New Crossing Guard at Doubletree/Deerhill
|  |
There will be a new crossing guard at the intersection of Deerhill and Doubletree Rd beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 8. We are hopeful that this will be a help to ensure more  safety in students coming to and from MCMS. Pedestrians as well as drivers are reminded that they must obey the directions of the crossing guards. Safety of students is essential. Unfortunately, there are still daily instances of parents and students engaging in extremely dangerous actions; crossing streets through traffic, exiting cars into traffic, driving with cell phones, and even parents going into the street to stop traffic. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY! In addition, parents are reminded to not drop off or pick up students in the private residential streets. In particular, no drop off/pick up on THISTLEGATE RD.

| Spirit Wear has Arrived!
| |
 Pick up Date: Wednesday September 9, 2015
Time: 7:30 am - 3:30 pm
Place: Teacher's Lounge Side Door
We are NOT distributing Spirit Wear during your child's lunch due to the fact that there are over 200 students who have placed orders for pick up. Students can pick up their order either before or after school, but please be prepared for long lines. Parents, if your schedule permits, apparel can be picked up throughout the day and will be a much easier process for you and your child. Please note: There is NO parking in the staff parking lot or stopping in the drop off lane from 7:30 am - 8:25 am. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Stephanie Boggs at: stephboggs821@gmail.com

| Traffic Safety Volunteers Needed | |
 We are looking for two or three volunteers to help during morning drop off to help keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely. If you have time from 7:30 - 8:30 am, please contact Brad Benioff at BBenioff@oakparkusd.org for more information.
Even if you can't volunteer, we can all help by remembering to make safety our highest priority. Thank you for your support.
