Good Morning Eardley Community,
I hope this email finds you well and enjoying our new Winter weather! Our students are beyond thrilled with the snow – making snowmen, building forts and embracing the new cold weather. I continue to be incredibly impressed and uplifted by their positivity and resilience. While this year has brought many challenges, this is certainly a silver lining.
- Inclement
Weather Protocol for Drop Off & Pick Up
- Please find attached our updated inclement weather protocol – we are trying our best to adapt and learn as we enter into the Winter season.
- We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we fine tune and navigate during the pandemic.
- Please note that this does not affect walkers that are NOT picked up – as they will be dismissed with the bussers and daycare students following regular protocol – they will exit and leave the school property at the bus lane entrance (where the crossing guard is).
- If you are registered for Daycare, the protocol remains the same – please drive through the bus lane and drop off or pick up your child(ren).
- AM
Drop Off & PM Pick Up
- Please note that our Staff parking lot during drop off and pick up will no longer be accessible to vehicles – this will blocked and indicated by staff and pylons. We have had many close calls – collisions and even pedestrians almost hit.
- If you are registered for Daycare, the protocol remains the same – please drive through the bus lane and drop off or pick up your child(ren).
