🦺Morning drop off reminders and procedures:🦺
As we all prepare for our second day of school, we wanted to go over morning drop off routines and rules to keep things moving as smoothly as possible and to ensure the safe arrival of every student.
Things to know and keep in mind:
-The north parking lot is only for busses and our friends that need extra help throughout the day.
-You may drop off students along Holbrook, Foxdale or Valley View but remind them to walk safely to the front of the school to enter through the main doors.
-Only use designated crosswalks for crossing the street. Please do not cross the busy streets without using the crossing guards on Valley View, we don't want anyone being hurt while trying to get across.
-Please cross the circle drive at the sidewalk rather than cutting across. Drivers may not see you stepping out into their lane as they are dropping off and leaving. We don't want anyone hurt.
-Pull over and park at the curb before letting children out of your car. Stopping in traffic and allowing them to exit creates too much risk for someone getting seriously injured. We want everyone to be safe.
-Only right hand turns are allowed when exiting the circle drive onto Valley View from 7:30am-8:00am. This is our fastest method for getting out of traffic and on your way.
-Until 8:00am, the circle drive is only for drop off. Please have your student be ready to hop out as you stop in the circle. There is no parking along that curb until after 8:00am. If you need to enter the school to speak with someone, please find a spot along the street or in the parking lot.
-Have grace and patience for others. Everyone has somewhere they need to be, and we will always be doing our best to keep traffic moving steadily to help you be on your way.
As you can see, our main goal is ensure student, parent, and staff safety at all times.
Please help us accomplish this by being patient with others and respectful of our morning routine.

🦺 Recordatorios y procedimientos de entrega por la mañana: 🦺
Mientras todos nos preparamos para nuestro segundo día de clases, queríamos repasar las rutinas y reglas para dejar a los estudiantes en la mañana para que todo funcione lo mejor posible y garantizar la llegada segura de cada estudiante.
Cosas que debes saber y tener en cuenta:
-El estacionamiento norte es solo para autobuses y nuestros amigos que necesitan ayuda adicional durante el día.
-Puede dejar a los estudiantes por Holbrook, Foxdale o Valley View, pero recuérdeles que caminen con seguridad hasta el frente de la escuela para entrar por las puertas principales.
-Utilice únicamente los cruces peatonales designados para cruzar la calle. Por favor, no cruce las calles concurridas sin usar los guardias de cruce en Valley View, no queremos que nadie resulte herido al intentar cruzar.
-Cruce la vía circular por la acera en lugar de cruzar. Es posible que los conductores no lo vean entrar en su carril mientras bajan y salen. No queremos que nadie resulte herido.
-Deténgase y estacione en la acera antes de dejar que los niños bajen de su automóvil, luego envíelos al cruce de peatones más cercano. Detenerse en el tráfico y permitirles salir crea demasiado riesgo de que alguien resulte gravemente herido. Queremos que todos estén a salvo.
-Solo se permiten giros a la derecha al salir de la vía circular hacia Valley View de 7:30 a. m. a 8:00 a. m. Este es nuestro método más rápido para salir del tráfico y seguir tu camino.
-Hasta las 8:00 a. m., el camino circular es solo para dejar. Haga que su estudiante esté listo para saltar cuando se detenga en el círculo. No se puede estacionar en esa acera hasta después de las 8:00 a. m. Si necesita ingresar a la escuela para hablar con alguien, busque un lugar en la calle o en el estacionamiento.
-Tener gracia y paciencia para con los demás. Todos tienen un lugar donde necesitan estar y siempre haremos todo lo posible para mantener el tráfico en movimiento de manera constante para ayudarlo a seguir su camino.
Como puede ver, nuestro objetivo principal es garantizar la seguridad de los estudiantes, padres y personal en todo momento.
Ayúdenos a lograr esto siendo pacientes con los demás y respetuosos de nuestra rutina matutina.

What is folklórico?
This type of dance reflects the traditions, cultures and beliefs of people in a particular region. Folkloric dance expresses the life and spirit of a people through its movement and music. It is both historical and current, preserving tradition yet shifting with the current times.

May 1-7 is National PE & Sport Week and we celebrate of the importance of physical education and health education. Health and physical education is a critical component of a well-rounded education. It’s where students learn:
Fundamental motor skills needed to participate in physical activity, which is vital at all stages of life;
Critical personal and social skills needed to help manage daily tasks and challenges; and
Important character values such as resilience, fairness and respect.
