Transportation Update
First of all, let me say thanks to all the parents for your patience as we work out our new pick-up & drop-off systems. Transportation is always interesting the first few weeks, but we will quickly slide into a routine. Please remember the following:
- Buses are keeping seating charts and have many new protocols. Therefore, we cannot allow students to ride home on different buses this year, unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please make other arrangements for sleepovers, after-school hangouts, etc.
- Traffic patterns are new and they are definitely more complex this year. PLEASE slow down and plan on a little extra time in the mornings. We have multiple crosswalks being utilized in the morning and afternoon.
- Cell phones should not be in use on school grounds. We need 100% of your attention on the roads and people working.
Support for blended students
Students that need support when they are working remotely can send questions to hmsremotesupport-group@sdale.org. Teachers will be checking these emails daily and responding to questions.
