¡Muchísimas gracias por una llegada y salida exitosas en el primer día de clases! A continuación, le compartimos algunos recordatorios importantes para la salida de la tarde de hoy y la llegada del lunes por la mañana:
• Tenga la etiqueta amarilla de pasajeros en auto colgada o visible durante la línea de autos. También se necesita para recoger en la puerta de caminantes.
• Si su estudiante es caminante, NO se permite estacionarse en la propiedad de la escuela durante la llegada o la salida.
• Si se estaciona en la calle Hawthorne Avenue, NO puede bloquear las entradas de vehículos. Se ha notificado a los vecinos que pueden llamar a la policía si es necesario.
• Todos los estudiantes tienen una etiqueta de transporte en sus mochilas. Estas etiquetas deben permanecer en la mochila durante todo el año escolar. Si su hijo(a) cambia de mochila, por favor transfiera la etiqueta.
• Nuestra línea de autos por la mañana es larga. Considere el tráfico de Assumption High School al planificar su llegada. Abrimos la línea a las 8:10 a.m. A partir del lunes, cerraremos la línea a las 8:35 a.m. De 8:35 a 8:40 a.m., puede dejar a su estudiante en la entrada principal de la escuela. Después de las 8:40 a.m., los padres/tutores deberán entrar al edificio para registrar a su estudiante en la oficina.

Agradecemos su atención y colaboración. De verdad, se necesita todo un pueblo para lograr el éxito del transporte en la escuela primaria. ¡Gracias por ser parte de nuestra comunidad!

¡Asista a cualquier evento en la ciudad, pero asegúrese de pasar por el evento en Westport Middle School, donde estare yo, Coordinadora del HFRC, regalando mochilas escolares gratis! 👋🎒

Y si tiene un/a estudiante que entrará a kindergarten, no se pierda el evento especial Blast Off to Kindergarten en McFerran Preparatory Academy el sábado 26 de julio de 10 a.m. a 12 p.m.. ¡Está abierto a todas las familias con niños que ingresan a kindergarten en JCPS!
