Hello Smallville,
I hope you had a fantastic week! I’m looking forward to enjoying the weather this weekend and catching a few football games. Last night our community came together for our annual Dual Language Potluck. It was a beautiful night filled with lively conversations, music, and informative presentations about our high school dual language pathways. Thank you to Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Gonzalez for hosting such a rewarding night!
As we continue to venture through this school year, I would like to provide everyone with a few reminders so that we can ensure that we maintain smooth systems that support our students. Thanks for helping us keep our Cougars safe and our drop-off/pick-up process running smoothly!
Drop-Off Zone: Please avoid dropping off your student along Monterey Oaks. Even if your Cougar is quick to jump out, this can create big traffic jams and safety issues. Let's keep those roadways clear!
Crossing Guards: Our crossing guard on Staggerbrush is there to keep everyone safe, but they’re often working solo. Please pay close attention to their directions and don’t drive through the crosswalk while students are crossing, which has happened a few times this week. Safety first!
Pull Forward: “Pull forward please!” Mr. Poehl’s favorite line during morning arrival. He wants to remind you to pull as far forward as you can in the drop-off line. This keeps things moving swiftly and avoids bottlenecks.
Morning Rush: We get it—some mornings are a whirlwind. But to ensure everyone’s safety, please follow all signage, directions, and procedures even when you are in a time crunch.
Lunch Drop-Off: If you’re dropping off lunch, make sure it arrives before your child’s lunch period. Students will get a pass to the front office to pick it up, and while we’ll try to call their classroom, it’s up to the student to use the pass. Our front office staff is always busy, so we can not take responsibility to hand deliver food to students. If you know you will drop food off to your students, please let them know beforehand. Please note, that we can’t accept deliveries from services like DoorDash.
Stay Present Cougars,
Bedford
