MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL:

Welcome back to those of you returning to Sargent for another exciting year and welcome to those of you, who are experiencing Sargent Elementary School for the first time. I am very excited to be sharing this new school year with all of you.

Meet the Teachers Night is scheduled for September 16th at 7pm. This is an opportunity for you to meet your child’s classroom teacher, visit your child’s classroom and  tour the building. We will also be running our  book fair during this event. The book fair will begin at 6:45pm. Further information regarding this event will be sent home.

In this newsletter, I have included  all of the information you will need to help make the opening day at Sargent School a success. Please check our website often for updates throughout the school year.

I extend my best wishes to all of you for a happy and successful school year!

Tarkan T. Ceng, Principal

 

New Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Sargent School Student Drop off / Pickup  Location Has Changed

We are making some major changes for the opening of school and ask for your cooperation in making the changes work. 

We are switching the Bus loop and student drop off areas.  The student drop off and pick up area will be in the rear of Sargent School using the access road off of 9D (Wolcott Avenue).  For valet service, parents can drive around the loop using the lane closest to the sidewalk and have your child exit your vehicle from the passenger side only.  If a parent chooses to park, use the loop’s lane closest to the circle and proceed “slowly” to the newly reconstructed parking lot, which will have approximately 50 dedicated spots for parents. The buses will travel up Sargent Avenue and use the reconstructed upper level loop. For the residents on Sargent Ave please note there are less bus runs than a few years back (no mid-day runs) and we are taking measures to keep traffic to a minimum by making these changes.

Parents will not have access to the parking lot area off Sargent Avenue.  For safety issues, there will be NO drop off point for students on the upper level .  This area will be for Buses and Staff parking only.

Walkers should use either the sidewalk along the lower access road (off of Wolcott Ave) or the newly constructed pedestrian walkway  connecting Sargent Avenue (across from Sycamore Drive) to Sargent School. Your cooperation in making these changes successful is requested and will be greatly appreciated.

***Pre-K and Kindergarten: Please be reminded of the modified schedule for the beginning of the school year.***
