Dear Long Lake Families,
This is Mrs. Burwinkel with your weekly update.
PICK UP/DROP OFF REMINDERS: As snow in our lot adds an extra layer of challenge at drop off and pick up, I am sending reminders regarding procedures. Safety is important for our students and families, and we ask for your continued cooperation in adhering to the guidelines we’ve established. With over 400 students at Long Lake Elementary, it’s inevitable that the parking lot will be congested at dismissal time. We have two dismissal times for students: Preschool dismisses at 3:50 p.m. and K-5th Grades dismiss at 4:02 p.m. To allow our 50 preschool families to dismiss earlier, we ask those families to move to the front of the carline between 3:30 and 3:50 p.m. For our K-5th grade parents, we encourage you to consider arriving a few minutes later than 4:00. By 4:08 p.m. daily, the parking lot clears out and spots are open in our lot. Our staff remain outside with students until everyone is safely picked up. This small adjustment can make a significant difference in easing congestion and helping things move more smoothly.
EARLY RELEASE: This Thursday, January 9 is an Early Release Day for TCAPS. Long Lake Elementary dismisses at 2:02 p.m.
