Parents and Families,
We had an AMAZING first two days of school!!! Your kids did AWESOME and YOU guys did amazing with Pre- K car line, regular car line and morning drop off! Only a couple of hiccups and that is to be expected on the first days of school! The first day of school from start to finish, the carline took 33 minutes. The second day was 25 minutes. We are shooting for 15 minutes on Monday!! Your kids are doing great about getting in and out quickly! Keep that going!
We are going to have an amazing week this week! Thank you for your support!

Pre- K Parents:
We have a new gravel pull-through area for our Pre-K carline that we are hoping will help with the congestion during the afternoon carline. Please review the map so that the carline will go as smoothly as possible. There are gates that you will go through to go around the loop and then to exit. Please do not get in the grass, please stay on the gravel. We will have teachers outside to help everyone know where to stop and load.

Parents of students Kindergarten through fifth grade:
There are some minor adjustments to carline this year. Everyone will still line up on the same road. Please enter on Stroup Road then turn left on to Mosley Loop Road. However, to keep the front of the school entrance open in the afternoon, we are going to push the line back a few feet. This is so that the front entrance is not blocked. There will be a road barricade to indicate where to start the line. When carline begins, we will move the barricade so that you can pull forward. The parking lot map shows the directions to go in and out. PLEASE REMEMBER there is NO TURNING LEFT into the parking during carline time.
