School Reminders\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

START OF THE SCHOOL DAY<\/span>\u00a0–\u00a0<\/span>If your student arrives at school before 8:14 am, please remain with them until the 8:14 am bell rings and then have them proceed to the playground (students only, no parents or guardians should come onto campus).\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0An exception for students who come to school and eat breakfast–they may enter campus at 8:05 am but must head straight to the MPR. They should eat breakfast, dispose of their trash and remain in the MPR until 8:14 am. \u00a0On warmer days, we will have outdoor dining. \u00a0At 8:14 am, students may proceed to the playground where staff is supervising until the 8:24 am bell. \u00a0 When the bell rings, students should\u00a0<\/span>WALK\u00a0<\/span>to their line up location.<\/span><\/p>

DROP OFFS<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>– Teachers and staff are focused on supporting our 600+ Dragons each and every day.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Consequently,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>we ask that you refrain from dropping off lunches, water bottles and other items for delivery to students.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 A reminder all Dragons have access to free breakfast and lunch as well as water fountains here on campus we recently had a new water bottle filling station installed! \u00a0If your child forgets their homework, please have them check-in with their teacher regarding late submission. \u00a0Of course, if you need to drop off eyeglasses or any type of medication for your student, please let us know as we will certainly make exceptions for these items. \u00a0Please support our Dragons in following our Ardenwood school rule of being responsible. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

TRAFFIC SAFETY<\/span>\u00a0 –\u00a0<\/span>Thanks to all families who have helped us increase safety on campus by focusing on traffic rules.<\/span>\u00a0 Local authorities continue to visit our campus regularly to support us in this area and in some cases, they issue traffic citations. \u00a0<\/span>Please follow traffic safety rules and comply with regulations. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>
