures
In order to maximize instructional time with our students, we will begin dismissal procedures five minutes later than usual starting Monday, March 6. Our bus riders will be dismissed at 3:25, rather than 3:20. We will be practicing next week getting our gear on and our backpacks packed quickly in order to get to our buses by 3:30.
At 3:30 we will be dismissing our walkers and car riders, as usual. Car riders will continue to exit through the front doors. If buses are still in the parking lot at this time, we will be utilizing our bus entrance as an exit for cars. This means we will begin loading our cars at the starting car line east of the front entrance doors. Our dismissal supervisors will help with the flow. Once our buses are out, we will be using the full length of the bus lane to load and exit the parking lot.
Managing Traffic
We are also working with our local police department to improve traffic flow in the neighborhood after school. Our dismissal pick-up traffic has been looping all the way to Waukegan Road, causing dangerous traffic situations. Therefore, we will be managing traffic in the following ways:
- managing pedestrian crossings to time with having as many cars in the lot line as possible
- asking everyone to get as close as safely possible to the cars in front of them
- restricting left turns onto Walters from Orchard until the line has shortened
We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we attempt to streamline our procedures to be more safe and efficient.
NWEA MAP
Be on the lookout for an email from Data Specialist Dustin Anand this afternoon that will include your student(s)' NWEA Measures of AcademicProgress Report. The report will show your student(s)' results as well as the district average in reading and math from the winter testing window. The MAP tests provide helpful information for families to monitor the growth of their child, for teachers to continue to understand student learning, and for the district to measure overall performance and alignment to learning standards. Please visit the Northbrook 28 website for additional details regarding the MAP assessment.
