PRINCIPAL’S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Dear Petrides Families,
Here is to another week at Panther Nation!!
Morning Arrival
As the colder weather continues, we would like to remind families to utilize our Stop and Drop service efficiently to help keep traffic flowing and ensure a safe and timely drop-off experience for everyone. Our morning staff does their best to deal with inclement weather and to keep traffic flowing but they do need occasional breaks just to warm up.
To support this effort, we kindly ask that:
1. Families are timely in using the Stop and Drop area to avoid backups.
2. Students are ready to exit the vehicle promptly when it’s your turn to drop off.
3. Parents remain in their vehicles to ensure the process moves smoothly and efficiently.
Your cooperation helps ensure a safe and warm start to the day for all students. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to make drop-offs quick and convenient during the colder months.
