From the Desk of Schuba...
This month’s Coffee & Conversation uncovered a significant safety concern - students walking between parked and moving cars. Music Teacher, Isaac, is out bearing the cold temperatures as our new crossing guard with the understanding everyone - adults and students, alike, should only cross the street at the designated corner.
Another reminder. Several of our neighbors have voiced concern that parents are using private driveways to turn around after drop-off. Please refrain from doing this to avoid interaction with law enforcement.
Safety is a top priority at Isabella Bird Community School, and a topic we take seriously. Let’s work on this together.
Please remain patient.
Patience will ensure everyone’s safety!
DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES
Morning Drop-Off: Kindergarten-5th Grade students can be dropped off at the front entrance of the building on Lima Street. For safety and security, drop students off within the drop-off lane only. Do not let children out of the car from the Drive-Thru lane. Children are asked to exit from the school-side of the car. We ask families to drop-off students from the school side of all adjacent streets, so children do not cross a street to reach school grounds.
Pick-Up Procedures: Please pick up your student(s) on the playground. Elementary students who are not picked up by 3:15 p.m. are taken to the Discovery Link after-school program; cost for this program is $8.50/hr.
Fondly,
Principal Schuba
