Harvey Dunn Activities Calendar 2023-24

School Bus Information

You may have noticed a school bus dropping off and picking students up. This is new to Harvey Dunn and we want to remind you of a few school bus rules. It is possible bus stops have been added to your neighborhood. As always, if the bus is flashing red, that means there are kids ahead and you should stop.

Be aware of bus zones. Please do not park on North Drive where the bus pulls in. This area is marked with orange cones. Please drop off behind the cones (Pulling further ahead on North Drive makes it difficult for others to pass at the curve.)

Thank You for your cooperation and help in making sure our students have a safe drop off zone.

Principal's Corner

Greetings Harvey Dunn Families,

We have had an amazing first 6 days of school with our Kindergarten - 5th graders! Early Childhood students joined us Wednesday for their first day of school. We are excited to have all our students back in the building for the 2023-2024 school year! Students have been learning and practicing building and classroom expectations. They are doing GREAT! Kindergarten through 5th-grade students started taking the NWEA MAP Assessments for reading and math. These assessments are given three times a year and provide parents, teachers, and students with information on what students know and what they are ready to learn.

Please take time to read through the newsletter each month for upcoming important dates, school reminders and highlights, PTA news, community opportunities, etc.

Kindest regards,

Mrs. Chamberlain, Principal

Parking Lot Reminders - Thank you for reviewing and keeping students safe!

Students' safe arrival to and departure from school is a top priority. Please take time to review the reminders below. We are all here for the same reason, the children. When we all follow the guidelines during drop off, you help your child start their day off in a positive and safe manner, as well as the other families around you. Thank you for doing your part to make this process and procedure work.

Park vehicles in the parking lot and walk students to and from the school using the crosswalks. If you are choosing to drop off students, use the circle drive or north drive.
Only vehicles with handicap parking permits can park in the handicap spots.
When pulling up in the circle drive or north drive before or after school remain in your vehicle and move forward as the line moves. This helps keep traffic moving.
Students exit on the passenger side of the vehicle. In the circle drive, once you are in the student drop-off zone, students exit the vehicle. When more students are exiting the vehicles, we are able to move traffic through more efficiently.
The north drive might be a faster alternative for morning drop-off when the circle drive is busy. Remain in your vehicle and move forward as the line moves. This helps keep traffic moving.
