Arrival and Departure procedures

September 4, 2019 by Sandra Merrow

River Oaks Elementary has always pledged to create a safe and stimulating environment for all students. The beginning of the school year is an exciting time. We love meeting our new families and sharing stories with our returning families. The first week of school it is important to visit your child’s classroom and to establish a rapport with his or her teacher. We allow each parent to enter without signing in to visit your child’s classroom. Staring on September 3rd 2019 we ask that parents no longer enter our classrooms upon arrival. This allows student to build confidence with the routines and procedures of the classroom and to work on building independent skills. This also is for the safety and security of all of our students. Any adult/parent entering the building should enter through door one, sign in at the office and receive a visitor pass. The teachers will greet the students at their assigned door and parents we would like you to say good bye to your child at the door.

Each grade level receives 38 minutes for lunch. The lunch time is scheduled and split between eating and recess. As a reminder parents should not be in the lunch room. If you need your child during lunch time they will be called to the office. All lunches being brought to school need to be dropped off at the office. The office will make sure the lunch gets to the correct student. Students should either get lunch from school or bring it with them to school.

I want to thank all for helping make our school a safe and secure place where learning at high levels each day can happen.

Respectfully,

Mr. Joe Martin

River Oaks Principal
