* Car
drop off and pick up ONLY in the car lane coming from the NORTH on
COLLEGE
Street. Please do NOT drop off at any other location, as it is not
safe. Keep in mind; if you are coming from east University, you can
utilize Pine and Maple Streets instead of WALNUT Street to access
College Street. Please drive carefully and slowly in the neighborhoods,
as there are many walkers and narrow streets.
PLEASE DO
NOT USE 9th or 10th streets from Walnut to get to
College as these are very narrow streets.
ALSO,
please do not park across the street and walk across and pick your child
up. IF YOU ARE PICKING YOUR CHILD UP AT 3:00, we need you to do so
in the car lane or through the office as different teachers bring
students out of the building. No picking up students BETWEEN the
buildings as we are not able to check identification at these
locations.
* All
parents and visitors must report to the office to sign in and receive
their visitor’s
YELLOW
badge. This is a SAFETY ISSUE, we must know who is on our campus at all
times.
* The
U.S. and Texas Pledges are recited each day as well as observing a
moment of silence due to the Texas regulation that was passed last
summer. All students must participate unless a parent requests
nonparticipation through a written note to the principal.
*
RESTRICTED FOODS: Staff, parents, and students may not serve or
provide to elementary students any food or drinks that are considered by
the TX Department of Agriculture as FMNV (Foods of Minimal Nutritional
Value) during the school day. This includes carbonated drinks, all gum
and all candy. Some foods are acceptable as noted on the blue handout
that went home the first day of school.
Please
do not send birthday treats or snacks to school that will be shared
with other students prior to checking with your child’s teacher or
the office as we are required to follow these regulations.
* MORNING
TUTORING coming soon. Please check your child’s THURSDAY TAKE HOME
FOLDER each week for important information.
*ADDRESS
AND PHONE NUMBER CHANGES: It is so very important that we have current
address and phone numbers for each child in case of an emergency.
Always let us know of changes so we have up-to-date information.
*MOVING
DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR – One of the most difficult things for a child is
to change schools during the school year. We find that this hinders the
learning process. Please try to keep your child in the same school all
year long!
