Good Morning Wolf Canyon Families, It was a joy to see so many of our Wolf Canyon Timberwolves and families at our event on Monday!  Today we will hit the ground running and are excited about everything the year holds for us.  We know that the parking lot drop-off can be hectic in the morning, and we genuinely appreciate your patience.  Please remember that the first week will be a bit more hectic than normal because of limited parking issues related to TK/K orientation, and families parking and walking their children to class.  Tomorrow, we anticipate it to calm down a bit because more people will utilize the drop-off lane (the lane closest to the school buildings).  While the traffic situation will continue to improve, we continue to strongly encourage you to walk to school (if possible). Today’s Arrival: All families will access the school through the front gate.  We will open the gates at 8:30 and you will be able to walk your child straight to their classroom.  Teachers will greet them, and we will begin the day at 8:45.  We kindly ask that when the 8:45 bell rings you head for the exit as we will need to lock our perimeter gates and teachers will need to start the day. Tomorrow’s Arrival: Gates will be open at 8:20, and all our 1st-6th grade families will be able to walk their students to the blacktop area (students were shown their lines today while at school).  When there, students can walk laps, read at their lines, or sit at their line until picked up by the teacher at 8:45.  TK and K please follow the directions you received this morning at orientation. The tardy bell will ring at 8:45 and our students, teachers, and staff will be eager to begin class immediately at that time.  For this reason, we ask that you make your way off campus after dropping off. Arrival and Pick-Up Safety Reminders: There are nearly 1000 students that attend Wolf Canyon, and our parking lot infrastructure was not designed to support that number.  Because of this, it is even more important to remember the following guidelines. IF YOU ARE DROPPING OFF STUDENTS PLEASE DO SO IN THE DRIVE-THRU LANE (CLOSEST TO THE BUILDING) AND PULL AS FAR FORWARD AS POSSIBLE BEFORE LETTING STUDENTS OUT.  PLEASE DO NOT DROP OFF STUDENTS UNTIL YOU HAVE REACHED THE DROP OFF ZONE.  DROPPING OFF BEFORE THAT SECTION SLOWS DOWN TRAFFIC TREMENDOUSLY. DRIVE SLOWLY AND CAUTIOUSLY OBSERVE SIGNS AND CONES THANK YOU FOR NOT TEXTING OR TALKING ON CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING REMEMBER TO USE THE CROSSWALKS AT ALL TIMES THANK YOU FOR NOT DOUBLE PARKING THANK YOU FOR NOT USING THE DRIVE THRU LANE AS A DROP OFF LANE THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS OF THE SAFETY PATROL OFFICERS THANK YOU FOR BEING RESPECTFUL AND POLITE BIKES, SCOOTERS, SKATEBOARDS, HOVERBOARDS, ETC. MUST REMAIN LOCKED ON THE BIKE RACK OR KEPT IN A SAFE PLACE IN THE CLASSROOM TO BE DETERMINED BY THE TEACHER. STUDENTS MUST WALK THESE ITEMS ON CAMPUS DURING ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL We hope that you have a fantastic evening.  We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Respectfully, Mr. Lange
