We have been noticing some unsafe behaviors in the morning before school. Please remember keeping students, parents, and staff safe as everyone arrives at school is our number one priority.
Some important things to remember:
-Dropping students off without first pulling over to the curb is dangerous to all
-Using the designated crosswalks makes sure your student is safely escorted across the street
-Everyone has somewhere to be, but be sure to watch for kids and go slow in the school zone
-Exiting the circle drive with a right turn can help get you on your way more quickly and is safer than trying to turn left during such a busy time
Remember we want to keep everyone safe during morning drop off, thank you for helping us do that!

Hemos notado algunos comportamientos inseguros por la mañana antes de ir a clases. Recuerden que nuestra prioridad es mantener la seguridad de los estudiantes, padres y personal al llegar a la escuela.
Algunos puntos importantes para recordar:
- Dejar a los estudiantes sin detenerse primero en la acera es peligroso para todos.
- Usar los cruces peatonales designados garantiza que su estudiante sea acompañado de forma segura al cruzar la calle.
- Todos tienen un lugar que visitar, pero asegúrese de estar atento a los niños y circule despacio en la zona escolar.
- Salir de la rotonda girando a la derecha puede ayudarle a continuar su camino más rápido y es más seguro que intentar girar a la izquierda en una hora tan concurrida.
Recuerden que queremos mantener la seguridad de todos durante la entrega matutina. ¡Gracias por ayudarnos!

May was a short month and it can be one of the hardest months of the school year. It is a busy month full of programs, field trips, testing, and the thought of summer vacation coming soon. It can be a lot for anyone to navigate and we wanted to celebrate one last batch of students who worked hard to be here everyday, be accountable all the time, worked hard even though the school year is nearly over, practiced kindness with everyone, and worked at staying safe.
In addition to our classroom Hawks, our staff that helps out with busing everyday wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate our fifth graders who have been amazing leaders on the bus all year long. These students have led by example when it comes to being to the bus on time, using respectful language and voice levels, staying safely seated, and helping younger students by reminding them to follow the bus rules.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mayo fue un mes corto y puede ser uno de los más difíciles del año escolar. Es un mes ajetreado, lleno de programas, excursiones, exámenes y la idea de las próximas vacaciones de verano. Puede ser un desafío para cualquiera, y queríamos celebrar a la última generación de estudiantes que se esforzaron por estar aquí todos los días, ser responsables en todo momento, trabajaron duro a pesar de que el año escolar está a punto de terminar, fueron amables con todos y se esforzaron por mantenerse seguros.
Además de nuestros Hawks de aula, el personal que ayuda con el transporte escolar a diario quiso aprovechar la oportunidad para celebrar a nuestros estudiantes de quinto grado, quienes han sido líderes increíbles en el autobús durante todo el año. Estos estudiantes han dado el ejemplo al llegar puntualmente al autobús, usar un lenguaje y un tono de voz respetuosos, permanecer sentados de forma segura y ayudar a los estudiantes más pequeños recordándoles que cumplan las reglas del autobús.

K06 and 306 students work on building social skills during their Hawk Buddies time.
Spending time together playing games, reading books, and talking to each other while building with blocks allows for our students to build relationships outside their classroom and helps them grow as Hawks.
