We have had a great opening. Students are very happy and learning. We are so excited to have such a great start.
Traffic
Traffic is a huge problem at the end of the day as you may have noticed. I have hired supervision for students from 2:45-3:15 Monday through Thursday and 1:15-1:45 on Fridays/minimum days. Please consider picking your child up at 3:00 M-TH or 1:30 on Fridays. We have benches for students to sit and relax before you come. There is magically no traffic at this time. No waiting, no lines means more smiling faces.
Also, if you can please walk instead of drive to pick up your child. This would help tremendously. McMillin community was built as a walking community. The fact that there is only one way in and one way out in front of the school causes many problems if everyone comes at one time to pick up students.
We have in the past meet with the police, the city, homeowners association, and district to help solve this problem. They all left with no answers.
We are looking again to get some help. Would you like to volunteer to help with traffic or be a part of a committee to help with this continued problem? Please email me at cynthia.orr@cvesd.org if you are interested. In the meantime, if you can walk or come to pick up your child after 3:00 or 1:30.
Our Student Safty Patrol will be out in a couple of weeks, but before then please do not block crosswalks.
Reminders
Pets: Please do not walk dogs on campus. Dogs are not allowed even up the stairs at the school. Dogs are allowed on the city sidewalk but not once you walk onto the school campus.
Lunches: If you need to drop off your child’s lunch after school starts, we will try to deliver it before lunch. Please communicate to your child to come to the office to pick up the lunch during their lunchtime if it has not been delivered. Parents will not be allowed on campus during the school day to deliver items to your child. We will do the best we can to get the items to your child in a timely manner.
