Mrs. Rose's Message

9/2/2010

Hope to see you all at the Home & School Meeting tonight!

6:45 p.m. in the gym

 

Thank you to everyone who attended our WELCOME BACK Bingo Night in the cafeteria last week. We all had a lot of fun…though, we’ll definitely have to move to the gym next year because there were so many people! Thanks to all the teachers and staff members who organized the night and volunteered their time to help out! Congratulations, Mrs. Albright, for winning the BLACKOUT game!

 

Thank you to all parents and grandparents who continue to follow our traffic requests in the mornings and in the afternoons. It is incredibly important that we keep our “parked” carline out of the way of moving traffic in the afternoons. Not only is it dangerous for the parents who sit out on the road (some of them out in the street for 5-10 minutes BEFORE our dismissal even starts), it also prompts the local public to call the police to complain about us.  The citation for being parked in the street BEFORE our dismissal time is $179.

 

Here are a few traffic notes to keep in mind (all year!):

·       Please respect the right-turn only policy when leaving Pt. B in the morning and the afternoon.

·       If you park in any of the spaces alongside the flow of morning or afternoon moving traffic, you may NOT back out into the moving carpool line until the traffic has cleared out of the parking lot.

·       Please refrain from making phone calls or texting during morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal times. I don’t want any students or faculty members put in danger due to someone’s lack of attention.  Thanks.

·       And, as one parent kindly pointed out, please do not block the office complex next to our Pt. B entrance when you are waiting in line during dismissal. Their visitors are frequently trapped in the parking lot by our parents.

·        Patrol parents may NOT park in the 4 spaces along the east side of the circle at Pt. A in the afternoons. If you are on campus before the patrol members are finished with their duty, you must park in the spaces around the gym. The spaces located along the circle driveway are for parents who are asked to pull over by faculty members.

 

STARRY NIGHT AUCTION update: The parents working on organizing our school’s live & silent auction night (March 12, 2011—mark your calendars now!) have already met to begin planning their committee work. When you get a call or an e-mail, please consider helping out! We raised about $35,000 last year for the purchase of the new reading and literature books our students now have. (Those books, however, cost about $70,000!) This year, we are raising money for the purchase of new math books next summer! Thanks!
