Hello Falconridge Families,
As the colder months approach, we want to remind everyone about the importance of dressing appropriately for winter weather. Proper clothing helps ensure comfort and safety, whether you're walking to school or enjoying outdoor activities during the school day.
Here are a few tips to stay warm and safe:
- Layer Up – Wear multiple layers to help trap warmth. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, followed by insulating layers, and top it off with a waterproof, windproof outer layer like a winter coat.
- Warm Accessories – Don’t forget your hat, gloves, scarf, and warm socks. These accessories are key to keeping extremities warm and protected from the cold.
- Footwear – Make sure to wear sturdy, waterproof boots with good traction to prevent slipping on icy sidewalks.
- Stay Dry – Wet clothing can quickly lead to discomfort and even hypothermia in extreme cold. Be sure to wear waterproof outerwear, especially on rainy or snowy days.
- Pack Extra – Pack extra socks and pants in case these get wet, if appropriate.
By dressing appropriately for the winter weather, we can help ensure that everyone stays healthy, safe, and ready to learn. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we look forward to a safe and enjoyable winter season.
Please read on for important information and upcoming dates.

Parking and Safe Driving
We appreciate everyone’s efforts to keep our school community safe during drop-off and pick-up times. Please take note of the following important reminders:
- Street Parking: When parking along the street, ensure you are following all posted signs and leaving space for traffic to flow safely.
- Apartment Complex Parking: The parking stalls in the apartment complex off the back alley opposite the school are reserved for residents only. It is essential that residents can access their spots and come and go freely. Please do not use these spaces for school pickup or drop-off.
- No U-Turns: For everyone’s safety, please avoid making U-turns during busy drop-off and pickup times. These maneuvers create dangerous situations for students and other drivers. Instead, use designated routes and drive with caution.
- Staff Parking Lot: The staff parking lot is reserved for school staff. Using this lot for student pickup or drop-off creates safety concerns for students walking through the area. Please help us keep this space clear.
Thank you for your cooperation in making our school a safe and respectful environment for all.
