New Area for Morning Arrival
Starting Monday, November 3 students will be able to enter the building when they arrive at school in the morning. The new arrival area will be the hallway outside the gym. There will be one teacher supervising students at the bottom of the stairs and another teacher near the kindergarten entry doorway at the top of the staircase. No students should be in any areas of the historic part of the school before 8:05, except for families arriving at the preschool.
This change is in coordination with the November 1-April 1 street closures in Telluride. As the parking areas decrease starting next week, it is imperative that we enforce the “Drop off Zones” on both Townsend and Galena. If you would like to walk your child into school, you need to park on the opposite of both Townsend and Galena. The Drop off Zone is intended for parents to drive up to the curb, let children out of cars and enter the building on their own, so that parents can then drive away leaving a safe area for the next car to unload students. When parents park and run into the building it causes other cars to be forced into unloading children in the middle of the street. We would like your help in making sure that students have a safe drop off area at all times of the year. During the winter months, the Telluride Marshals Department often patrols the area and may ticket cars parked in this zone.
Kids Cavity Prevention Program
On Tuesday, November 4, the San Juan Kids Cavity Prevention Program will begin and run for four days over the next two weeks. We are looking for parent volunteers to work two-hour shifts escorting students to and from their classrooms so teachers will not have to interrupt their lessons. If you can help for two hours on November 4,5,6 or 11 please email me. I will also post the volunteer sign-up on the counter in Shelley’s office.
Lost and Found
With cold mornings and hot afternoons, many students are shedding their jackets and leaving them on the playground. The lost and found box, located by the south door in the basement, is OVERFLOWING. Please walk by and look for lost items before they end up in the Freebox.
