Dear Family,

Please review our parent drop-off/pick-up procedures. We would like eve-
ryone to follow these to insure student safety. If you are using the back
loop you will be given a car symbol with a number on it. We ask that it is
displayed hanging from your rear view mirror. Please note if you do not
have a number in your vehicle or your student doesn’t have their number
on their backpack you will be required to park and sign your student out in
the cafeteria. You will also need your identification. All students must en-
ter and exit vehicles on the passenger side only.
Parents walking students in should park in the north lot and enter the
front lobby entrance. Parents must remain in the front lobby with their stu-
dent until sent down to begin the day. at 8:25 a.m. This is when teachers
will be in the classrooms. We ask that parents do not go down to class-
rooms in the morning or afternoon. Thank you for helping our staff to stay
focused on our students.

All students will be released through the front lobby, JRE cafeteria, or back
loop. Student safety is a top priority. If you need to talk to your child’s
teacher please call or email them to arrange a meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Farnan/Principal
Ms. Kim Ortiz/Assistant Principal

NOTE: The official school day is 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Students
arriving late or leaving early will have this noted in their
attendance.
