Happy October Elk Meadows Family!
We have an exciting month ahead filled with learning and fun! We enjoyed meeting with each of you at Parent Teacher Conferences.
As the weather starts to change, please make sure you are sending your child with a jacket to wear at recess each day.
Please remember to not park in the drop off lane. You must remain in your car at all times to allow the traffic to flow and not back up onto 9800.
Halloween activites will take place on Friday, October 30th.

♦Drop Off and Pick Up Procedures
As we continue to prioritize the safety of all our students, we are tightening up our pick-up and drop-off procedures. We know these moments of the day can feel rushed, but a smooth and predictable loop keeps everyone — especially our students — safe. We ask for your full cooperation with the following expectations:
-
Stay in your vehicle. Please remain in your car at all times during pick-up and drop-off. If you need to assist your child beyond what can be done from the driver's seat, please park in a designated parking spot and walk your child across the crosswalk.
-
Pull forward as far as possible. Continue moving forward until you reach the car ahead of you. This allows more vehicles into the loop and keeps traffic off the surrounding streets.
-
Students exit on the passenger side only. For safety, children must exit and enter the vehicle on the passenger side, directly onto the curb — never into the traffic lane.
-
Be as quick as you can. Have backpacks ready, say your goodbyes, and keep the line moving. A few seconds saved per car makes a big difference for everyone.
-
The thru lane entrance will be coned off. Beginning Monday, October 26, the thru lane at the front of the parking lot will be closed off with cones. All vehicles must join the line — cutting through the lot to skip ahead will no longer be possible.
-
Use the thru lane to exit. Once students have exited your vehicle, pull into the thru lane to exit the drop-off/pick-up lane.
-
Use crosswalks. If you choose to park and walk your child, please wait patiently for the crossing guards to stop traffic before crossing.
We recognize these changes may take a little getting used to, and we appreciate your patience and partnership as we work together to keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient for every student and family.
