As promised, I am telling you information that I have, as I recieve it.
It has just been confirmed that the fences blocking Walnut Ave. between Church Street and Pleasant Ave will go up tomorrow.
Fences will be installed between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm. This will allow us to have a "normal" drop off in the morning. Considering that the front of the school will be blocked, we will have to vary our pick-up slightly. We are going to try the following:
*** If your child is picked up in the front, please drive down Pleasant, or park and walk to the front to pick up your child.
****In the back: To help with release we are going to try a new pick-up method for the back yard tomorrow and see how it works. Here is the gist:
All grades will be assigned labeled cones in the playground.
If you have a younger sibling, that child will go to the cone of the oldest sibling in the family.
Cars will pull through. As a family car comes up, the entire group of children belonging to that family will get in the car.
In this way we will try to move as many cars/students through as possible to enhance the efficiency of playground pick-up.
If a parent pulls through and child/children are not ready, the parent must continue in the circle and come back to the pick-up area again.
Teachers will walk students to car and open the door.
If this becomes an efficient way of helping students get into their cars, we may transfer all student pick up to the back during construction.
