This week, students:
🧪 Made predictions about liquid densities

🚗 Set Up for Success: Dismissal 🚗
Keeping our Firebirds safe is our top priority! ❤️💙 Thank you for helping us make dismissal a smooth and successful part of every school day.
Please help us keep all students safe by following our dismissal procedures:
🚘 If you need to get out of your car:
Please pull over to the left or right side of the drive-through lane and park before crossing the entryway. This helps keep traffic moving and prevents students from running across the driveway to reach their families.
📍 Dismissal Locations:
🐦 Pre-K: Dismisses from the Pre-K pod and classroom door
🐦 Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade & 6th Grade: Dismiss along the front drive-through
🐦 3rd Grade, 4th Grade & 5th Grade: Dismiss through the back parking lot and north drive
🪪 Important Safety Reminder:
Students may only be picked up by adults listed in the Contacts section of their electronic student record.
Set your family up for success now by checking your student’s contacts and adding anyone who may need to pick up your child in an emergency situation. We understand that traffic delays, emergencies, and unexpected situations happen — planning ahead helps us keep students safe while making sure they are released only to approved adults.
Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe and efficient dismissal process for all of our Firebirds! 🔥🐦
