Hello Smallville,
As the new school year begins, I can't help but feel a rush of excitement and anticipation! We are only a few short days away from kicking off a year full of fun and new experiences. I know that starting fresh can be a little daunting, especially for our new Cougars, but I promise it's going to be an incredible year filled with learning and growth. Let’s embrace this adventure with a positive mindset and remember, that staying present in each moment will help us make the most of every opportunity and turn challenges into triumphs.
Below I listed a few reminders, to ensure that we have a smooth start.
Morning Drop off and Afternoon Pick up Procedures
Please adhere to all signage and directions from staff during drop-off and pickup. For the first week, I suggest that you add about 10-15 minutes to your morning commute to accommodate all families learning the drop-off and pick-up routines.
We have a new crossing guard at the intersection of Staggerbrush, please follow all of his directions, so that our Cougars are able to use the crosswalks safely. When dropping off, please make sure that your students have all of their belongings ready to go with them. This will ensure that drop-offs are efficient and we can get the line moving as quickly as possible.
Remember that we want our Cougars to have a peaceful and amazing start to their day. In order to maintain this calm environment, we need everyone to model appropriate behavior in our school zones. We ask that everyone follows all driving regulations including speed and crossing guard directions. Please do not utilize your horn in our school zones. This alarms our students and causes anxiety. Failure to follow staff members' directions or posted signage may result in our campus SRO or Austin PD contacting you to review our policies or issuing citations.
Please review our specific expectations for drop off and pick up in the pictures below. Thank you!
