    Welcome Back Huskies!

    It's going to be a great year!

    Here are some drop off and pick up reminders to get us off to a good start -

    Drop off and Pick up Procedures

    DROP-OFF

    Preschool (3 & 4 year olds)

    Preschool drop off is at 8:45. Parents will drop off their student in front of the school and do not need to park their car and walk their student into the school. Students will be greeted by a staff member and will head into school. Walkers will come with their families via School Street. If dropping off your student, please wait for the cars in front of you to move. For the safety of all students, DO NOT pull out and pass cars in the drop off line.

    Kindergarten - Grade 4

    The school day begins promptly at 8:40. Drop-off is between 8:20-8:40. We ask parents to please stay in their cars and not walk your student into the school. Please note: Supervision of students is not available until 8:20 AM so please refrain from dropping your student off prior to 8:20.

    1. All car and bus drop off will be done via Elementary Lane. If dropping off your student, please wait for the cars in front of you to move. For the safety of all students, DO NOT pull out and pass cars in the drop off line.
    2. Walkers and bike riders should come to school via School Street. Bike riders must wear a helmet.
    3. Children being dropped off by car or bus will pull around the circle to the walkway where they will be greeted by a staff member and will head into school.

    PICK-UP

    Preschool (3 & 4 year olds)

    Preschool dismissal will take place at 11:45 for the 3 year olds and 3:00 for the 4 year olds. Please follow the same procedure as drop off and wait in your car and someone will bring your child to you.

    Kindergarten - Grade 4

    Dismissal begins at 3:25.

    Buses and car pick up take place on Elementary Lane. Parents can help by following these safety routines:

    • Buses are loaded and dismissed as they arrive. NEVER PASS WAITING BUSES. Occasionally the teacher on duty may need to board a bus to speak with the driver or the students – please be patient in the event of a delay, and remember that safety must come first.
    • Cars wait in a single line by the guardrail until signaled by a staff member to pull up. DO NOT PARK IN THE PICKUP LINE OR LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED. Please stay in your vehicle until the teacher on duty dismisses your child. Students will be dismissed by the side door facing the parking lot. Please note that car pickups are only permitted in the main parking lot (no School Street car pickups). It is critical to know which children have been dismissed and which are still awaiting pickup, and it is not possible for our staff to monitor both areas at once. Children may not run between buses or cars waiting in the pickup line. If picking up your student, please wait for the cars in front of you to move. For the safety of all students, DO NOT pull out and pass cars in the line.
    • Walkers and bicycle riders exit down School Street after being dismissed by the teacher on duty. Parents can help by discussing the importance of bicycle and pedestrian safety with your child. Bike riders must wear helmets. We recommend that children not ride bicycles to and from school when road conditions are snowy, icy or rainy.
    • Do not leave the school grounds with children without telling the teacher on duty. He or she has a daily checklist of dismissals and needs to know who has departed. Thank you for our help with this.

    Important: Please remember to input your child’s dismissal plan in PickUp Patrol daily. It is a way we can work together to make sure every child arrives home safely.

    Donuts with Dad

    Our preschoolers have been busy preparing for a very special day! They sent invitations and decorated placemats because they were having guests for snack today. Their dads and grandfathers joined them for a Father's Day celebration — and what a celebration it was! They enjoyed donuts for snack and spent time with their guests in the classroom. A fun time was had by all!
