Please use the list below if you would like to create valentines. Please only send in valentines if you are going to bring in one fore every student. This ensures the kids don't get their feelings hurt. Thanks for your understanding! Also, we do have one student with a peanut allergy. Please don't send in anything with nuts if it can be avoided. We will do a fraction related activity to decorate the valentines day boxes. Please send in a box with plain paper on it and we will do the rest.

Morning Carpool Guidelines and Expectations It is an expectation that all cars stay in the car line. Please have students ready with their backpacks and materials to get out of the car quickly. Students may unload all the way back on the new sidewalk along the playground. Do not wait until you get to the porch area to unload. This significantly slows the car line for everyone. Refrain from texting and pay close attention to the movement of the line and students. Safety first. Please cross students at the crosswalk where we have a staff member to assist. It is very dangerous to send children from the parking lot across the carpool line. When you must park and enter the building or walk your child to the building because you are volunteering or have a meeting, please adhere to the following: The only access to park is through the carpool line. Park only in designated parking spaces. Do not use the handicapped spaces for drop off. Do not park along the curbs or drop children off in the parking lot or on Jamerson Road. Children should not be walking through the parking lot on their own. Tips for avoiding carpool stress: Try to arrive between 7:20 and 7:35. There is typically no wait during this time. Utilize the bus if your schedule makes the carpool time too inconvenient. Remember that there is no delay that is worth the safety of any of our children. It is our experience that when these guidelines are followed, the car line moves efficiently and there is ample time to get all students into the building on time. When we have special events and occasions parking is a challenge. Please plan ahead and know that we all do our best. We ask that you remain calm and #bekind. Monday - Wear Red
