I think of the end of the school year like a vintage automobile. The year has been well taken care of, yet we still have miles to go. So, I want to send the message to all that these last few weeks of the year are critical for a smooth running year. The playground rules still apply. If traveling by bicycle, skateboard, or scooter, you must walk them across the playground until you reach the sidewalks.
Children are to go home after school.
If they wish to return to play, they should check in with parents and then return. This is the time of the year when we need to make an extra effort to be respectful to our friends. The academic year builds to this point where students can now begin applying their knowledge. The big events of learning occur now. The parking lot still needs your vigilance.
