PA Corner: Directories!  

 

The 2012/2013 directories are being distributed to the students through their Advisory on Wednesday. Be sure to remind your students about them tonight.  

 

If you have multiple students in the grade, only one of them will be given the directory baggie to bring home. Either the older or younger child will receive the directory-we selected which student based on how many directories could fit into each Advisory's box, not by grade or age.

 

In the baggie, each family will receive one full directory and one mini directory, as well as any other additional directories that you pre-ordered. If there are two separate households for your child, then two sets of directories are provided.

Please note-if you advertised in the directory with a 1/2 page, full page or tab ad, you will receive an additional full directory later this week. These extra ad directories will be distributed via your student by the end of the week.

Help Us Fix Carpool Problems  traffic cone  

 

We're a few weeks into the new school year and although carpool is running more smoothly than in the beginning, there are still a few lingering problems with carpoolers who:  

 

1. ...line up in the back of the school by the Fine Arts building rather than remain in the carpool lines. This blocks the flow and slows things down.

2. ...pull in parking spots and then have to back out into the carpool traffic.

3...leave their cars unattended in carpool lanes.

4...fail to pull up when the car in front of them moves forward. 


Please make sure to follow the normal carpool route and rules to make things flow as smoothly - and as quickly - as possible.
