Drive With Care
Barney Ford Families,
We need your help to keep our students and DPS community safe. As our lives become more and more demanding, it can be easy to get distracted or lose focus when dropping off and picking up students from school. From construction zones and changing traffic patterns to sudden stops with traffic, we must remain alert, especially in school zones. This past week, several incidents have taken place throughout DPS in the morning hours, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of our students. To ensure all of our students, staff and community remain as safe as possible near our schools, please ensure you are driving with the utmost care and attention, especially in school zones. Our children are counting on us to look out for them.
As a reminder:
Slow down - follow the designated speed limits in school zones.
Stay alert - watch for students in crosswalks, at drop-offs and pick-ups, and pay attention to students who may unexpectedly cross the street.
Avoid distractions - put phones down and focus on your surroundings.
Be patient - a few extra minutes can make the difference in keeping everyone safe.
Thank you for ensuring our students and all of us remain safe throughout the day. Please continue to drive safely and responsibly.
As we transition near the holiday season, we want to take a moment to remind you of the importance of consistent school attendance. Regular attendance not only builds students’ ability to follow daily routines but also is important to their personal, social, academic and emotional development.
With the upcoming holiday breaks, we encourage you to plan family activities around our school calendar to ensure your child is present in school all day, every day. Each day of instruction is vital in helping our students meet their educational goals and maintain their learning progress. Make-up work does not fully help students recover missed instruction, and one student’s absence affects classmates’ progress due to the collaborative nature of learning.
Please do your best to plan appointments and travel during the following breaks:
November Break: 24th- 28th
December Break: 22nd- January 2nd
We appreciate your partnership in supporting your child's attendance and look forward to seeing them in school! If you have questions or are experiencing hardships that make your child’s attendance an obstacle, contact our main office at 720-424-7300.
