Morning Arrival Important!! The building opens at 8:00am daily. Please do not drop your child off prior to 8:00, as there is no one on duty to monitor students. We are getting a lot of kids who arrive very early, which makes a long day for our students. If you have walkers or bikers, please plan a time for them to leave so that they are arriving after 8:00am. When dropping off students for clubs or sectionals, do not drop them off in the staff parking lot, in the car rider wait line to enter our parking lot, or anywhere on Geffert Wright, as this causes a safety hazard. Students may only be dropped off in the front lot in the drop off zone by the front door. Thank you for your assistance with this! Morning Car Rider Line has TWO lanes Please note that when getting in the morning car rider line, there are TWO lanes to wait in. The purpose for this is to get cars off of Geffert Wright Rd. When you enter the lane, please pull into the shortest lane. Once the lines start moving, each lane will take turns merging to cross the street. We are asking that parents follow proper traffic etiquette when dropping off their children, as everyone wants to get their children safely to school. We appreciate your assistance with this! Reminder - Teacher websites Many of our teachers have made the transition to Canvas web pages. In order to access the websites, you need to have a Parent Access Account. Once you have a Parent Access Account, you can log into Canvas using the same credentials. If you have difficulty logging onto Canvas, please click on the help button on the Login page, and then Report a Problem. CISD Technology staff will research the problem and get back with parents promptly. Let our office staff know of any specific concerns.
Drop off table Just a reminder that we have a drop off table in the front entry way for items that you bring to school for your child (lunch, instrument, flexi folder, etc.). Please put your child s name on the item (supplies are on the table) and leave it at the drop off table. We will not disrupt the class with a call to notify the student of the drop off, but they may come up and check the table on their way to lunch, class, etc. Lunch and Birthdays Please note that lunch may not be delivered directly from a restaurant or food vendor as we cannot verify that the parent initiated the deliver or approved of the food. Parents may personally deliver or drop off food from restaurants or other food vendors. Birthday treats may be served in the cafeteria once the classroom has finished eating lunch. Due to allergy, safety and sanitation concerns, any items served should be limited to store bought items and be individual items (cookies, brownies). My child doesn t feel great - Do I send to school or keep them home? Allergies are high right now, and that often makes students groggy in the mornings. Many times students wake up and don t feel great, but once they get to school, they usually perk up and complete the day successfully. If they continue to feel bad, they can visit the clinic for evaluation. The nurse will call home if there is a fever, or if the child continues to present symptoms. With that being said, we also have been hit hard with the flu. Be sure to practice good handwashing to stay healthy, and keep students home if they have a fever. Students need to be fever free for 24 hours prior to returning to school.
