MARINE VETERAN- - Myra Mitchell a veteran of the U.S. MaThe Marines rines, stands for I lymn." at Altamont Elementary. East Elementary is well into the school year and there are still a few pick-u- p and drop-of- f problems at the school. Principal Kevin Heaton thinks it is really just a matter of education and has some directional signs on order which he thinks will help. He also has three teachers at- - Share with Uintah Basin Residents! tending the students as they are picked up after school. One teacher monitors the walking students, an- other directscars, and the third monitors the students who are waiting to be picked up by their rides. One problem occurs when someone who doesn't normally pick up the student such as a grandparent arrives and is not familiar with the pick-u- p routine. Parents are encouraged to let all potential drivers know how the pick-u- p system works. It is possible for the first several cars in the line to load children simultaneously if only the first car will move as far forward as possible. By doing this the drivers can speed up the process considerably. A teacher is usually there to direct cars to the forward position. Also parents should encourage children to load and fasten seat belts quickly. One of the biggest hazards to the db db children and other drivers during morn ing drop-of- f is the drivers who pull in front of the school so that their driver door is next to the curb. The children then disembark into the street and possible traffic. When the child reaches the curb the driver has to cross two busy lanes of traffic in older to leave. Heaton points out that not only is the practice dangerous it is also illegal. Adults need to retrieve their children from the teachers who are monitoring them, rather than motioning to them from a distance. The children often break rank and run, noted Heaton. Heaton believes there is a bigger problem at East Elementary than at some of the other schools because the children are younger, ranging in age from 5 to 9 years old. Also because they are small they are more difficult for drivers to see. db db db Communications and the Christmas Spirit UfJ f Connection would like to invite everyone to participate in sharing Christmas with one family in each of the (JBTAUBET exchanges!
