Dear Wines Families,
We are so excited to welcome the kids to school on Monday! In anticipation of Monday, I want to send one final message with important reminders.
Driveline
You should have received your family Driveline number via email today. Even if your child is not picked up by car, you are still assigned a number. For Monday, please make a homemade display of your number to show in the pickup line. Something the size of a standard piece of paper would be perfect. During the first week of school, your child will be sent home with more permanent number to display. Please let us know if you need more copies during the school year. Please note that siblings have the same Driveline number. If you are parking your car in a legal parking spot and meeting your child at the end of the day, please find the Driveline staff member and show them your Driveline number. I am usually facilitating Driveline at the main entrance and Ms. Schemanske is usually in the Cooley lot. Please note that parking is extremely limited.
Car Safety
Parents, please plan on having your student enter and leave your car from the passenger side. Also, if your child is in a car seat, please practice with your child to learn to buckle themselves in and out so parents do not need to leave the car.
School Hours
My apologies that I had a small typo in the Family Handbook with school start and end times. The school hours are 8:45-3:48. First bell is at 8:42. We will begin allowing students to leave cars at approximately 8:40. Please wait until a staff member alerts you that it is time to release kids from your cars. The rolling Driveline dismissal will begin at 3:40.
IMPORTANT: Parents are currently not allowed to enter the school
I know it is a tradition and a comfort to kids (and parents!) to accompany your child into the school building on the first day of school. Due to COVID mitigation strategies, at the current time parents are not allowed to enter the school building. Please know that we will have lots of adults here to support kids getting where they need to be. If your child is anxious, you may want to consider practicing drop off routines this weekend.
1st Day Coffee
We will be hosting families for an outdoor fist day coffee on the lawn at the front of the building on Monday starting at 9:00. We ask that if you are joining us, that you drop your child off, leave campus, and then come back to park. This avoids congestion.
Parent Orientation Video
If you weren’t able to attend last evening’s Parent Orientation, below is a link to the recording. I encourage everyone to view it.
Also, HERE is a link to the slide deck from last evening.
As I’ve said more times than I can count over the past month or so, I am so excited for school to start Monday. This is going to be a great year!
