Dear Parents,
It was a great week with all our students back in person. The students have worked hard to learn classroom procedures and rules.
Curriculum Night Meeting will be Virtual! The Brookwood cluster has moved all curriculum nights to virtual events. We hope that this will allow more parents to attend these important meetings. Check your email for a Zoom link from your child’s teacher. Log in by 6:30 to learn all about the classroom, curriculum, and how you can help your child have a successful school year. We look forward to seeing everyone via Zoom.
August 17 – Kindergarten, First, and Second
August 19 – Third, Fourth, and Fifth
PTA General Meeting: Due to curriculum night being virtual, the PTA has had to move the general meeting to August 24. The state guidelines for approving the budget require that we do this in-person. In conjunction with the board of directors meeting, the PTA will be presenting the 2021 – 2022 budget for your approval. This meeting is open to all. If you have not joined PTA, please consider doing so via MyPaymentsPlus.
Attention Car Rider Parents!!!! We need your help to move the car rider line more quickly and make sure everyone is safe. We currently have 250 car riders being dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon. To expedite the process, please do the following:
- Do not start lining up in the morning until 8:10. The traffic officer does not arrive until 8:15. The buses cannot get through due to the number of cars that are in line.
- Do not block the entrances to any neighborhoods. We must allow people to be able to exit their neighborhoods. One neighborhood has called the police to help with this issue. Cars were blocking the road so no cars could get down the street.
- Have your child ready to exit the car when they pull up to the building. All bookbags, masks, lunchboxes, and materials should all be together so the child can open the door and exit the car as soon as the car stops. Students do not have to wait for an adult to open their door.
- In the afternoon, please do not begin lining up until 3:10. Buses cannot get through, as the traffic is all the way down Hewitt Road. The traffic officer does not arrive until 3:15.
- Parents should always remain in their cars.
- Teach your child how to secure their own seatbelt. If they are unable to, or you are uncomfortable with this, please pull into the gravel lot to secure the seatbelt. This will help us move the cars faster, getting you out and on your way quickly.
I know the long lines have been frustrating. Hopefully, these easy steps can help to move the line faster.
ICE CREAM: Ice cream will be available for students beginning on Monday. All ice cream is $1.00.
