CARPOOL RULES

It is imperative for the safety of our children, staff, and morning greeters, that children not be dropped in front of the school to walk through carpool line.  This creates a very dangerous situation for all involved. 

 

If you use the Gentryside Carpool line to drop your children off for entry through the lunchroom door, you must drop them off where they can cross the street via the bridge.  You may not drop your children off on the street.  Do not turn left off of Whittington into the Gentryside carpool line.

 

SOLO & ENSEMBLE  CONTEST
music 
Band, Choir and Orchestra students are feverishly practicing for the first ever Village School President's Day Solo and Ensemble Contest to be held Monday, 9:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M., February 18 in the Fine Arts Building here at school.  Three expert judges have been hired to critique the students and coach them on their instruments.  Students compete against a standard of excellence rather than against each other for a very positive experience.  Medals are awarded to all 1st place winners and the eight most Outstanding Performers of the day will perform for the middle school students the following day at an Honors Concert.  Performance times were emailed to each participant earlier this week.  Please consult Mrs. Pyle, Mrs. Stark, or Mrs. Karakas if you have questions.  Good luck to these industrious musicians!

CELL PHONES

Just a reminder that we do have a cell phone policy.  It can be found the Parents' Handbook on page 10.  It reads:
 
no cell phone
"Student cell phones are not permissible on the school campus."

CARPOOL COURTESY 

Our morning carpool greeters are very special people.  They are here early, and they happily open doors for your children--rain or shine!  It is for this reason they have earned the gratitude and admiration of parents and staff alike.  PLEASE treat these ladies and gentleman with the respect they have earned.  It is always important for all of us to remember that one of the ways our children learn is by the examples set for them by their role models.  Thank you for your immediate attention to this important matter.
