Friendly Reminders . . .

• Drivers in and around the school
  Please be courteous and cautious when dropping off or picking up students. We need you to respect the traffic patterns and safety patrol crossing areas. Please do not block crosswalks, double park to drop off or park and wait unnecessarily blocking traffic and creating congestion.
• Arrival and Dismissal
  Students are to arrive to school no earlier than 8:45. There is no one to supervise them before this time. Parents who can walk their children to school are encouraged to do so to keep the traffic to a minimum. Those who do drive are asked to drop their children off next to the curb and then leave the premises. Students are to be picked up at 2:45. No one should enter the parking lot before or after school, as there is a great deal of pedestrian traffic at that time. If your child forgets his/her lunch please know that we have extra lunches and they will be fed. Lunches can be purchased at the school.
• Safety and Security
  Visitors (anyone who is not a staff member or student) will not be allowed to be in the building unless they have entered through the office, signed in and received a visitor’s pass. Please do not enter with the children or through any door other than the office door on Hamilton to obtain a pass. In the event of an emergency we need to know exactly how many people are in the building. The new procedures are in alignment with Chicago Public School Board Policy or Illinois School Code. Please be cooperative with staff in regards to these necessary precautions.
• Attendance
  It is important that we know that the students are safe. It is preferred that the parents call the school between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. so that we know your child is at home with you. We will then determine who has not as of yet been accounted for and begin calling these homes ourselves. The more people who call us the sooner we will be able to account for all students. Our goal is to have the parent of every child who is absent call in.
