💙 CLE Q&A: Little Cats, Big Answers! 🐾
We're wrapping up another common question to help our CLE families feel confident before the first day of school!
The parking lot is confusing for me. I'm not sure where I need to turn. Can you help? 🚗
Check out the graphic below for a helpful map of our traffic flow! Carolyn Lewis Elementary has two driveway entrances. The north entrance (parking lot side) is the recommended entrance for families, while the south entrance (playground side) is reserved for buses, daycare vans, and vehicles with special permission.
If you're ever unsure, please use the north entrance. Following our traffic pattern helps keep arrival and dismissal safe and efficient for everyone.
Thank you for helping us take care of our Little Cats—we can't wait to welcome you to CLE! 💙

💙 CLE Q&A: Little Cats, Big Answers! 🐾
We're continuing our Q&A series by answering another question our families ask each year!
What is the best way to communicate with my child's teacher? 📱
CPSD uses a communication app that allows families to message teachers directly and receive important school notifications. Your child's teacher will provide the information you need to get connected.
You can also communicate with your child's teacher by email or by calling the school office and leaving a message. Teachers will return calls as soon as they are able during their planning time or breaks.
We value the partnership between home and school and look forward to working together for a successful year! 💙

We're answering another common question to help our CLE families get ready for a great school year!
What is the best way for my child to find an item that is lost? 🎒
Our Lost & Found is located in the cafeteria, and the best way to make sure lost items find their way back home is to label your child's belongings with their first and last name.
Items with names can often be returned quickly, while unlabeled items are placed in Lost & Found until they're claimed.
A few minutes spent labeling backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles, jackets, and other belongings can save a lot of time later! 💙

We're answering another common question as we prepare for the start of the school year!
Today's question: Why is the drop-off and pick-up line so long? 🚗🚌
During the first few weeks of school, many students who normally ride the bus are picked up by car, and students are still learning dismissal routines. This can make our drop-off and pick-up lines a little longer than usual.
Please know that our staff is working hard to move students safely and efficiently each day. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and partnership as we help our Little Cats learn their routines and start the year strong! 💙

We're continuing our Q&A series with another helpful reminder for our CLE families!
Next question: What time does the drop-off line close? 🚗
Check out the graphic below for the answer! The gate for the drive-through drop-off line closes at 7:50 a.m. If you arrive after the gate has closed, you'll need to park and walk your child into the building.
This procedure is in place to help keep all of our Little Cats safe, as staff members are no longer on duty in the parking lot after the drop-off line closes.
Thank you for helping us make morning arrival safe and efficient for everyone! 💙
