📣 IDA BURNS ELEMENTARY PARENTS — WE NEED YOUR HELP! 📣 Parents, we know dismissal can be a busy time, and we truly appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to keep all of our students safe and dismissal running smoothly! ❤️ 🚨 PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT DISMISSAL REMINDERS: ❌ Parents may NOT walk up to pick up a student. All student pickups must follow the designated car-line procedures. 🚫 Jr. High and High School students may NOT walk up to the car line to pick up siblings. If an older sibling is picking up a younger sibling, they must meet them outside the cafeteria and will be picked up from the shuttle parking lot. ➡️ Jr. High and High School students are not permitted to walk up to the car line to pick up students. We need EVERYONE'S help to keep our dismissal process safe, organized, and efficient. Thank you for following these procedures and helping us make dismissal as smooth as possible for everyone! 💙 Thank you, Ida Burns families, for your patience, understanding, and support! 🙏

🐾🚗 Ida Burns Traffic Flow Reminder! 🚗🐾

As we get ready for a great school year, please take a moment to review our traffic flow map so everyone knows where to enter, where to line up, and how to safely navigate dismissal and arrival.

A few important reminders: no parking or drop-off is allowed on Poplar Avenue, and please follow the designated traffic directions and arrows. Following these procedures will help keep our Little Cats, families, and staff safe and help traffic move as smoothly as possible! 💙❤️

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and for helping us make Ida Burns the BEST place to be! 🐾✨

Traffic Flow

Welcome Back!

As students and staff return to school for another year, let’s all do our part in keeping safety at the forefront of our minds at school, at home, and on the road.

·       Watch for school buses.  Slow down and never pass a stopped school bus with its lights flashing.

·       Drive safely in school zones.  Slow down, pay attention, and watch carefully for students, parents, crossing guards, and school staff.

·       Stay alert.  It only takes a few seconds of distraction to change a life forever.

·       School safety starts when we leave our homes. It doesn’t just depend on what happens inside our school buildings.

Let’s work together to ensure every student and staff member arrives at school and returns home Safe and Sound.

The volume of traffic will increase this week. Please be patient as we work together getting back in the routine of drop off and pick up.

Welcome back, Wampus Cats!
