It is wonderful to see how many students are making new friends and enjoying their extra play time. Unfortunately, I am currently struggling to support our student numbers with the staff we have available. We are requesting that, until we can address our staffing needs parents\/caregivers pick up their children as close to dismissal time as possible and not utilize&nbsp;Extended&nbsp;Care&nbsp;unless necessary (this includes waiting for older sibling pick up and work requirements).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We apologize for this inconvenience. It is our goal that we can get back to normal soon so we can better support families and give our students access to more time on campus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parking Concerns and Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have had a chance to settle into the school&nbsp;year, we are asking that you make every effort to use our drop off option in the morning. This is a multi-school site and faculty and staff are struggling to find parking spaces. IF you feel the need to walk your child in, please try to say your good-byes quickly so your parking space can free up for others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key Reminders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;Pull all the way up to the drop off site at the end of the parking lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;DO NOT park in teacher spaces in front of NWP or in the west lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;DO NOT park in handicap&nbsp;spaces unless you legally can<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;DO NOT block busses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;DO NOT stop to drop off in the red zone<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7&nbsp;&nbsp;Please continue to&nbsp;<strong>practice patience<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>safe driving<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enjoy having parents attend our Monday morning circles. I will work with NWP and the teachers to see if we can come up with a plan to support parent participation.<br><br>Thank you for your support and cooperation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">VILLAGE FEST<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What a wonderful VILLAGE FEST!
