New Plan for Student Drop Off / Pick Up

*I am posting the letter that you will all be receiving from the Principal regarding the policy change for Student Drop Off / Pick up at Cordelia Hills, beginning April 10th when we return from Spring Break.  This change has been deemed necessary by the Fairfield Police Department, and not something we had a choice on.  I am sorry if it comes up small, this is the largest I could get it to come up.  If you still are having trouble reading it, you will be given a paper version through the mail and in your child's Friday Folder.

*Also, please note that this will NOT affect our routine for AM Kindergarten.  We get out at noon, so you will still be able to use the drive-thru to pick up your children.  This new policy only applies to before and after school.

*I strongly recommend that you all work to follow this new ordinance.  The Fairfield P.D. seemed pretty unhappy with the congestion in front of our school, and the lack of safety some families had in regards to children (walking students in the street through cars, letting children in/out of cars on the road, etc.).  I believe they intend to monitor our site that first week back to enforce the new policy, and may even write citations for individuals that choose not to follow the new plan.  Just wanted to give a heads-up!!

About the new Slogan...

...I saw a few friends on Facebook post this video and it got me curious.  After watching it, I couldn't help but feel compelled to do my small part with it.  I do not wish to upset or offend anyone with this posting, but I feel that sometimes as educators and parents, we have a right to take a stand on important issues.  I couldn't simply walk away from this one.  For those that don't know about the Kony2012 movement, please watch the video.  For those that do, you are free to make your own choices.  I chose to put it on the side so that the message can stay visible all year, and not get buried by other posts.  You are free to comment on this subject if you like, my only request is that you are respectful and sensitive to other people's feelings.  I do not have a personal connection with the story, but as a parent and teacher, I feel that anyone who harms young children should be brought to justice.  This will be the only post I make on this subject, but I thought everyone needed to know why I have included it on my Blog.
