Middle School Families,
We met with your students this week in grade level meetings to explain the why behind the new cell phone procedures. We would like to express gratitude to our parents and students for participating in our cell phone procedures. Your support and cooperation have played a crucial role in creating a more focused and engaging learning environment for all our students. We have witnessed a decrease in the number of students in our bathrooms and improved classroom climate. It is heartening to see how small changes can lead to such significant improvements.
We know the carline can be a challenging thing to learn and navigate. Thank you for your continued patience as we smooth out our systems and work to make it faster! As a reminder, Middle School dismissal starts at 3:10. You should not arrive on campus before 3:00 pm. Please review the general arrival and dismissal reminders below.
After school activities will begin after Labor Day. For a list of those available this fall, please visit our After School Activities webpage for more information. Opportunities for our Middle School students are Lacrosse Shots and MTB Club. Click here for MTB information and note that the interest form closes on Friday, August 23rd.
Thank you for your patience during arrival and dismissal this week. Here are a few things you can do to support our entire community:
In all cases: Stay off your phone. Do not video your students while driving away. Stay in your vehicle (we have staff to assist).
Arrival: While you are waiting on the loop, have your child(ren) unbuckle, gather his/her belongings and be prepared to exit your vehicle when you get to the sidewalk. This small act, when done by everyone, can help us unload students faster which means cars move faster.
Dismissal: Encourage your children to keep their eyes open for your vehicle so they know where you will be and remind them to move expeditiously so we can keep the line moving!
We have received several inquiries asking for help in finding potential carpools. If you are seeking assistance, complete this ride-sharing form by Friday, August 23rd. All responses will be shared with others who submitted information in hope that you may be able to connect with another family in your area with whom to partner.
We still have space on the morning bus from the Asheville Outlets. If you are interested in using the option for arrival (and saving yourself time in the arrival line), complete the application and submit your rider agreement. Information can be found on our website.
