FROM THE OFFICE OF STEVE KELNHOFER, PREK - 8TH GRADE PRINCIPAL

Dear Parents,

 

A huge thank you goes out to you as parents and guardians as we pass the second week of being on the Ledge, while creating a wonderful experience for those who are joining us virtually! The joy of being on the Ledge face to face or virtually is seen everywhere I look. Thank you for your support and positive energy as we continue to learn and be a faith based educational community, together.

 

Please look for parent/teacher conference instructions included in this eLedger. You will also find helpful recommendations to support our traffic flow in the morning and afternoon. Let’s continue to work together for the greater good of the whole.

 

God Bless,

Steven Kelnhofer

Traffic Flow

P3 – 5th Grade Levels

Morning Routine:

All parents with children P3 – 5 will use the SOUTH (GREEN) lot.

 

Use the “Hug N Go” zones around the perimeter of the parking lot (sidewalks line the entire drop zone east and west side.) Please pull up as far as you can in the entire “Hug N Go” lane to create a flow in our traffic pattern. Parents, please stay in your car if you intend to use this lane. Only use parking stalls if you intend to walk your child into school.

 

Older siblings (grades 6-12) may be dropped off at this lot, but will be asked to use the footpath along the front western edge of the building, entering the North Hall entrance.

 

Afternoon Routine:

P3 and K4 students, who are not attending afternoon Enrichment, will be walked down to the South Hall lobby and brought outside to meet parents.

 

Families, whose youngest child(ren) is in grades K-5, use the South lot for pick up.

 

Use the “Hug N Go” zones around the perimeter of the parking lot (sidewalks line the entire drop zone east and west side.) Please pull up as far as you can in the entire “Hug N Go” lane to create a flow in our traffic pattern. If you are in this lane stay in your car and follow your family’s plan on where to meet you. The animal signs around the “Hug N Go” lane are perfect for your family’s planning. Only use parking stalls if you intend to walk your child(ren) to your vehicle. DO NOT PICK UP YOUR CHILD(REN) IN THE DRIVING LANES. This is a safety concern, and I ask all of us to support safety.

Thank you.

 

6-8 Grade Levels

Morning Routine:

All parents with children in grades 6-8 will use the North Office entrance to enter school.

 

Afternoon Routine:

Please arrive after 3:10 p.m. to let the 3:00 p.m. traffic release. Please feel free to wait in the teacher’s south parking lot if you are an early bird for pick up. If you are picking up children who are older (grades 6-8) they will walk through the grade school and exit through the South Hall doors, meeting you in the North or South parking lot. Grades 6-8 are encouraged to use the western path alongside school to be picked up in the North Hall parking lot. This will reduce congestion in the South parking lot.
