I want to remind parents that students may enter the building at 7:00 am in the mornings. Even though some staff enter the building before 7:00, students will not be allowed inside until 7:00 am as these staff members may not be able to supervise students because of other obligations. If I arrive before 7:00 I will normally let students in as I will be responsible for their supervision. Please help us with this problem as we do not want students in the building that are not supervised.
I talked with Mr. Jerry about how the traffic was going out front in the morning and afternoon. He said we seem to have more cars dropping off and picking up than we have had in previous years. He mentioned a couple of areas that he felt needed attention. One area was having drivers signal their intentions when turning into the pickup area. This would let other drivers know what to expect when they have to make a decision as to what they were going to do. Another area he mentioned was for cars to keep a uniform distance from each other. Some vehicles do not pull all the way forward while waiting in line and this prevents more cars from getting into the drive and out of the street. If we all work together we can try to make the drop off/pickup area as smooth as possible.
