Coffee with the Principal on November 21

11/6/2019

A Message from Ms. Panag:
One of the joys of elementary school is that I get to see families in many spaces such as arrival, school trips, Family Fridays, and other celebratory school events. You often hear me say that I have a learning stance. Where I listen to the community - parents, students, staff, and then thoughtfully respond to the needs of the school. I have met many parents, and heard and responded to questions, concerns and comments.

I am delighted to share the launch of "Coffee with the Principal" starting this month. This is the first of monthly meetings where I have an informal space to engage with families. I"ll hope you'll come enjoy a morning of conversation and coffee with me on Thursday, November 21 at 8:30 am in the cafeteria.

Morning Arrival is Changing- November 12

11/6/2019

Summary of Changes:

As a result of safety and logistical concerns voiced by parents and staff, as well as research on other schools arrival processes, we will be implementing changes to the morning lineup process.
If children will be in the yard prior to 8:15 am, they will need parent/caretaker supervision. Note: the playground will not be open for use during morning hours.
Doors will open at 8:18 am.
Students will enter through the same doors they have been entering since the beginning of the school year. There will be staff assigned to each door.
Students proceed to their classrooms to meet their teacher(s).
Doors close at 8:23 am. Students who arrive after 8:25 am will enter through the main doors and get a late pass from the front office.
Students will practice these new procedures with their class during the school day before these changes happen.
