Parents at Pickup Time<br />
We realize it is a bit of a jam picking up kids at <strong>Morey</strong> in the afternoon. With everyone’s<br />
cooperation, we can keep students safe and ease the traffic congestion on Emerson, 14 th<br />
Avenue and in the east parking lot. Please be patient as you pull up to pick up your kids.<br />
We are getting reports of double parking, honking and parents exchanging frustrated<br />
words with each other. Remember, your kids are watching you and model your reactions<br />
and behavior! Please be aware of where you are stopping to not block traffic or cars<br />
parked in the lot. It may be easier to park up the street and meet your child at the corner.<br />
We appreciate your patience and cooperation.<br />
Helpers at Recess<br />
Parents have been coming at recess time to lend a hand and give extra coverage so we<br />
can open the fields for students to play soccer and football. If you have time to come<br />
volunteer for any of the recess periods, contact Jen Heth at<br />
Jennifer_Heth@dpsk<strong>12</strong>.org for details and the schedule. There is an online signup<br />
for 6 th grade recess volunteers at<br />
