You will be able to complete the on-line volunteer process during the session and learn about Level 3 Volunteering which requires SCS Board fingerprinting. Even if you’ve been approved for volunteering with SCS before, you must re-apply each year. The process will take only a few minutes for those who have already applied.

Rainy Day and Parking Procedures

SchoolBusKids

Message from Principal Nelson: 

Student health and safety is a priority at Peabody Elementary. During inclement weather or rainy days, the children will wait inside the building.  Parents must come into the school in the foyer and stand in the designated area behind the ropes. Students will not be called from classrooms until 3:10 P.M. during Rainy Day Dismissal.  Remember, early check-out stops at 2:40 P.M. Students will not be called for check out after 2:40 P.M. Important learning takes place at the end of the day.  Please allow your child to stay at school until 3:15 P.M. each day!

Car rides in grades KK, 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be dismissed through the front entrance of the school.  Pre-K and 5 grade car riders will be dismissed downstairs through the east side door.  Daycare riders and walkers in grades KK-5 will be dismissed through the west door.

We ask all parents to enter through the front (Grades 1-4) or the east side (Grades Pre-k and 5) of the building to pick up the children during inclement weather.  Pre-K parents must come into the Pre-K classroom to sign-out students.

Please do not park or leave your car unattended in front door of the school from 7:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M.  Unfortunately, the police will issue a ticket.  Please read and follow the Parking Sign guidelines around the school. When parking, please do not block our neighbors’ driveways.

Parents are NOT ALLOWED to park in the Faculty Parking Lot or drop-off/pick-up students on the lot at any time due to student safety and limited parking for teachers. Cars found on the Faculty Parking Lot will be asked to move immediately.

Parents, please do not park on the side of Tanglewood Street adjacent to the school on any given day.  The police will ticket vehicles parked there. Tanglewood Street adjacent to the school is RESERVED FOR DAYCARE AND SCHOOL BUSES ONLY!!! Thank you for helping to keep our students safe!

Peabody Welcome Back Squad!

Screen Shot 2018-07-31 at 8.34.07 PM

We are so happy to have students and parents back for the 2018-2019 school year. We want to make sure our students feel our excitement! Peabody is looking for parent volunteers to join the Welcome Back Squad and greet our students on the first day of school from 7:45 – 8:15am in front of the school. Parents will line the sidewalks to welcome students with a big smile and wave!

If you are interested, please come to the school Monday, August 6th at 7:40am. We will meet in the main office. If your child is with you, she can hang out in the cafeteria (teachers will be supervising) and then walk through the Welcome Back Squad with the other kids.

Grandparents, aunts, cousins, friends – feel free to join and let’s get this school year off to an exciting start for our Eagles.

Bring your biggest smiles and best cheers!
