MORNING DROP OFF PROCEDURES

I want to thank each of my parents who have cooperated with the guidelines of our “Paws Line.”   It is so important that each of us at school and home work together to ensure the safety of each of our students.  As we enter our second semester of school, I continue to consider the safety of our students and how to continue making our school the safest in our county.  Our cafeteria is at the far end of our building, and there is a lot of movement in the halls before school.  Our teachers on bus duty must manage all hallways and ensure rooms and bathrooms are safe for our students at all times.   If your child does not ride the bus, we encourage parents to use the car rider line each morning.  Our SRO officer and/or another adult open the car doors and make sure your child is safely in the building.  If you must bring your child in, you will be asked to give that last hug at the “Paws Line” and from 7:00 – 8:00 an adult will be there to relay any messages or concerns to your child’s teacher. If your child does not get to school before 8:05 they are considered tardy and an adult must walk them into the office.  We will continue to  allow adults to eat lunch with their children if their name is on the emergency card in the office and encourage our parents to attend all school functions as well as parent/teacher conferences. Please call us anytime if you have a concern about your child.   

Please help us to make this a positive experience at Pigeon Forge Primary.  We have our students’ safety and education in mind.

Thank you for your support,

Dr. Cottongim
