Throughout the school day, children will be using this quiet space as an extension of their classrooms to study, read, and to work with our Reading Specialists.  If you are in the building during school hours, we ask that you please respect the Living "Class" Room space by keeping silent and walking around the perimeter, instead of through the center of the space.  

Dismissal Time
 

Our students are learning right up until dismissal time at 3:30. When a parent is requesting an early dismissal, the disruption may possibly affect the student's progress in school. Effective immediately, we ask that all parents and family members wait until 3:30 dismissal to pick up their children. No one will be allowed entry to the building after 3:00, except for those who have business with the school. 

If you must pick up your child for a doctor's appointment, especially between the hours of 2:30 and 3:30, please notify Ms. Mosley at least a week in advance.

We are working towards a smooth systematic school year, and need to have procedures such as these in place to ensure the well-being of our students.  Of course emergencies happen but if we all work together, all of our policies and procedures will definitely help our students have a very productive school year. 

• If you are coming from Shaw or HWY 44, please head EAST on McRee (southern street parallel to our school). Take a left on Klemm, a left on Folsom, and then line up in the QMC parking lot to come down our alley.

• If you are headed northbound on Tower Grove Ave, please turn onto McRee. Take a left on Klemm, a left on Folsom, and then line up in the QMC parking lot to come down our alley.

• If you miss the turn on McRee, you may continue (past Blaine) and take a right on Folsom.  If you do this, please continue East on Folsom, past the QMC alley entrance. Make a U-turn when it is safe, and join the east-bound line waiting for the QMC entrance into the alley.

Please do not use a right-turn onto Folsom as your primary route to City Garden. It is dangerous, causing unnecessary stress to our neighbors, local businesses and other parents. 

• You will no longer be able to wait in line for entrance to the alley in the east-bound lane on Folsom for safety reasons.

• Please obey all standard traffic signals and customs. Please make sure you are not blocking exits for any of our local businesses on Folsom.

• Please wait in the curb lane. There is no reason for City Garden drivers to block moving traffic lanes on any of these streets.

Lastly, please make eye contact and smile at your crossing guards!!  They are working hard in the heat and rain for the safety and efficiency of your child's dismissal.

PAC - Our Parent Advisory Committee

PAC is City Garden's parent advisory committee.  All parents are a part of PAC and we would love for you to participate in any or all PAC events.  Subcommittees are forming now!  

We will tell you all about it when you join for our first general meet and greet of the school year on September 18 from 6 to 8 pm. 

"If you are a parent, you are a member of PAC. Come for food, fun and meet some parents. After the social hour, we will meet and discuss plans for the 2014-15 year."

- Jamila Owens-Todd, PAC President
