Finally we are going be able to get outside and enjoy some fabulous winter weather next week. On behalf of the school I would like to pass along our thanks to your children for being so flexible and awesome during the longest stretch of indoor weather most of us can remember. We really did enjoy watching students enjoy some great games of Rock, Paper, Scissors Tag last week – and are equally happy to know that game can now move outside. Winter Activity Day We are looking forward to New Brighton School’s Winter Activity Day on Tuesday. We’ll be heading outside around 1:00. The forecast looks amazing and the activities teachers have put together are great. Students will have lots of choices to enjoy outside taking advantage of the great snow and a chance to be together outside as a whole school. Parking and Drop Off We’ve noticed the return to some bad habits around driver and pedestrian behavior around entry and dismissal time. We would like to remind our community that our supervisors outside are there to keep students safe and that some of the comments and gestures directed to our staff are not appropriate. Please remember that our supervision for students(outside and inside) begins at 7:55AM and you can avoid the congestion by arriving closer to that time than to entry time. Most students seem to enjoy the few minutes outside with their friends and that would go along way to solving the congestion problem between 8:05 and 8:10. We would also like to remind parents that we have several buses that arrive every day – sometimes on time and sometimes not. The buses cannot “do another lap” and some of our students have significant mobility issues requiring adult assistance boarding and leaving the bus. Thank you for leaving the bus zone free. We would also encourage our parents and neighbors to call 311 if they would like to report traffic challenges. Arriving a bit earlier and choosing safety over convenience would solve almost all our traffic concerns. School Council Update We had a great turnout for last weeks School Council and Fundraising Society Meetings. Each month the school shares a report and we are happy to share the report below.
