Mrs. Rose's Message

March 3, 2010

 

From Bishop Snyder High School - Does your student have access to the internet, webcam or cell phone? Are they on Facebook or MySpace? If so, plan on attending a cyber-safety program on Thursday, March 18, 6 p.m. at Bishop Snyder High School, Jacksonville. Rodney Brown, assistant U.S. attorney and James Greenmun, senior special agent with the U.S. immigration computer forensics are experienced professionals in preventing cyber-safety crimes. Please join us and stay on top of what is happening in our students' world. The meeting is complimentary and open to everyone. 

  

ACCREDITATION NOTE: Thank you to all the parents, students, and faculty who completed more than 200 Opinion Inventory Surveys in the past week. Your time and responses are greatly appreciated, and the information will be used to help us generate a more complete School Profile for our School Improvement Plan report. The next round of surveys will be available in approximately 2 weeks, and the information gathered from those will help us review (and rewrite) our Mission and Belief statements.

 

 

TRAFFIC REMINDERS: 

·       Please remember that the Point B Exit is a RIGHT TURN ONLY. We’ve had a few near misses recently when parents have turned left onto Old St. Augustine Rd. even though the traffic pattern does not safely allow for this. (It also sets a poor example for the students when so many parents completely disregard the posted Right-Turn Only Sign and ignore the school policy.)

·       If you pull into a parking spot in the morning or afternoon just prior to or during drop-off or pick-up, please remember that you MUST remain in that space until the majority of the carpool line has moved by. Backing up into the carpool line has been slowing down the AM and PM procedures and is also quite dangerous. We need to keep all lines moving quickly and efficiently in order to get as many cars off the street as possible.

·       THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DISMISSAL LINE FORMED AT POINT A UNTIL AFTER 2:30 EACH DAY. We really need the circle drive open for parents picking up sick children and deliveries being made to the office.
