Dear Blue Oaks Families,
December is upon us and I can't believe it! Your students have learned so much and are making amazing progress this school year. I want to remind everyone that on Mondays during early-out dismissal, pick- up can get a little crazy. All our students are dismissed at the same time and this poses a slight problem on the lower parking/pick-up area. If you arrive early, please pull all the way up to the end of the yellow curb or you can park in a parking spot and wait for your student. Please remember that your student should be able to enter their car independently so parents don't have to get out and help them. It is also very helpful when leaving the parking lot to turn right and go around the neighborhood. That would allow traffic to flow more fluidly and help cars leave the parking lot quicker. I appreciate all your help with this.
Thank you,
Mrs. Cumbra
Student Council Update:
The CHiPs for Kids Toy Drive have been helping to make the holidays brighter for children in our community for over 15 years. You can help bring cheer to kids in need by donating new, unwrapped toys from now until Thursday December 16th. Please drop your donations off in the front office near the red bin/Holiday Bulletin Board. We thank you so much for supporting this cause and helping get our Bears involved in our community.WATCH DOGS Kick-off Jan. 20th at 3:30-4:30!
Come and enjoy some cookies and refreshments as you learn all you need to know about the fun Watch D.O.G.S program. The program is a little different than before as we will have the dads on campus to help during 11:30-1:30. Come at 11:15 to get your picture with yours student (s) for the wall of fame and then head out to support our bears during lunch and recess time. It will be a great time to be able to eat lunch with your student (s) and play with them too. You will be able to meet their friends and have fun. If you are not able to attend this meeting, please don't worry! Let us know and we will give you all the information you need. We look forward to partnering with our dads to make this a great program at Blue Oaks.
As a Reminder- Pick Up/Drop Off
Traffic in and around Blue Oaks School presents the number one
safety hazard to children and adults!
We request your cooperation.
- Speed Limit- It is very important to drive slow when picking up or dropping off your student. Many families are driving fast through the crosswalks, causing students and families to be alarmed. Please be respectful of all our students and community and drive slow!
- SUPERVISION- Supervision doesn't start until 8:25. We ask that you do not drop off you student before 8:25. We have recently had a few student being dropped off before 8:25 which is not safe. Please plan accordingly so that your child can be at school at 8:25.
- The WEST PARKING LOT - in front of the Kindergarten wing - is designated for drop-off and pick-up of transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, first and second grade students by private vehicle, only. Watch for children! Children may not go into parking lots unless they are with an adult. All students entering the west side parking lot must use the crosswalk on Halesworth. DO NOT stop or park your vehicle except in a designated parking spot. Remain in your car when at the yellow curb and pull all the way up to the end of they yellow curb.
- The DROP-OFF/PICK-UP AREA in front of the Multi-Use Room is for school buses and daycare agencies only. Please do not drop off or pick up students on Horncastle Ave. There is no supervision.
- The EAST PARKING LOT – in front of the Adventure Club and the upper grades playground is designated for drop-off and pick-up of third, fourth and fifth grade students by private vehicle, only. There is no crosswalk in this parking lot. Children may not cross or enter the parking lot unless accompanied by an adult. DO NOT stop or park your vehicle except in a designated parking spot. Remain in your car when at the yellow curb.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED IN THE DROP-OFF/PICK-UP ZONES.
If you wish to park your car, kindly pull into a designated parking space.
Thank you for respecting the privacy and property rights of residents on streets adjacent to school.
We request that you walk your child/children to school whenever possible to cut down on traffic and pollution, promote healthy life habits and enhance the safety of all.

WALK TO SCHOOL WEDNESDAY!
*Next Walk to School: December 15th*
How fun has this been? I love being in the front of the school with Ms. Tessa and Ms. Susan. We love dancing to the music and handing out stickers. If you live too far to walk, we encourage you to park in the surrounding neighborhood and walk in from there. Two student council representatives will be manning each gate to pass out stickers to those students who participated in Walk to School Wednesday. We look forward to seeing our Bears put on their walking shoes and help to create a cleaner environment.
Here is a great video for more information on PBIS.
Did you know we have 11 areas around our school with specific
expectations on how to be safe, be respectful and be responsible?
Each week I will focus on an area and this week it is the RESTROOM. Take a moment to review these expectations with your student.
