->PLEASE READ BELOW TO ACQUAINT YOURSELF WITH DROP OFF & PICKUP PROCEDURES AROUND THE SCHOOL August 5, 2010 I hope you all had a safe and restful summer break. Although it has been a hot summer I am sure it has been filled with many wonderful memories. Believe it or not the school year is about to start. We will be having an Open House/Back to School gathering on September 2, 2010. The doors will open at 3:30 pm and close at 5:30 pm. We hope you can stop by and say hello as we get ready to kick off the new school year. There will be a number of changes taking place this school year. It is with both pride and sadness that I relay the following news. Mr. Rojas has moved on to become the Assistant Principal at Marquette School. I am proud of his advancement but sad for our loss of a great teacher and important member of our faculty. We all wish him well in his new position. He will be missed here at Durkin Park. At this time we are planning on having all day kindergarten and we will continue with our pre-K program for the 2010-2011 school year. We will have classroom and teacher assignments available at the Open House. Please join us and say hello to old friends and welcome to new families. Hope to see you then.

Atentamente, @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ *We will be closing off Kolin after school as we do every year. Please park and wait for your children on 84th or 85th Street. Do not double park as that will present a traffic hazard to the students. All students should cross the street at the corner with a patrol guard on duty. In the morning we will be using Kolin as a one way street going from south to north. Please enter Kolin on 85th and drop off your child and proceed out of Kolin on 84th Street. Do not park on Kolin in the morning so that the street will be free of cars and people can drop their children off without going around parked cars. *Como cada año, cerraremos la calle Kolin a la hora de la salida. Por favor estacione su carro y espere a sus niños en las calles 84 y 85. No se estacione en doble fila pues eso representa un gran peligro para los estudiantes. Todos los alumnos deben cruzar la calle en la esquina con la ayuda de un miembro de la patrulla de padres y estudiantes. Por las mañanas usaremos la calle Kolin en un solo sentido, en dirección al norte. Por favor, entre a la calle Kolin por la 85 para dejar a sus niños y salga de ella por la calle 84. Por favor, no se estacione en la Kolin en la mañana para que la calle se mantenga libre de carros y la gente pueda dejar a sus niños sin tener que rodear carros estacionados. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Dear Parent/Guardian, The Parent Advisory Committee and the safety Patrol Staff have made some changes to the drop off procedures. Since the weather has gotten colder, students won’t be lining up outside. The new procedure is as follows: 1 – All students should be dropped off in the front of the school at the main entrance on the East side of Kolin. They should enter through the main entrance and then proceed to their designated areas. Hall monitors will help them if they should need guidance on where they should report. 2 – Enter Kolin at 85th Street and drive North towards 84th Street. Please do not drive South when dropping off students. We are trying to create a one way traffic flow to move things along more quickly. Students should exit the vehicle on the East curb side of Kolin. 3 - All vehicles should remain in a single file line when stopping to let children out. Please do not go around the cars in front of you. If everyone stops for only a moment and then leaves the traffic should move quickly. 4 – Leave room for the school bus that brings students to school every morning. If you see the bus coming do not stop in that space. 5 – Make sure your child has safely left the vehicle before you pull away from the curb. There have been some near accidents when a child hasn’t stepped away from the car or has dropped something on the ground. 6 – The parking restrictions remain the same. From 8:30 – 9:00 there is no parking on 84th and Kolin and on the North side of 85th Street, East of Kolin. These restrictions help to maintain the traffic flow in the mornings. Only residents of Kolin are allowed to park on this block. Teachers and staff have special permits for parking. Do not park in the teacher’s parking lot. We appreciate everyone who is respectful and cooperative with the patrol guards and the parent volunteers. Our goal is to keep all our children safe as they come to school. We must continue to work together to reach this goal. The PAC is still in need of more volunteers to patrol around the mobile classrooms in the rear of the school. It only takes twenty minutes before or after school to walk around the buildings making sure our students are safe. If you are interested in helping, please leave your name and phone number in the office.
Sincerely, The Parent Advisory

* Estimado Padre o Tutor, El Comité Asesor de Padres (PAC) y los miembros de la Patrulla De Seguridad han hecho algunos cambios a los procedimientos de la hora de entrada. Debido a que la temperatura se ha puesto muy fría, los estudiantes no se formaran afuera. El nuevo procedimiento es el siguiente: 1 - Todos los estudiantes deben
ser dejados en el frente de la escuela en la entrada principal por el lado
este de la Calle Kolin. Deberán entrar por la entrada principal y proceder
a sus áreas designadas. Los monitores de los pasillos les ayudarán si
necesitan orientación.
Atentamente,
