From Mrs. Cormier
Thank you for a wonderful first week of school. We appreciate your support as we work through processes and procedures. Things are starting to run very smoothly and we will continue to work to make sure we expedite the car line and get buses arriving closer to on time. As we move into this next week of school, please make sure that you are continuing to help ensure that our policies are being followed.
Students had a wonderful week back as well. They are getting in a groove and starting to grow their brains in their classrooms. Please make sure you review all of the information in this Press. There are many reminders that have already been sent out but also some new information and important updates about MYP and PYP Back to School Nights next week! I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Important Reminders
School hours are 9:25 - 3:35. School doors open to students at 9:00 for breakfast and getting to class transition time. Please do NOT drop your child off before 9:00 as they will not be supervised. If you need before and/or after childcare, please see the Childcare options flyer were in the first day packet and in the front office.
I cannot emphasize enough how critical it is for parents to follow the policies and guidelines for drop off and pick up. This is imperative to ensure the safety of all students. This includes:
- Do NOT stop your car in the middle of a street to drop your student off.
- Students should NEVER cross a road that does not have a cross walk and/or crossing guard.
- If you are using walker gate, you MUST walk up to the gate to pick up your child and/or your child must be walking off campus. You CANNOT park your car in the street at walker side. Law enforcement patrol this and will ticket you. You CAN pull into the south lot of Lakeview Elementary off 25th St. to park and pick up your child. These policies are strictly enforced. You cannot also park your car and stay in to call students to walk across the street on their own. This is NOT the point of walkers gate - the point is for students to walk home or for you to walk up to pick your child up.
- You CANNOT walk your child up to the school on car side. Car side drop off is from the car only. If you have a child that needs assistance with a car seat on car side drop off, you can ONLY do this at spot 1. You always need to wait to move into Spot 1 if you need to get out of your car to help with a car seat.
All families should review the District Code of Conduct and District Cell Phone policy. The district and state require that any student with a cell phone or headphones MUST have them off and put away during the student day. Florida House Bill 1105 is now in effect, and our district has updated the Code of Student Conduct accordingly. Students are not permitted to use or have visible any cell phone or wireless device during the school day (bell to bell). This includes use for instructional purposes unless otherwise specified in an IEP or 504 plan. Please note that this policy will be strictly enforced and we ask for your support and cooperation with our students on this policy.
