Survey

The City of Saratoga is seeking your help to encourage the parents of students at your school to participate in this short 3-minute survey by December 21, 2018. In April 2018, the City of Saratoga joined the Safe Routes to School effort to increase the number of students using active transportation methods, such as walking and bicycling, and to promote healthy and active lifestyles. This survey will help the City understand the current modes of travel used by students and identify options to improve access for active transportation methods. 

The survey can be found online at www.saratoga.ca.us/student. You are welcome to use the attached flyer and/or the brief announcement included below:

Please participate in this short 3-minute survey by December 21 to help the City of Saratoga find new ways to encourage children to use active transportation methods, like walking or biking, to get to and from school.

From the principal

Welcome back! I hope that you all had a fun and festive Thanksgiving and were able to spend time with your family and friends. Before we know it, the holiday break will be here! Keep in mind that children are expected to be in school, on time, every day. Please do your best to ensure that students’ schedules remain intact as much as possible and your children try to make sure that they are getting enough sleep and eating healthy food so that they can continue to learn at high levels at school.

 
We are excited about our school play this year!  Eighty-one children have been practicing since September to present a production of Lion King, Jr. It is a very difficult show and the students have been doing a great job learning songs in another language and portraying their characters.  I think that it is going to be an awesome production!
 
The casts will be doing two short school assemblies next Wednesday, December 5th during which they will sing a few songs from the show. The Desert cast will perform at 9:30 and the Savannah cast will perform at 10:30. Feel free to join us for these assemblies.
 
Regular performances of Lion King Jr.  will be on Thursday night, December 6th at 6:00 p.m. with the Desert cast and Friday night, December 7th with the Savannah cast at 6:00 p.m. On Saturday, December 8th, the Savannah cast will perform at 11:00 a.m. and the Desert cast will perform at 2:00 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at https://marshalllanelionking.eventbright.com  Hope to see you there!

Post-it Note with "Important Notice" written on it

This morning, an unfortunate incident occurred on Marilyn Lane involving one of our students. We have the following safety procedures in place to avoid problems such as these. Please review our policy below.

At Marshall Lane, we have specific procedures to keep students safe during drop off and pick up times. Parents of TK and Kindergarten students are required to park and walk their child to their classroom. For drop off and pick up, the only place where this may take place is in the identified drop off/pick up zones.Children must exit or enter the vehicle on the school side, not on the side adjacent to the traffic lanes. Children and adultsmust use the crosswalks.

It is not safe to drop children off on the streets surrounding the school. Please exercise extreme caution when dropping your child/ren off or picking them up in the appropriate locations and while driving on the streets around our school. Our main goal is “Safety First”. Please help us to achieve this goal every day.
