Changes in our Office Staff
Mrs. Yvette Jennings will be Proctor's substitute Secretary during this transitional time, as she has worked in the Proctor office in the past. The process to hire a replacement has already begun, and we will keep you posted as we find a qualified candidate.
Krista, will be dearly missed. Her kind and happy spirit in the office always makes everyone feel welcome, and we greatly appreciate all that she has done for Proctor students, staff, and families. We thank Krista for her years of committed service to Proctor and the school community as a whole. We wish her the very best in her new position at Creekside, as they are lucky to have her.
Attached you will find a letter from Krista to the school community:

Fire Victim Care Kits!
Have you wanted to encourage your child to help others in need especially during the holiday seasons?
Well this year at Proctor, we are setting up a hands-on way for your child to do just that. Mrs. Mills (Proctor parent), and Mrs. Ghereben are working on plans to host an on campus event where the children can build care kits for those in need. In order to make this successful we need parent assistance. Depending on the amount of donations and committed parent help received we will either have the building of the care kits available to the children during 1-2 recesses and lunch for 1 day or if we have enough donations and parents volunteers we will have 2 full days available for the teachers to sign up and bring their entire class over to participate. We will not know which schedule it will be until we know what we have received.
Please bring all items to school the week of Dec 3rd-7th so that we have time to collect and sort them prior to the Care kit building the following week on Monday, the 10th and/or Tuesday the 11th.
Kindergarten- New socks adult sizes
First Grade- Fruit cups or applesauce pouches
Second Grade- chewy Granola or Cereal Bars
Third Grade- Warm Hats
Fourth Grade- Gloves
Fifth Grade- Packs of Crackers filled with cheese
If you would like to help for this event or your family/business would like to contribute other items to this event please contact Tracy Mills (707)330-7422, or midnitcwgr1@yahoo.com.

Safety Drill Notification
Parking Lot Safety Reminders!
As we return back from Thanksgiving week, I'd like to remind you of the parking lot rules and procedures we have set forth in our Proctor Student/Parent Handbook. It has recently come to my attention, that there have been some near misses with a student almost being struck by a vehicle last week, and a teacher's car being clipped due to cars driving through the center parking lot island. This is unsafe, and cannot happen moving forward.
Parents/Drivers Rules:
- Please do not park in any red zones on or campus around the school campus on Redwood Road and Proctor
Drivers must wait for students in the inside lane while circling the parking lot and then proceed to the outside lane for loading.
- Drivers may only stop to pick-up students in the loading area along the white curb. Please pull all the forward to allow for more cars to use this space behind you.
- Students may NOT walk unattended to a vehicle in the parking lot. If you have a medical limitation and need assistance, notify the office.
- Drivers must NOT drive through the center Parking Lot Island, as there is a walking crosswalk in the center of this space for students and parents to safely walk through to their parked vehicle. Please back out of your parking space, and drive around the island towards exit.
- Drivers must follow California Traffic Laws such as:
- No cell phone usage
- Be a role model: use the cross-walk at all times in the parking lot
- Avoid parking in red zones
- Avoid double parking
- Stop for pedestrians in cross walks
- Follow the right of way laws
- Be courteous to other drivers, pedestrians and staff
This week, I will also be out during the afternoon pick-up to help enforce these rules as the safety of our students, parents, and staff is one of my top priorities.
