Asbury Families,
Welcome Back Asbury Eagles! This will be the Thursday Folder for the year! Please know you will be receiving this folder every Thursday with important news from our different Asbury partners and teachers. I will be sending this out until Ms. D’s return from her leave in October so please take the time to read through all the information provided.
We are so excited to see you next week! Asbury teachers have been busy planning and preparing their classrooms for all of our little Eagles! A couple of reminders for drop off and pick up. As in years past, the Kiss and Go drop off area is on the west side of the building on Marion street. Teachers will be waiting there and directing students to the blacktop one car at a time. You may pick up your child in this same area at the end of the day as well. Bus drop off is in front of the building on Asbury. Please do not drop off, park or wait in that area! If you are walking and waiting with your child, use the gate and walking path on the corner of Lafayette and Asbury before the teacher parking lot. You may wait with your child until the bell rings but once it is time to go inside we ask that you give your hugs and kisses and allow them to come inside on their own. You may wait for them in the same area at the end of the day. If you are parking on nearby side streets, we ask that you be respectful of our neighbors and avoid blocking driveways or access to their property. Do not double park or stop in any area especially on access streets and the Kiss and Go drop off. This will allow for a smooth and safe beginning and ending to our school days.
The building has been warm the last few days, so please make sure you send water bottles with your child. . The district is closely monitoring the heat in the building and coolers as well as fans will be on early in the day to ensure the building is comfortable upon their arrival.
I look forward to meeting everyone on Back to School Night August 24th from 5 to 6. Have a great weekend and we will see you soon.
In Partnership,
Ana Mendoza (Interim Principal)
