Important Notice 9.14.10
September 14: SLE PTO Meeting
6:30 p.m. at the school
All parents are urged to attend and take part in your child’s school. Topics to be discussed will include:
• ways parents can volunteer;
• student progress after the first month of school;
• Federal Programs Committee’s plans for the year;
• PTO fundraisers and projects; and
• Parents for Public School workshop September 21.
Dress Code
Please review the Student/Parent Handbook concerning the dress code. Students will want to wear coats and jackets as the fall weather gets cooler. Page 13 in the handbook outlines the district and school policy concerning coats and jackets, and this policy is in effect now. Also note that on that same page under “Bottoms” there are directions concerning pants and shorts. Pants and shorts with large outside pockets are not allowed. If you have any questions, contact the principal.
Car Riders
New parents to our school may not know this, but we have a lot more students coming to school this year by car. This has created an unexpected problem with traffic in the mornings and the afternoons. We are very concerned about the safety of students who are dropped off and picked up in the front of the school. You have noticed we have been working to direct traffic to keep traffic manageable and children safe. We thank you for your cooperation. Please note that we will be making more changes in the coming weeks as we receive new signs to help direct drivers.
For the time being, we ask that you do the following for us:
• Slow down! – The speed limit in our school zone is 25 miles per hour. We ask that you drop it down to 15 mph in front of the school during school hours.
• Drop off/Pick up quickly – Have students ready to get out of cars quickly so you can clear the area quickly. The fewer the cars, the greater the safety. The traffic staff cannot easily watch all students when there are many cars in the loading zone at the same time.
• Afternoon pick up - We are working to get the car riders out at 10 minutes before the bell in the afternoon. Please try to be at the school and in line at that time. Please do not block the drive way where buses park.
• No pick up between 2:30-and 2:50 – This is to help us manage traffic. We have to pull staff to cover the traffic in the mornings and the afternoons, so we try to maximize our time and safety by asking parents NOT to pick up students between these times.
• Late changes – If you need for your child to make changes in how they are to ride home (e.g. change buses, ride the bus instead of the car), we need a written note from you with those instructions. Instructions over the phone are not allowed because it is too easy for us to make a mistake and put your child on the wrong bus or in the wrong car. Only in emergency situations can we take instructions over the phone.
Thank you, parents, for helping us with these matters. We also thank the parents who are already volunteering for various jobs at SLE. We really appreciate you! If we can help you in any way, please call us at 253-2324. – Jimmy Henderson, Principal
