Ms. Chidester's Weekly Message: 09/01/23

 

 

Dear Conn Magnet Elementary School Families,   

 

We had a great first week back at Conn Magnet Elementary! Our classrooms were filled with happy students and staff. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead! 

 

Below are a few reminders to ensure a successful start to the school year. 

  • Families are encouraged to maintain a regular transportation method for morning and afternoon drop off in order to assist with an efficient dismissal process. 
  • It is very important to remember that your family is only considered a Walker if you walk from your house to drop off or pick up your child. Families are not permitted to park and walk their child into school or park and pick up their child. These procedures would be for carpool.  
  • New Parent Walker passes must be shown at dismissal for pick up. 
  • Vehicles in carpool are required to use this year's carpool tag and number for pick up. If you need a new tag, please stop in our main office. 
  • Carpool ends at 4:10 p.m.  
  • Dismissal is finished for the day by 4:15 p.m. After that time, parents will need to park and go to the main office to check out their student. 
  • Parents/Guardians must bring an ID to check students in and out of school. 

 

Family Needs Assessment: Student Support Services would like to hear from our families who may be in need of essential services to support the health and well-being of our students. We are utilizing this information to plan for the school year and how to address the needs of our school community. Please click here to access the survey.
