Hello, Borlaug Families,
What fabulous first day at
Borlaug! We had so many excited and
smiling faces both from the children and the staff. Be sure to check out the Borlaug webpage for
some first day photos.
When looking at our end of the
day dismissal procedures, we want to share a few reminders with our
families. Each day this week is a 2:00
dismissal day for all Iowa City schools.
Be sure to review with your child daily how he/she will get home. If there is a change in the regular routine,
please send a note to school for your child’s teacher, or call the Borlaug
office at 688-1155. This keeps us all
well-informed so we know how to help your child at the end of the school day.
All of our students will be escorted to their dismissal destinations each day,
so older students will need to meet up with younger siblings at these
locations, not at classrooms. We have
staff members for every grade level who will walk our bus students, carline
students, walking students, and BASP students to their dismissal destinations.
We want to remind our car line
families to be sure to have a sign in your front window showing the last name
of your children for pick-up. Thanks for
your child’s teacher, your student may have even come home with a carline sign
today. Be sure it is large enough for the carline staff to see easily. This will help us speed up the carline
process.
If parents are meeting students
to walk home, 1st through 6th grade students will meet
parents at the east playground gate, while our kindergarten parents meet at the
front entry. This will elevate the
congestion by the front entry, as we have students being escorted to their
dismissal destinations by staff.
Thank you so much for your
support, as we are off to another great start!
