Hello Cappy Smart
Families,
We have had an
increasing number of parents and community members come to us to discuss unsafe
choices that are occurring in front of the school. The most frequent concern is
parents and students j-walking (crossing the road when not in a crosswalk).
This
choice creates significant safety concerns for both our students and
their parents. We have witnessed several incidents in the past
few weeks where children have been narrowly missed by cars driving down the
street.
We want to make you
aware that staff are outside and on supervision starting at 8:00 am. This means
that students are safe and supervised on the east side of the school by the
playground. Please help us out by not waiting in your vehicle with your
child until 8:15 am. Please drop off your children quickly and then pull away
to allow other parents to do the same. If the weather is very cold, we open the
doors and allow students into the building early to keep warm.
We work hard to model
and teach safe choices with our students. Please support the safety of your
children by also modeling safe choices. Please use the crosswalks on
either side of the school property or park your vehicle on the far side of the
school playground where students can come to your vehicle without crossing the
street.
Please help teach our
children safe behavior by choosing safety over convenience, every day.
Thank you,
Erin Bennett
Principal
