2011-12 Kinder Registration Information

*****************************

You may now pay for school lunches online. Click  here for directions.

*****************************

Reminder:

* Drop off and pick up students in our parent lot (corner of Bay Shore and Elk Hills). Our staff parking lot is a bus zone before and after school.

* We have no supervision on campus before 7:30, so please do not drop them off before then.

* Remind children to cross in the crosswalks and to obey safety patrol team members.

Thanks! This will help our Marengo Ranch students stay safe.

*****************************

Please remember to sign-in at the office when you visit your children or help in the classrooms. It protects all our children.

*****************************

As you know traffic starts backing up at 2:15.  So, how can you help?  Walk, or ride bikes if you live close enough; carpool; or determine an alternate meeting point (can older students meet at the corner of Bay Shore and Lake Canyon?).

*****************************

Just a friendly reminder that we cannot allow students to cross the street outside a crosswalk. The police consider this jaywalking and have told us they will issue citations. In addition it is quite dangerous, particularly at dismissal time.  Please help us by following these guidelines:

Encourage your child to always cross in the crosswalk.

If you are parked across the street, do not call your child to you. If you insist on having your child cross at that location, you must leave your vehicle and escort your child across the street.

Try an alternate pick up spot. In addition to the corner of Bayshore and Elk Hills there is a crosswalk at Bayshore and Bay Landing.

School Personnel are present to enforce safety rules.  We know dismissal time can be frustrating.  Please work with us to make it better.

*****************************

Do you plan on going on a fieldtrip with your student's?  If so, don't forget to fill out our Volunteer Sheet.  District policy requires that all volunteers must register with the school office.  The name of each volunteer is then checked against the "Megan's Law" database under the supervision of the Galt Police Department in the interest of the absolute safety of all students.  Make sure you have done this before your trip to avoid any problems.  Forms may be picked up in the office and returned to your child's teacher.

Each month we recognize students who attended school on time, everyday, all day of the month.  We know that good attendance is closely linked to good academic performance, so it’s our pleasure to provide a “spirit tag” to students who make good attendance a priority.  This year students can earn a spirit tag for every month…we’re encouraging students to “collect all 11!”
