Important Dates to Remember:

Thursday, September 14: Back to School Night from 5:30-7:30 PM

This is All School Zoom Back to School Event. The plan is to host a zoom that gives a room to each facilitator/grade level. Families join the main room initially to be welcomed by Admin then split off to their children’s facilitators. As we are a project-based learning (PBL) school, our classrooms look very different from those at a traditionally-based school. Back to School Night will help you get to know what to expect throughout the year, what PBL looks like in the classroom, the various types of assessments we use, home connections, school culture and much more. It is a very informative evening in which valuable information will be given. Please plan to attend.

Valet Safety:

Please be mindful of the following in the morning and the afternoon:

Do not block our neighbors driveways
Do not make 2 lines of cars in the street
Avoid left hand turns into and out of the parking lots
Drive slowly and be courteous to staff and other parents, we want to build our community through partnerships and  kindness!

DROP OFF:

Valet gate will be open from 8-8:30am for drop off.
Parent/Guardian completes the daily health screening on ParentSquare prior to coming to school. Please have it ready to show the valet staff.
Pull forward, show green check marks for health screening to valet staff.
Learner exits the car and continues on to hand sanitizers then enters the building to go to class.
Staff will be there to guide the learners through the process and help them get to class.

UPDATE NOW IN PLACE:

Parents/Guardians that choose to park and walk children into school will need to drop off learners at the front doors.  We will update you as soon as possible when parents and volunteers are permitted back in the classes.

PICK UP:

Dismissal is at 3pm M-TH and 12pm Fri.  Stagger your arrival time; 3pm, 3:10pm, 3:20pm or 12pm, 12:10pm, 12:20pm on Fridays.
Valet gate will be open from 3-3:30pm.
Make 2 lanes ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT.
Display valet cards in the windshield. Please continue this all year long.
Learner’s names will be called.
Drive through the valet and park in one of the designated spots just outside the gate.
Staff will walk your learner to your car.

This process will be slow the first 2 weeks of school. Put on your favorite music, have your favorite drink, schedule appointments after 3:30 and coast with us. Please be kind with staff and courteous to other parents. We promise the valet will move much faster as we all practice together everyday.

Thank you for your patience during this process. It will go faster as days go on!

* Parents may bring their valet card to pick up from the office. Our team will bring learners to the front.
