November 2019

During the month of November, teachers report on student progress. The Progress reports and Kindergar-ten Communication of Learning documents along with Parent-Teacher-Child interviews are meant to sup-port all of us to work together in order to help your child achieve. When you receive your child’s progress report on Wednesday, November 6 please look for your interview confirmation in the envelope. The interview is an excellent time to see your child’s work, to ask questions about your child’s progress and to gain some ideas about how to support child’s continued growth. Our teachers want to work with you to help your child be successful. Please show your child that parents and teachers are partners in their education. Children will work harder when they know that the significant adults in their lives are working together to help them be successful.

Traffic safety in our community Safety is a top priority at our school. Here is a list of traffic tips to keep students, staff and parents safe while commuting to and from school.

Respect traffic signs and road markers around the school.

Drive slowly and with caution on and near school property. Adhere to the posted speed limits on any sur-rounding streets used by students on their way to and from school.

Always yield to pedestrian traffic. Wait for students, staff members and parents to cross before driving past them.

When dropping your child off at the school, use the Kiss'n'Ride area. This is a supervised area that is de-signed to keep students safe.

Do not double park or do anything else to block traffic or draw your child off the curb and into traffic. Do not take shortcuts over curbs.

Have your child ready to exit the car when you reach the curb. Say goodbye to your child before you park at the curb to let your child out of your car.

During regular drop-off times, students are to remain in the car until it is safe for them to exit the car onto the curb.

Follow the directions of staff or volunteers on duty in the school parking lot and treat staff, students, vol-unteers, passengers and other drivers with respect.

Consider parking off site and walking a short distance to school. This will give you time to talk to your chil-dren about their day, review new vocabulary words, math concepts, etc.

Remind your child to only cross the street at an intersection or crosswalk. They should never “jaywalk” by crossing in the middle of the street. Students who bike to school should always wear a helmet, and follow all traffic laws. They should only cross the street at a crosswalk or intersection—never in the middle of the road.
