DISMISSAL REMINDERS
Here are a few reminders about the dismissal process:
- Students who are walkers will be dismissed at 2:10 while the buses are loading. If you are picking your walker up in a car, please park on Perry Street or the opposite side of Macculloch and use the crossing guard to cross the street.
- Please continue to arrive at school no earlier than 2:15.
- Remember to approach school only from the Miller Road side in order to turn right into the school driveway. It would be helpful if some cars lined up on Miller Road instead of jamming up Macculloch and making it difficult for passing cars. Please be courteous and allow cars from Miller Road to enter into the car line.
- We ask that everyone be mindful of our neighbors and not block driveways and be aware of cars that are not going to Assumption and are trying to pass through.

ASSUMPTION POWER TO THE PARENTS
The Assumption HSA is forming a parents’ forum to empower parents to have the tools to best address current concerns with our children and adolescents. In 2019 we realize how difficult it is to be an effective parent in a world that is full of major risks and bombarded with stress. These forums are open to any parents and caregivers who would like to problem solve and brainstorm with other concerned parents.
Please join us in the Assumption All Purpose Room for our first Assumption Power to the Parents forum on January 15, 2019 at 8:30 am.
If possible please RSVP to Jean Jabbour at Jeanjabbour@verizon.net.
