Dear St. Serra Parents,
I hope that you are looking forward to a fun and exciting Labor Day weekend! Since school started, there are a few things that have come to my attention that I’d like to share with you.
MemorialCare Parking Lot
For years, St. Serra has had a great relationship with MemorialCare, and they have allowed us to utilize their parking lot, on occasion, for evening and weekend school events. Sadly, their management has informed me that some of our parents have been utilizing their parking lot throughout the school day and prior to student pickup. With this, there have been multiple reports of speeding in the lot and scaring elderly patients, inappropriate language used toward patients and MemorialCare staff, and extreme disrespect toward their staff when they remind people not to drive through or park in their lot. As a result, MemorialCare will no longer allow us to use their parking lot at any time, for any reason. I am asking that we please adhere to their request.
Student Safety
We have many children who have requested walking passes this year. These students either walk home or to a vehicle waiting nearby. If your student has a walking pass, it is important to have a conversation with them regarding safety and awareness of their surroundings as they leave campus on foot. During afternoon traffic, there are many moving vehicles in the parking lot and cars are moving at very high speeds on Antonio. Often the children get in a hurry and pay less attention to what is going on around them; this puts them at risk for serious injury. Please take the time to discuss the importance of complying with directions from St. Serra staff, staying on the sidewalks and using the crosswalks.
Volunteers Needed
With added security at the entrance to the School Office, we are in need of parent volunteers to help monitor the reception desk area. If you are interested in this volunteer opportunity, please reach out to Mrs. Juliana Nellett at jnellett@serraschool.org.
Always striving,
Tim Tolzda
Sr. Principal
