Good Evening Parents, This is Principal Mrs. McMannen, with your weekly updates. I hope that you all had an awesome spring break. Our weekly covid screening will take place tomorrow, March 14th. I would like to encourage all students to participate in our weekly testing. Our weekly screenings serve as an added safeguard to keeping our students safe. . We will begin a new and improved carpool system tomorrow, Monday, March 14, 2022. For our morning carpool, you will now drive up to cones that are numbered 1-5. We will be unloading in increments of 1-5. I will be directing traffic, so you will know when it’s okay to pull up. The staff member at that cone will open your door and let your child out. We are asking that you do not let your child out of the vehicle unless you are at one of the numbered cones and a staff member is there to help unload them. We are also requesting that you do not pull out of the lineup and drive around the cars that are in front of you. That creates a safety issue for the staff that is unloading the cars in front of you. During our afternoon dismissal, all parents will be required to drive through the carpool line. There will not be any walk-ups to get your child. This means that you must remain in your vehicle. When you enter the carpool line you will be told which cone to stop at, your child will be brought to that cone, and a staff member will load them into your vehicle. Again we are asking that you don’t get out of the lineup and drive around the cars in front of you. This process will help improve our student safety during arrival and dismissal. I am asking for your cooperation and patience as we all work together to keep our students safe. This Thursday, March 1t7th, is an early release day. School will be dismissed at 12:30 p.m. Parent-Teacher conferences will begin at 1:00 p.m. and end at 7:00 p.m. Parent-Teacher conferences will also be held on Friday, March 19th, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Our PreKindergarten registration will also take place Thursday, March 17, 1:00 p.m. - 7:00 pm and Friday, March 18, 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. A flyer was sent home last week and it was also posted on our school webpage. Thanks for your continued support of Vaughan Elementary School.
