	After School Play	April 10, 2017 - 9:37am	Please help us in reminding your students that children are not permitted to play on the playground or playstructure after school unless they are accompanied by a parent. In addition parents that are staying with your students after school please make sure to be sitting/standing near them on the playground or playstructure. We have noticed several students playing on one playground while their parents are on another. As safety is a top priority for us, we wanted to take a moment to remind you to please help us by following the above policy.
	Parking Lot Pick Up	April 10, 2017 - 9:31am	During pick up time, after school in the parking lot, you may have noticed new signs that designate pick up times along the yellow curb. If you have a student that gets picked up at 3:00 dismissal, please do not park along the curb during the 2:50 dismissal. We have found that cars parked on the curb early for the 3:00 dismissal are making it diffucult for the traffic to continously flow for the 2:50 pick up. We sincerely appreciate your support in helping with the flow of traffic and most importantly the safety of our students and families in the parking lot of Blackford.
