Greetings Savage Families, At Savage Elementary, we believe in Service Learning projects where students realize that they can make a difference in other people's lives.

It will end the first week of April and we will share out our school total with all of you. Thank you to everyone for your support and have a wonderful weekend.

STUDENT SAFETY As I mentioned yesterday, the student and staff safety is first and foremost for me as a principal. PLEASE DO NOT PARK OR DRIVE IN THE BUS LOT AT ARRIVAL OR DISMISSAL. At the end of the day yesterday, someone ran over our large cone with the "BUSES ONLY" sign so this morning the sign was not there and a car pulled to the end of our bus lot. They were told they could not be in that lot and they needed to stay parked until the buses left. Well, they decided to pull out as one of my staff members was getting the Kindergarten students off a bus and walk toward the sidewalk. Luckily my staff member saw the car that decided to race through the parking lot and was able to make sure the students were safe, but it was very alarming to everyone, children included. There will be a police presence and there will be additional cones blocking off the bus parking lot which is reserved for staff and buses only. Please be respectful to others and look out for our Savage Families safety.

Good Morning Savage Families, Please know that my number one job is to keep all of the students and staff safe here at Savage Elementary. So I am sending just a couple of very important reminders about dropping off students in the morning. 1. Please DO NOT drop students off in the "Thru Traffic Lane" Students should not be walking by themselves between moving cars. 2. DO NOT get out of your car in the "Drop Off Lane." Please have your child ready to get out of the car on the curb side so we can keep traffic moving into the parking lot. 3. Please do not park at the curb in the "Drop Off Lane." I know the traffic can get backed up out onto Savage Road but please pack your patience and let's be sure to model the behavior that we would want our children to see. Thank you for your time and patience.
