Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally
September 5th at 6pm at Woodforest Stadium
this years theme is
Red Wagon Homecoming
Parade
We are off to a great start. We are so proud of our students. Everyone seems
to have a great attitude and are enjoying school. Their efforts to embrace the
changes we have made for safety and learning are awesome. I have heard noth-
ing but wonderful things from our teachers and look forward to the best year yet.
Car-line: I appreciate everyone's efforts to cooperate with the car line this year. Overall it
has gone very well. A few things to point out and ask for your help. First, the more that
cars stay in the right hand lane the better. If you can drop off your student prior to the
drop off zone but at the curb in front of the school (not by the CP bushes), that is helpful
and then you can move to the thru-traffic lane and move on. Please try not to pass cars in
the thru-traffic lane and pull in front of cars in the drop-off zone or after the drop off
zone. This action is what slows drop-off down for everyone. We are currently unloading
10 cars in the drop off zone every 10-20 seconds. That is a lot of cars quickly if everyone is
doing what is asked. Please remember that the more prepared your student is to exit the
car, the better for everyone. Last, remember, the more that try to by-pass the system, the
more delays we have for everyone.
Please know that the only day we had big delays was due to the light in the morning. We
have reached our to TxDOT for help. Hopefully Friday will be better.
Traffic Safety Issue: As you enter our campus, please make sure that you are obeying
traffic laws. There is only 1 turn lane onto our campus from FM 242 (College Park
Drive). We have had some issues with cars turning off of FM 242 from the right lane and
not using the turn lane onto our campus. This has almost caused several accidents. Also,
please use the entrance off of FM 242 to access Chick-fil-A.
Thank you for your cooperation.
