New Morning Line-up Plan Reminder:

Due to safety concerns during morning drop-off in front of the MPR, we are changing our before school procedures for lining up. As stated previously, no drop-offs are allowed in front of the MPR or St. James Court. All students being dropped off should use the VALET IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL. This has been an ongoing issue that hopefully will be resolved with your help. Students will enter the front of the school after exiting the valet line. From there, they are allowed to line up in the quad or go through the school to the playground.This is the same for both early & late drop-off and parents may walk into the quad if they like. ALL STUDENTS SHOULD ENTER SCHOOL THROUGH THE FRONT GATES REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY GET TO SCHOOL. All back gates will be locked starting November 7th. The same process will be used after school for both early & late pickup. All students will exit the school through the front gates.

We truly appreciate your help in this SAFETY issue. Please help us by modeling the importance of following the guidelines set up to ensure our students and your child's safety. This process was demonstrated for students this morning during flag salute. Grades 1-3 will line up in the quad; grades 4-5 will line up under the shade structure by BIG Toy.

Valet Safety Reminders:

Parent Tips
Enter valet area slowly & attentively.
Pull close to the curb so valet volunteer doesn’t need to step into street.
Make sure kids can exit your vehicle safely by having vehicle interior accessible & clear.

Student Tips
Must exit on right side of vehicle.
Kids should be ready to exit with all belongings in hand ready to go.

Thank you,
Tom Ladouceur, Principal

Classroom Visitor Procedures

To ensure the safety of our students and staff and to prevent undue interruption of instruction, all visitors to the campus must follow the procedures below:
Classroom Observations

• Approval of a site administrator or designee must be obtained at least 36 hours before observing a class.
• Frequency of observations will be reasonable so as not to disrupt classroom instruction. Frequency may be limited at the principal's discretion.
• All visitors must check in at the office and wear a visitor's badge before proceeding to the classroom.
• At the discretion of the principal or designee, a school or district employee may accompany the visitor.
• Observations are limited to no more than 30 minutes. (exceptions may be made at the principal's discretion)
• While in the classroom:
  • Observe quietly…avoid talking to students.
  • Do not move about the classroom, as this is distracting to the students and teacher
  • Interact with the students only if the teacher has agreed to such contact before the observation.
  • If more than one person is observing at a time, please avoid conversation until outside the classroom
  • The observation is not to be used as an opportunity to conference with the teacher. If the visitor desires discussion with the teacher on the day of the observation, a conference appointment must be prearranged with the teacher before the observation date
  • Students' rights of confidentiality must be observed.
