Starting Monday, Sept. 23rd Edna Maguire School
is providing an early drop off option to alleviate some of the 8:20 traffic
that occurs each morning.
We now have two playground supervisors that are going to be
placed on Alto Field (Upper Campus) and the courtyard blacktop (Lower Campus) area
from 8:00-8:30 a.m.
·
Grades 3-5 are suggested to start dropping off
at 8:05 a.m.
·
Grades K-2 are suggested to start dropping off
at 8:15 a.m.
We are splitting the times in order to stagger the traffic
if possible. We do realize that some
families carpool and have siblings in the various grades. The above times are suggested times and if
you need to utilize one or the other, please do.
The goal is to stagger the traffic and provide supervision
for the students who can be dropped off early.
Once our playground is open, we will provide supervision in that area
for the morning as well.
We continue to work with Safe Routes to School with their “Green Ways to School” program
that includes, Walk and Roll Incentives and School Pool which connects families
to share rides. www.saferoutestoschools.org In addition we are working with Cole Transportation Alternatives www.coletransalt.com , California Highway
Patrol, City of Mill Valley Police and our contracted crossing guards.
A BIG THANK YOU to our Walk
and Roll to School parent volunteers, Mara Connor, Ryan Erving, and the Jeremy
Rivitch Family for coordinating our first, monthly Walk and Roll to School
Campaign!
All of these efforts help our families, neighbors and
students get to and from school safely!
