Carpool Changes

Carpool Changes
In an effort to better serve our families, and increase the safety and speed of our dismissal… We are implementing a new carpool system for grades K, 3, 4, and 5 in the front of the building. First and second grade will stay the same in the south parking lot. When you come to pick up your student(s) the teacher calling cars will say your child’s name, and then Station 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. All six stations are south of the crosswalk and will be clearly marked. Each station will have a teacher ready to help your child into your vehicle. Today was the first day of trying this system, and we were completely finished within 21 minutes. Yesterday’s dismissal took a total of 26 minutes, so we are encouraged about today’s results as a first try.
Kindergarten walkers will still be picked up in the north parking lot. Second grade walkers will now be picked up in the south parking lot.
Thank you so much for your support as we continue to try and improve dismissal.

Shining Bright this 2014-2015 School Year

August 20, 2014

As I start out the new year I am beyond excited!  Christie is where my own kids have called home for the past few years and now where I will also, not just as a parent but an educator.  I have spent almost a decade in education with many different age groups around the district, but my heart lies with the Christie community.   It is completely home for me.  I am grateful and looking forward to the year ahead.  I cannot wait to meet the kids who will call Rm B119B their home away from home, to build relationships with my students and their family and to watch them SHINE ON! 



In our class we will...

Show respect.
Have a positive attitude.
I will work hard.
Never give up.
Everyone cooperates.
Safety counts.

These are the rules we will live by because we are a respectful community who works hard and never gives up, smiles, cares and loves all. 



In our class We Can Do Hard Things.  I believe in you, and you should too.  I will never stop being your cheerleader, friend, mentor, supporter and heart.  We will learn together, and I cannot wait! 

 
 
In our room we will IMAGINE.  Oh, the Thinks You Can Think! ~  Dr. Seuss.  We will use our mind to think out of the box, create and explore.  I cannot wait!
 
 
I am looking so forward to the year ahead with you!  It is going to be an amazing year, one of imagination, fun and one to SHINE ON!
