Dear Normandale Families,
I hope you all enjoyed a break from student drop-off and pick-up at Normandale! As we ease back into routines here are some new and old reminders about drop-off and pick-up.
NEW REMINDERS:
- Do not use the Green/South View parking lot for drop-off or pick-up.
- The Green lot is for use by Early Childhood and South View families and staff.
- Normandale staff do not supervise drop-off or pick-up in the green parking lot.
| |
|
OTHER REMINDERS:
-
The Normandale Circle is for quick drop-offs and pick-ups only. If your student(s) needs assistance getting in or out of your vehicle, please park in the lot and walk them up to the sidewalk.
-
Please do not exit your vehicle during drop-off and pick-up.
-
Students should exit your vehicle from the passenger side only.
-
Please pull as far forward in the circle as you can before dropping off or picking up your student(s).
-
To enter the circle, use the OUTSIDE lanes of the parking lot. You may not enter the circle from the middle lane of the parking lot.
- Please exit the circle as quickly and safely as possible. If you need to check your phone or take care of other tasks, move to the parking lot so you are not blocking the flow of traffic behind you.
For more information, check out the Normandale Traffic Plan. Thank you for helping to keep traffic moving!

PARENT INPUT FORM DUE MARCH 31
Each spring, teachers and support staff meet and confer to develop class lists for the coming year, striving to create classes where optimum learning for all students can take place. It is our goal to have balanced classes across each grade level. Although requests for specific teachers are not considered, if you have information about your child that should be taken into consideration, please complete the Parent Input Form. Note that this form is optional. Additionally, information that comes in after the deadline may not be considered as the placement process will have already started. The due date for this information is Friday, March 31.
We consider many factors as we try to balance classes and accommodate individual needs such as gender balance, emotional/social combinations, performance levels, special learning needs, teaching/learning styles, and behavioral factors.
