Words from the Wizard--Week of August 29
rop off and Dismissal Lines
Great job everyone on navigating drop off and dismissal. We have added a 5th line to the K-1line and that seemed to help keep traffic from backing up too bad on Western Hills Blvd. Gate Entrance
All 4 gates are closed, so if you need entrance between 8:30-2:30 please call the school at 817-600-1735 and just wait patiently until we can open the gate. We want the campus to be secured so thank you for your additional patience. The gate will open to allow people to line up for dismissal starting at 2:30. Please do not arrive prior to that. Late Arrivals and Early Dismissals
Late Arrival
If you arrive after 8:00 please go straight, instead of through the S line, and drop students off at the main building. You will need to sign them in and we will walk them down to class. We are starting to count tardies this week and consistent tardies will lead to your student having to attend Saturday school.
Early Dismissal
Please come directly to the main building so that you can sign your student out via the QR code on the building. Mrs. Donna will give you further instructions at that point. If you need to do an early dismissal please do so by 3:00, unless other arrangements have been made with me. After 3:00 the line starts filling up and it is very difficult to navigate your car and get your student.
Thank You
I want to say thank you to Atwoods for their generous donation of bottled water. Thank you so much and the water is appreciated by students and staff!
PowerSchool--1st -5th grade
Powerschool is open for parents to be able to see grades and attendance. If you have logged in previously, please continue to use your same login information. If you have never logged in passwords and information either came home Friday or will come home Monday. Only 1st-5th graders have PowerSchool logins. Kindergarten is standards-based and they do not have grades in PowerSchool.
