Dear Parents,
Over the course of this first week of school, it has been truly evident how our St. George School community is already living out our theme for this year: Growing Seeds of community, faith, wisdom, and service.
In one short week I have watched our middle school students exemplify community by helping our new students get to their homerooms each morning. Our staff exemplified faith by starting a prayer group each morning on the steps of the library. The Home and School board and volunteers exemplified service by facilitating carpool each morning and afternoon and our students exemplified wisdom in a number of ways. Our PreK and kindergarten students have already learned how to navigate the arrival procedures each morning. All of our students have learned their new routines for school and practiced their emergency drills and during my “Walk Around Wednesday” I saw 8th graders completing writing activities about their summer reading book, the 7th graders were discussing the 13 colonies, and our 1st graders were observing a praying mantis.
How wonderful it is to see these seeds being planted right now and anticipating how they will grow throughout this school year.
Mrs. Fontenot
Principal

2nd - 8th grade carpool drivers, please see the below reminders:
- On bus days, all parents for grades 2nd-8th are now going through one carpool line (turn right when entering the church parking lot). Buses will be driving through the other side (turning left upon entering the parking lot).
- There should be no passing of cars on the service road since all parents are waiting in one single line.
- Wait in line on the service road until there is enough space for you to completely pull in to the parking lot when it’s your turn (vs. pulling in prematurely and blocking traffic coming from the opposite direction)
- The line forms on the service road and parents should pull off to the shoulder while waiting to allow for thru traffic to pass.
- Cars should enter in the line coming from under the overpass (not coming from Kinglet)
- No left turn when exiting the carpool lane
Thank you for your attention and cooperation as we work together to ensure a safe and effective carpool experience.
