Principal's Message for Families, 9/3/2024

 

Sanford Creek Families,

With the start of traditional calendar schools last week, some of our smooth running processes were "interrupted"; notably AM & PM carpool.  WCPSS and the Town of Rolesville continue to work together to solve our specific "pain-points" with no right of way at our entrance/exit from/onto Granite Falls Blvd.  We are thankful for the support of Rolesville PD for providing an officer to help direct traffic and help our walkers cross the crosswalk.

For the safety of all SCE students & staff, please slow and do NOT stop your vehicle over the crosswalk (AM & PM). If you are waiting for the carpool line to move, please either stop ahead of it (preferred) or make sure you have the clearance to be fully on the other side before moving forward.  I'll talk more about this at our PTA meeting Thursday night.  Speaking of, we hope to see you there (6-7pm)- virtual link to join is below.  

 

In Kind, 

Tiffany Rich, Principal

UPDATE -BUS TRANSPORTATION

With the start of traditional calendar schools, our green and yellow buses have seen some delays, whether AM or PM. Over the next 2 to 3 weeks, please be patient with our bus drivers as they observe and become familiar with new traffic patterns with the return of traditional school, while ensuring every student is picked up and dropped off safely at their assigned stop. Breakfast is held and is made available to students who arrive on late buses. Staff supervision is provided for students who are waiting for late buses to arrive on campus in the afternoons. 

 

To check if your students' bus is delayed, go to https://busupdates.wcpss.net/ and follow the instructions. You may use the Here Comes the Bus app to monitor bus updates also.  For questions or concerns, please contact Gladys Washington at gwashington@wcpss.net or 919-570-2100.
