Good morning Gardendale Families,

Following a recent Safety Audit by the Edgewood ISD Police Department, we have received recommendations to further strengthen the safety measures on our campus. We will continue to use the Raptor System for checking IDs and issuing visitor badges, as we have done throughout this year. In addition, we kindly ask that all visitor IDs be left at the Main Office during your visit. This helps us ensure that we are aware of all adults present on campus. Before leaving, visitors may return their badges and retrieve their IDs at the Main Office.

As an additional safety precaution, families arriving after the 7:30 a.m. tardy bell are asked to wait outside the Main Doors and check in their child using the iPad station, assisted by a staff member. Our Main Office staff will be available to escort your child to their classroom.

Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and ongoing support as we work together to keep the safety of our students and community as our top priority.

Buenos días, familias de Gardendale:

Después de una reciente Auditoría de Seguridad realizada por el Departamento de Policía de Edgewood ISD, hemos recibido recomendaciones para fortalecer aún más las medidas de seguridad en nuestro plantel. Continuaremos utilizando el sistema Raptor para verificar identificaciones y emitir gafetes de visitante, como lo hemos hecho durante este año. Además, les pedimos amablemente que dejen su identificación en la Oficina Principal durante su visita. Esto nos ayuda a asegurar que sepamos qué adultos se encuentran en la escuela. Antes de salir, los visitantes pueden devolver su gafete y recoger su identificación en la Oficina Principal.

Como precaución adicional, las familias que lleguen después de la campana de tardanza a las 7:30 a.m. deberán esperar afuera de las Puertas Principales y registrar a su hijo(a) usando la tableta iPad, con la asistencia de un miembro del personal. Nuestro personal de la Oficina Principal estará disponible para acompañar a su hijo(a) a su salón de clases.

Agradecemos su comprensión, cooperación y continuo apoyo mientras trabajamos juntos para mantener la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes y comunidad como nuestra máxima prioridad.

Dear Families,

We’re delighted to welcome you back as our “A Walk in My Shoes” initiative returns this March and will continue through April 3rd with engaging Small Group activities.

To help us plan, please use the SignUp Genius link that your child’s teacher will provide. Participation is limited to two adults per day per classroom. We kindly ask that younger children not attend, so you can fully enjoy this meaningful time with your student.

When you arrive on your scheduled date, please check in at the Main Office with a valid ID. You’ll receive a printed Raptor Badge, which will allow you to visit your child’s classroom.

We look forward to welcoming you back and sharing this meaningful experience together!

Queridas familias:

Nos complace darles la bienvenida de nuevo, ya que nuestra iniciativa “A Walk in My Shoes” regresa este marzo y continuará hasta el 3 de abril con actividades atractivas en grupos pequeños.

Para ayudarnos con la planificación, por favor utilicen el enlace de SignUp Genius que les proporcionará la maestra de su hijo(a). La participación está limitada a dos adultos por día y por salón. Les pedimos amablemente que los niños más pequeños no asistan, para que puedan disfrutar plenamente de este momento especial con su estudiante.

Al llegar en la fecha programada, recuerden registrarse en la Oficina Principal con una identificación válida. Recibirán una credencial impresa de Raptor que les permitirá visitar el salón de su hijo(a).

¡Esperamos darles la bienvenida y compartir juntos esta experiencia tan significativa!
