Friendly reminder of our campus lunchroom rules!

Please keep in mind that parents and family are welcome to join their child for lunches when they are available to do so, but this is not to turn into a big family group lunch situation. This is still their learning environment and students are still expected to follow the lunch procedures, they are to remain seated at all times with their class (unless sitting at another table with their parent), maintain proper voice levels, and are not to share their food. They must also still follow their arrival and dismissal procedures and leave with their class on time.

We are excited to honor our Grandparents at our upcoming Grandparent's lunch September 14th.

We are asking, for the sake of space, to please reserve this time for grandparents to come and eat with their grandkids if they are available. I am aware that not all of us have grandparents around to attend events like these- I was that student, too, but I assure you, there will be plenty of grandparents to talk and entertain the students.
No one will be left out!
Parents are welcome to attend lunch some other day! I appreciate your help with this!

END OF WEEK UPDATE:
Students are working hard and our car loop line is faster than ever! -approximately 15 minutes from 3:15 to the last car! All bus riders are picked up and headed out by 3:20pm which is another record time!

I did want to address a couple things that are causing some issues with traffic jams and bus route times-
Please remember that our STAFF parking lot contains the BUS LOOP and is off limits. There is a sign at the entrance stating EISD Personnel ONLY may enter that lot. ALWAYS AVOID PARKING IN THAT LOT and park in the parent parking lot please. This allows our bus traffic to get in and out faster.

I also need to address the term "walker". Parents are permitted to walk up with their car tags and pick their students up from their designated hallways. This is what a "walker" pick up is. Our crossing guard is available to help parents and students safely cross or stop traffic to allow buses the right of way.

We do not allow students to walk off campus and get into cars that have not be verified by the teacher. Doing so would create a HUGE liability for the school in the event of an incident. Please be understanding about this. The safety of our students is our top priority.
If this had been occuring before- I sincerely apologize, but it will not be happening again.

Please contact me directly if you have questions or concerns about this and I am more than willing to meet with you!

Thank you for your help with this as we create the safest environment possible for your child.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!

ACTUALIZACIÓN DE FIN DE SEMANA:
¡Los estudiantes están trabajando arduamente y nuestra fila de vehículos para la salida es más rápida que nunca! ¡Aproximadamente 15 minutos, desde las 3:15 hasta que sale el último automóvil! Todos los estudiantes que usan el autobús son recogidos y parten antes de las 3:20 p. m., ¡lo cual es otro tiempo récord!

Quisiera abordar un par de asuntos que están causando problemas de congestión vehicular y afectando los tiempos de las rutas de los autobuses:
Por favor, recuerden que nuestro estacionamiento para el PERSONAL incluye la zona de circulación de autobuses y su acceso está restringido. Hay un letrero en la entrada que indica que solo el personal de EISD puede ingresar a esa área. Por favor, EVITEN ESTACIONARSE EN ESE LUGAR y utilicen el estacionamiento destinado a los padres de familia. Esto permite que el tráfico de autobuses fluya con mayor rapidez.

También necesito aclarar el término "walker" (estudiante que se retira a pie). Se permite que los padres lleguen caminando, portando su tarjeta de identificación del vehículo, para recoger a sus hijos en los pasillos designados. A esto es a lo que llamamos una recogida a pie ("walker pick-up"). Nuestro agente de cruce escolar está disponible para ayudar a padres y estudiantes a cruzar de manera segura o para detener el tráfico y dar paso a los autobuses.

No permitimos que los estudiantes salgan del plantel caminando para subir a vehículos que no hayan sido verificados por el maestro. Hacerlo supondría una enorme responsabilidad legal para la escuela en caso de algún incidente. Les pido comprensión al respecto; la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes es nuestra máxima prioridad.
Si esto había ocurrido anteriormente, ofrezco mis más sinceras disculpas, pero no volverá a suceder.

Por favor, comuníquense directamente conmigo si tienen preguntas o inquietudes sobre este tema; ¡estoy totalmente dispuesto a reunirme con ustedes!

Gracias por su colaboración para crear el entorno más seguro posible para sus hijos.

¡QUE TENGAN UN BUEN FIN DE SEMANA!

ALL PARENTS BE ADVISED--
We will not be changing a students mode of transportation or allowing parents to sign students out after 2:30pm

**If you need to come in and sign your student out for an emergency purpose/doctor's appointment, we can still accommodate that need. All others will need to wait until 3:15 at dismissal, please.

Another important note:
ALL 2nd and 3rd grade students have 2 teachers now. This means they have one class in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Students getting picked up around 2:15-3PM are missing a large portion of their 2 block math or reading classes and are not getting to complete the lessons. Please take this into consideration when attempting to sign them out early. They will still be responsible for the work missed after leaving early.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AVISO A TODOS LOS PADRES:
No cambiaremos el medio de transporte de los estudiantes ni permitiremos que los padres los retiren del centro escolar después de las 2:30 p. m.

**Si necesita venir a recoger a su hijo por una emergencia o una cita médica, podremos atender su solicitud. En cualquier otro caso, les rogamos que esperen hasta la hora de salida, a las 3:15 p. m.

Otro punto importante:
Todos los estudiantes de 2.º y 3.er grado tienen ahora dos maestros. Esto significa que tienen una clase por la mañana y otra por la tarde. Los estudiantes a quienes se recoge entre las 2:15 y las 3:00 p. m. se pierden una gran parte de sus clases de matemáticas o lectura (que constan de dos bloques) y no logran completar las lecciones. Por favor, tengan esto en cuenta si planean retirarlos antes de tiempo. Los alumnos seguirán siendo responsables de realizar el trabajo que no hayan completado debido a su salida anticipada.
