Welcome Back

Welcome back from Spring Break!! 

We would like to welcome everyone back from spring break.

We are rested and charged for our final push to the end of the 2020-2021 school year.

 

Both cohorts will attend school April 12. 

Virtual students wanting to return to school in-person can begin on Thursday, April 29.  This will be the beginning of the last grading period.  Students will attend school on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  Wednesday will remain an independent Learning Day for students.

 

Carpool Guidance 

Due to safety concerns, please prepare to wait in line during carpool.  As return to a routine, carpool will move faster.  Thank you in advance for your patience.

  • We ask all parents to remain in their cars during carpool pickup.
  • We encourage all parents to place your car seats on back right side of the car so that all students can exit cars on the curb.  It is not safe for students to get out and walk around cars.
  • Please pay attention and pull fully forward to the farthest stop so a staff member can assist your child in entering/exiting your vehicle.
  • Please allow time when leaving home for the traffic on Henderson Mill Rd.
  • School officially begins at 7:40 AM. Doors close and there’s no supervision outside at 7:45.
  • Any student exiting a car after the doors are closed should be signed in by a parent by using the QR code.
  • We ask all drivers not to make a left turn when entering the carpool line.  This impacts the flow of carpool, is not fair to those waiting in line and is dangerous.  Drivers should enter the carpool line by making a right into the parking lot. Please be responsible and respectful to others.
