Dear Cardinal Families,
I hope that everyone has enjoyed the summer and kids are ready for an exciting year of learning!
I wanted to take this opportunity to inform you of our morning drop off and afternoon pick-up procedures at Cardinal Elementary. This first week has been great and we want to recognize your efforts in helping to keep all students safe during these times.
At Cardinal Elementary, we use the front (North) drive for drop off, or you may park on Pershing Road and safely walk your student down to the building where they can enter through the east doors. All students will be coming into the building for the start of the day and waiting in specified areas (TK/K - music room, 1st-art room, 2nd-gym) before going to classrooms at 8:05. This is also a time for students to eat breakfast which will be served from 7:50-8:05. If you are utilizing the drop off area in front of the building, please remain in your car to keep your stop quick and allow for traffic to keep flowing. Vehicles are asked to remain on the left side in order to keep the right side open for bussing. The only vehicles permitted on the east side of the building will be school buses or staff vehicles. SEE IMAGE BELOW FOR CLARIFICATION.
At the end of the day we ask that you also use this front (North) entrance as a drive-through only to pick up students. Please remain in your car and refrain from parking in the parking spots at this time. If you prefer to park you may park on Pershing Road and wait at the sidewalk. The crossing guard will escort your child across the drive safely. You can pull up to the end of the front entrance as traffic moves along. Teachers will escort students to your vehicle. Thank you so much for your help in keeping our Cardinals safe!
Warm regards, Sara Bennis, Cardinal Building Principal
