A Letter from the Principal Team,

THANK YOU to all who were able to join us for Launch Conferences. Seeing our parents and kids was the highlight of our preparations this summer! We loved seeing you and spending some time with each of you.

If you couldn't make it for launch conferences, don't fret! I am attaching our parent resources packet to this newsletter (with fixed QR codes as some of them broke in the process of printing). Students will take care of getting their laptops during the first week.

Things to know as we get started together:

Tuesday, September 5th is our first day of school.

RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY

As a BRAND-NEW school, we will have our RIBBON-CUTTING ceremony out in front of our school, starting at 8:30-8:45 on the first day. It's a short ceremony and students will be lined up by their ADVISORY teacher on the basketball courts. 7th graders will be closest to the MAIN ENTRANCE and 6th graders will be closest to the STUDENT ENTRANCE. This event is for students and staff due to limited space and time.

DROP-OFF/ PICK-UP/ PARKING

As you may have seen, our parking lot and parent drop off loop is pretty tight. If we aren't careful, it could turn into a tricky spot quickly, between Mullan Road and Peperzak parents using the same entrance. Below are some details to help keep everyone safe and moving efficiently through this space. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

FOOD

All meals are FREE this year, but supers and extra items will cost money. Please fill out the CEP survey below and visit myschoolbucks.com if you'd like to add money to your child's account.

Cori Fletcher, Assistant Principal

Parking Lot/Parent loop entrance and exit

Shared Entry: Both Mullan Road and Peperzak share the same entry. It's essential to be extra attentive and patient, especially during peak times.

Directional Flow: Upon entering:

- Peperzak cars will turn to the right.

- Mullan Road cars will turn to the left.

Keep Clear: For everyone's safety and to maintain a smooth flow of traffic, please refrain from blocking the entry and exit points to Peperzak.

Maximize Space: To accommodate as many vehicles as possible and to prevent congestion, we kindly ask you to pull forward as much as possible when dropping off or picking up.

Street Parking: You'll be pleased to note that there's additional room for street parking, thanks to the relocation of the bussing area off of 65th Ave.

Entry Only to Mullan Road Elementary and Peperzak Middle School

In this entry only driveway, Peperzak families will turn to the right and Mullan Road families will turn to the left.

All exit traffic will continue past the front of Mullan Road to 63rd street.
