Day 1 Dropoff Procedures

/in /by

Dragon Families, we look forward to seeing you on Monday for the first day of school. Below is information regarding our pick up and drop off procedures along with an attached map.

Daily Pickup/Drop Off Procedure:
We ask that in the mornings, parents please do not drive into the school’s parking lot to drop your students off. It is a safety and traffic concern. Instead, please approach the school heading east along Cutler and turn right onto Dragon Lane, then enter the roundabout. That is where pickup and dropoff will take place. When departing, follow Dragon Lane back out to Cutler and turn right to leave. Please do not attempt to turn LEFT from Cutler into Dragon Lane. Refer to the attached map.

Day 1 Drop Off:
On the first day of school, elementary students can bring any school supplies to their designated Educational Assistant who will be standing outside near the entrance to the school with grade level carts. From there, elementary students will be directed to their appropriate waiting area to be escorted into the building. Parents are not permitted to enter the building at this time, so please make sure to say your farewells outside. Middle school students will enter as normal and go directly to their homeroom. If they do not know where their homeroom is, they are to enter the front entrance and we will direct them to the proper location to start the day.

Breakfast will be served in the cafeteria starting on the first day. Any student who wants a breakfast may enter the building starting at 7:45 where they will be directed to the cafeteria to eat.

Before and Aftercare will begin on Monday. Before Care starts at 6:30 AM.

We hope you all have a wonderful last weekend of summer, it’s going to be a great school year!

21st Century Ice Cream Social and New Year Information

/in /by

Good afternoon Dragon Families. Hope you see you tomorrow for the Ice Cream Social from 4-6 pm. Otherwise we look forward to seeing you Monday, August 18th 8:00 am for the new school year. Please review below information regarding buses, before and after care and OSI fees. You can also talk to your homeroom teacher tomorrow. Also, our uniform store, Ad-It-Up, will be here during the Ice Cream Social to sell uniforms if you still need shirt!

Westside Buses
Our two westside bus routes will be running starting on Monday! Route information and rules can be found on our website, here: http://21stcenturypa.com/wp/?page_id=5458. If your student will be riding the bus either in the morning or afternoon, or both, please fill out the Application Form here: https://forms.gle/gyGnxnmTeWDRP6B79. Even if you filled this form out last year, please fill it out again this year so we have an accurate account of how many students will be on each bus.

Before & After Care
Before Care takes place every morning starting at 6:30am. Students may be signed in to the program in the front lobby, and then will head to the cafeteria until school officially starts for the day. After Care runs from the end of the school day until 5:30pm every day. Students sign themselves into the program immediately after dismissal, and may be picked up by signing them out in the front lobby. Please keep in mind that any student not picked up within 15 minutes of dismissal will be automatically signed into the After Care program. The cost for either of these programs is $5 per usage. This means if your students attends both Before and After Care on a day, it would be a $10 total charge for that day. This can be paid to the Before/After Care staff member in the front lobby by cash or check, or if you prefer to pay via credit card you will receive a bill to your email at the end of each month with that month’s balance owed.

OSI Fees
In an effort to promote more regular participation by students on OSIs and reduce the stress of repeated charges throughout the year, this year we will be implementing a new method of OSI fee collection. All students will be charged a $20 fee per academic quarter, which will go to cover OSI expenses (including transportation and venue costs). This means you will not be charged for any individual OSI, and all students are expected to attend every OSI. These experiences are a core component of our school’s charter, and it is imperative that all students attend each of them throughout the year. We thank our parents for their cooperation in making sure these experiences continue to enhance the learning of our students.

Thank you and have a good day!
