Traffic Patterns . . . Safety First
For the safety of our students, be sure you are following the proper school-traffic pattern when entering and leaving school property. Please enter school property using the Prospect Avenue driveway, and exit up the ramp to Martling Avenue.

Dismissal Procedures
To ensure safety in the parking lot, all walkers are dismissed to a parent/guardian in the coned-off area by Jessica's Bench, and are asked to leave the area promptly. The yellow-striped safety-zone area in front of the school steps must be kept clear so that teachers can walk the students to their buses.

Parking Lot Procedures
Remember not to park in the first two rows nearest the building so that buses can exit the parking lot safely. Also, parking is tight! Please don't take up more than one space. Your cooperation is critical.

Contingency Plan

School Hours
The school day begins at 8:00 a.m. Drop off for children is between 7:45 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. We do not have supervision at school prior to 7:45 a.m. Please do not leave students unsupervised on the school steps. School ends at 2:25 p.m.

Emails, Text messaging, IM's, Chat rooms, MySpace
These are wonderful technological advances to keep us connected, but are dangerous tools in the hands of children who do not yet possess the judgment of an adult about their appropriate use. Often these are used without adult supervision present, and so the tone and tenor of a message or IM sent is not censored. Children are under the false impression that their messages are “private” when in fact they are not. Every written message creates a trail that could have serious consequences. With this in mind, it is imperative that your children know what is acceptable—and unacceptable—when it comes to their written and spoken words. It is imperative that they hear this from you.
