A Look Inside This Week's Whims
September 2023, 2nd Edition
Sunday greetings, all!
After a blazing few days what a relief it is to be heading into the first full week of school with a milder forecast. That said, we've got our fair share of rain predicted for the days ahead so please send your children to school with extra socks, extra clothes, rain gear, and rubber boots. As they say, there's no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing! We'll have a fantastic first week back rain or shine if we all aim to come prepared. Thank you for helping us keep your kids dry and comfortable as we kick off the school year.
The first week back is full of getting all the little school ducks in a row so please refer to list below to make sure you've checked everything off. A new item has been added for this week- the permission slip for Friday's All School Field Trip. More information (and the permissions slip itself) will be headed your way in the days ahead so hold tight and get your signatures ready.
As we transition from summer break to the school year your children's rest and nourishment is a high priority. Well rested and well fed children have such an easier time acclimating to life back on campus and we appreciate your support in these endeavors. This year we again want to encourage families to focus on high protein snacks, full lunch boxes, and the reduction of single use plastics - both in the form of lunch containers and food wrappers. Not only are these items bad for the environment, they pose an on campus issue as wrappers, baggies, and more begin to litter the grounds come September. Food wrappers and sandwich bags are at times an inevitable part of packing our children's lunches but reducing these items as much as you can has such a big impact. Mother Earth and the Riley Campus thanks you!
And finally, it never hurts to state arrival/dismissal parking lot etiquette as we head into a new year. Please be mindful that these rules are designed not only to keep everyone safe, but also to move traffic in and out of the driveway as efficiently as possible.
The Riley Campus Speed Limit is 8 MPH.
Please wait in line until it is your turn to pull up to the facilitator checking students in. NO PASSING under any circumstances, this applies to Wade Acres and carseat families who will be parking to drop their children off as well. EVERYONE must wait until they're at the front of the line to either allow their children to exit the car or to pull forward to park. It is extremely dangerous to pull around cars as children are exiting vehicles; please join us in keeping campus safe.
Before 3:30 and when line begins to move Wade and Lower School families MAY go clockwise in order to bypass line for front ( carseats) parking
Wishing you all a tasty meal around your family's table tonight followed by a full night's rest. Can't wait to see your shining faces in the drop off line tomorrow morning!
