For the next two weeks we will be focusing on Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have – you. It is the process of continuously seeking to improve and renew the four areas of your life: heart, mind, body, and spirit. Dr. Stephen R. Covey said, “We must never be too busy sawing that we forget to sharpen the saw.”

At home, spend some time talking ways you can intentionally sharpen the saw. Here are some examples:

• Heart: make social and meaningful connections with others
• Mind: read, write, study, learn new things
• Body: exercise, eat well, rest
• Spirit: spend time in nature, service, inspirational literature, music, art

Kinder Loop Parking Lot

 

The safety of our students and families during drop-off and pick-up is extremely important to us. In order to ensure the safety of all in our kinder loop parking lot, it is critical that drop off and pick up procedures are followed by all.

As you know, there is limited parking and drop-off space at the curb in the kinder parking lot. However, it is important that cars are not parked and left unattended at any of the red curbs in the parking lot. Not only does parking in the red zones congest the parking lot and impede the flow of traffic, it presents a safety hazard in the case of an emergency. A great alternative for parking is the parking lot on the other side of the park, which has plenty of parking spaces available at dismissal time. The short walk could provide you with a nice opportunity to talk to your child about his/her day.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during our drop off and dismissal time.  We appreciate you modeling appropriate and courteous behavior for our Voyagers at all times. Thank you.

Leader in Me

This week we will continue to focus on Habit 6: Synergize. Last week students learned that synergy requires us to have an open mind, cooperate with others, and work as a team. It is a process that enables us to generate ideas and/or accomplish results that we would not be able to on our own. Across campus, students worked on a variety of activities which required them to synergize with others and enabled see first hand how “two heads are better than one.”

At home this week spend some time talking to your child about synergy. Think about ways that you can synergize at home as a family.

Welcome Back to School!

Happy New Year! We would like to welcome you back to Clear View for the start of a new quarter, calendar year, and decade. There is a lot to look forward to this quarter with events including Jump Rope for Heart, the speech contest, 6th grade camp, Read Across America, and the start of the soccer season for our coed and jr. coed soccer teams.

Please remember that school resumes on Tuesday, January 14 at 8:45 AM. Tuesday is a minimum day, so dismissal will be at 2:07 PM.

For the next two weeks we will be focusing on Habit 6: Synergize. Synergy is the idea that two minds are better than one. According to Dr. Stephen Covey, “Synergy is better than my way or your way. It’s our way.” Synergy requires us to have an open mind, cooperate with others, and work as a team. It is a process that enables us to generate ideas and/or accomplish results that we would not be able to on our own.

At home this week spend some time talking to your child about synergy. Think about ways that you can synergize at home as a family.

Traffic/Parking

The safety of our students and families during drop-off and pick-up is extremely important to us. In order to ensure the safety of all pedestrians before and after school, it is vital that the following drop off and pick up procedures are followed by all:

If you use any of our drop-off and pick up zones – the sidewalk adjacent to the park, the loop in front of the school, and/or the loop near the kinder area – you need to stay in your car and continue to pull forward at all times. Please do not leave your vehicle unattended in any of these areas. Additionally, please stay clear of all red zones in front of and near the school; not only does stopping to drop off or pick up students in these zones impede the flow of traffic and present safety concerns, stopping in these areas can result in being ticketed. Finally, some cars have been using the staff parking lot as a drop-off, waiting, or parking area. Please remember that the staff parking lot is reserved for staff members and should only be accessed by non-staff members for the use of marked handicap parking spaces or for before or after school YMCA drop-off/pick up.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during our drop off and dismissal time.  We appreciate you modeling appropriate and courteous behavior for our Voyagers at all times. Thank you.
