Obviously, I share these concerns. The positive news is that several parents have volunteered to participate in helping to create a solution. This is to ask if you are interested in partnering with me and several other parents, to devise and implement a more permanent plan. If so, please contact Betsy, and she will organize a meeting date and time for this work very soon!

Parent Volunteer Opportunity
Recently, a number of parents have approached me with concerns about our street-side safety -- more specifically: with concerns that without a thoughtful intervention to a continuing problem, somebody may be hurt.

Sneak Peek Tomorrow!
I want to wish everyone a Happy Labor Day weekend!
As well, here are a few details about the Sneak Peek event and the first day of school.
First, parking. A map is posted here, also on this blog. It shows areas that are available for parking, and highlights those which are not legal parking areas. (The East side of Breyman, for instance, is not parking-friendly; we have gained street parking in areas that had previously been reserved for buses, along Military and Breyman.) For big evening events, like the Sneak Peek, parking in the drop-off areas is allowed, so long as we leave the fire-lane ramp access open -- it will be marked with cones. Traffic will flow on school mornings and afternoons, with pass-through still possible even with drop-off and pick-up happening in the South lot. The North lot, meanwhile, is for buses. Vehicles may turn left or right into and when exiting both lots.
On the morning of the 7th we will gather outside first thing in the morning. At 8:35 we will begin to line up by grade level in the covered play area. Teachers will come to escort their classes into the building for the first time; parents assisting with supplies and materials are welcome to follow, and then come outside for the PTC coffee.
Please make sure to bring a can of food (per person) as admittance to the Sneak Peek on Monday afternoon at 4:00. Collected donations will be given to the Oregon Food Bank -- this is very much in the spirit of the year the faculty has planned for 2010-20111. It is critically important to us that, at the time we recognize just how blessed we are with this wonderful new facility, we also remember to give back to the larger community. I am especially proud that this particular initiative was the brainchild of a student -- Derek Song.
Finally, in terms of coming events, the PTC back-to-School Coffee is at 8:30 on Tuesday; and the Fall Sports Night is Tuesday at 7:00 in the Commons.
