Please read the following district memo. Also, we will take a survey at our Kindergarten Registration meeting tomorrow to see how many parents would prefer half day kindergarten. Keep in mind that if we have enough students to form a full half day class, those students would be committed to half day and would not be able to change to a full day class.
If the change in mask requirements affects how parents feel about in-person learning, please contact the school office at 801-452-4100. There is still time to choose an alternative learning option, such as Long Term Flexible Learning, which is a quarter by quarter choice to learn online or in person.
Please take a moment to go into your MyWeber parent portal account at myweber.wsd.net and check your student’s lunch balance. If it is negative, please make a payment to bring the balance to $.00. You can do this through the portal or by contacting the school office at 801-452-4100 to make a credit card payment over the phone. (Fyi, the portal online credit card fee has been lowered to $1 for the whole transaction. If you are paying for multiple children, it will still be $1.)
If your family is planning on moving out of Freedom’s boundaries before August 2020, or if you know your student will not be returning for the 2020-2021 school year, please reply to this email with the following information:
1. Student’s Name 2. Teacher’s Name 3. Current Grade 4. Name of the New School Attending in 2020-21. (If not certain of the school name, please provide the city and state where they will be attending.) Those with more than one student, please list the information for each one.
Concerns have been raised about safety issues taking place in our parking lots. (e.g. dropping kids off in the wrong lane, vehicles moving too quickly, moving into and out of the drop-off/pick-up lane rather than pulling forward, using the faculty parking lot instead of the east or west parking lots.) Please review the parking lot procedures below for the safety of all students and adults.
PARKING LOT PROCEDURES
Please follow these important rules while picking up and dropping off your precious children at Freedom Elementary.
1. The East and West Parking Lots are for parent use.
- Loading Zone (Drop-off/Pick-up Lane) *
- Curbside loading and unloading ONLY (students should always exit and enter their vehicle from the doors next to the sidewalk)
- NO parking or leaving vehicle NOT for pick-up or drop-off, but only for driving through the parking lot
- Drive cautiously and slowly, always watching for pedestrians that may be crossing
- Students must ALWAYS be accompanied by an adult when walking across t
- To keep the line moving quickly, pull all the way forward before dropping off or picking up your students (For drop-off, students should be ready to exit the vehicle when you stop.)
- Drive Through Lane *
- The street or parking lot
- Red zones* are fire lane and tow away zones
- Do not park or drop-off/pick-up in these zones
2. The Faculty Parking Lot is for teacher and handicap parking. It also contains our bus zone.
- Bus zone* is for buses and school approved daycare providers ONLY
3. Be a Good Neighbor—blocking driveways or ignoring signage in the neighborhood by the catwalk may result in a citation.
Please also keep in mind the safety and respect of our staff and teachers as they help monitor and supervise children when they are being picked up and dropped off.
Thanks for helping us keep students safe!
