Tallman Road:

Concerns have been shared regarding Tallman Road and the congestion. Tallman Road is governed by the Town of Parker, and thus, we have no control over that area. For those who are waiting to pick up in the line coming from the East and are turning right, you should be lining up in the marked area to turn into the school. For those who are coming from the West to turn left into the parking lot, you will need to wait until it is safe to do so. We understand that this is frustrating, but it is also dangerous to move into the lane for oncoming traffic in order to turn. 

We have met with the Town of Parker and DCSD several times to problem solve this situation. However, there is little that either side can do with the parameters and space available. We encourage those families who are parking and waiting for their students to do so in the gravel lot, parking lot, or Clubhouse parking lot (across the street). Thank you for your understanding and patience! 

News from the Art Room:

Congratulations to Ian Brinker; our February artist of the month, on his pattern mitten project.  Click here to check it out on our art department web page.

The Google Doodle contest is back and this year's theme is, "I show kindness by..."  Third through fifth grade students are creating their own Google Doodle for the contest and have a chance to win a $5,000 or $30,000 college scholarship, a trip to Google headquarters in California, and their artwork put up on the Google home page for a day.  They could also win a $50,000 technology package for Iron Horse.  Here's the link for more information.

Butter Braid Sales:
Our 5th grade team is selling Butter Braids!  5th grade students are selling them to offset their personal costs for Outdoor Ed. Any additional Butter Braids sold will go towards scholarships for students that are unable to afford to attend. If you would like to purchase Butter Braids to support this cause, please see the office staff. Butter Braids will be sold from February 6th through February 21st.
