Dear Herrera Families,
Thank you for your support this week! We are off to a wonderful start to the new school year, and I couldn't be more proud of our students, staff and families.
As we continue settling into our routines, please be patient and courteous during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up. I understand that these times can sometimes be frustrating, but when everyone follows our traffic procedures and shows kindness to one another, dismissal typically takes only about 10 minutes.
A few important reminders:
During morning drop-off in the side loop, please do not park or leave your vehicle. Students should exit on the side closest to the sidewalk. The drop-off loop is designed to keep traffic flowing, so lease help by moving through as efficiently as possible.
Parents with a valid 2026-2027 school year placard may use the front loop for drop off.
For families picking up students in the 4th and 5th grade area, please use extra caution when walking to meet your child. Stay on the side of the street and do not walk through moving traffic, as this creates a serious safety hazard.
If you are traveling on Coates Street, please be considerate of vehicles exiting the school. When possible, allow drivers to safely pull out into traffic. A little patience and courtesy go a long way in keeping traffic flowing and ensuring the safety of our students and families.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping us keep our students safe!

The bus just arrived! Bus riders will be a little late.
We've had a fabulous first day!
Pre-K and Kinder Families: You may pick up in the front loop, but please do not park. We will have one lane of traffic open, and will bring your child to you! It may be a little slow at first, but it will get better as time goes on.
Thank you for your support with this to ensure dismissal is safe for our littlest Polar Bears.
