School Messenger
August 6, 2014
Trailblazers,
This is Mrs. Graf with important information for our
school community:
This is a special
school messenger specifically regarding carpool. Trailblazers, I need your help to support an
efficient and safe carpool process. Yesterday’s
carpool was no less than a hot mess! Track 4 is back and we have an increased
number of Trailblazers utilizing carpool.
Additionally, we have two new pre K classes along with our two Track 4
Kindergarten classes. While we are tightening up our indoor carpool processes
and routines, it would support us if you could do the following:
ü
If you
are a Pre K parent or a Kindergarten parent we are asking that you position
your car seats on the loading side of your car.
This will allow us to load your child in a timely manner into your
vehicle. I will be asking all parents
who want to get out of their vehicles to pull into the designated parking spots
for buckling. This will allow the flow
of carpool to continue.
ü
Work
with you child to learn their carpool number.
Make it game or give a special treat if they can memorize and recognize
their number being called.
ü
Additionally,
all carpool parents, it is critical for the efficiency of carpool that you
remain in your designated carpool lane.
If you switch lanes, it causes a misalignment of students in line at the
wrong cones. This slows down
carpool.
ü
And lastly,
carpool should be a time when we have your undivided attention. I understand the need to multitasking-we all
have things to do, but I ask that once the line starts moving that cell phones
and electronics not be used. We have had
a fender bender and several close calls of accidents. I am requesting your support and would like
you to honor this request.
That’s it
Trailblazers. We are off to a wonderful
start and I know that we can work together to make our carpool process
efficient and safe!
Always Trailblazer
Proud, Mrs. Graf
