Arrival Routine Change

On Friday, we met our Safety Patrols! Safety Patrols are responsible 5th graders who have been nominated by teachers to assist Kindergarten students to their classrooms in the morning. We will no longer line up as a class in front of Stapleton School in the morning. As students arrive, 5th graders will walk them down to their classroom to ensure safety and increase time on learning. In addition to Safety Patrols, Kindergarten teachers will continue to be visible at different arrival posts. 

If you are dropping your Kindergartner off, please use the Elm Street drive up method. Mr. Mac, Mr. Burrill and 5th Grade Safety Patrols will be on Elm street in order to assist Kindergarteners exiting cars and walk them safely to Kindergarten door 13. 

We are excited to begin the new arrival process and understand that K students may not remember the names of each Safety Patrol. Many K students have been paired with multiple Patrols in order to reduce wait time and help them get their day started right away. Please email me if you have any questions regarding the new arrival procedure.
