·        Map for Vehicle Drop off & Pick-ups: As you prepare for the first week of school, I wanted everyone to be aware that we have worked together with San Ramon Police and San Ramon Transportation to revise the front of the school. Our 3 Traffix buses will pull all the way forward in our parking lot, which will enable cars to still use the parking lot for drop off and pick up even when the buses are present. The Pebble Place exit/entrance to our school is NOT a designated drop-off/pick-up location for students in vehicles. To view a map created by San Ramon Transportation of the endorsed drop-off/pick-up spots, click here.

 

I recommend, if you can, to walk to school on the first day of school. The parking and traffic tends to be heavy on this day.

 

·        Lunch Duty Supervisors Needed: Are you interested in helping out at our school supervising students during their lunch and lunch recess? Would you like to be paid for this? We have two open positions for up to 6 hour/week lunch duty supervisor position. If you are interested, go to this website to apply. If you have any questions about this position, feel free to contact me by calling the office or emailing me.

·        Starting the Day Together: Starting on the second day of school, Tuesday, August 24, you will see a change in how we start the day. Students who start their day at the 8:40 am start time (does not include Kinder or the K/1 combo class) will line up on the playground after the 8:35 am first bell. Teachers will come out to greet students and walk their students to classrooms. As a result, all students and parents should go out to the playground instead of lining up by classroom doors. Teachers will discuss and train students on the first day of school.

 

For the first day of school, students can go directly to their classrooms after the 8:35 am bell.
