 Spring break is just around the corner and we wanted to remind everyone to keep reading as we are closing in on our school goal of 1,000,000 minutes read.

 The March form is on e-backpack and if your reader turns in the form for March, he/she will earn another “ball” to be used during our end of year Dunk-Tank-Party!   The kids are really getting excited for the big day.

Dear Ames Parents,

Below you will find a list of safety reminders from the Riverside Police Department & District 96. In addition, to the safety reminders listed below, I want to remind you that texting while driving is prohibited by State Law. In an effort to keep our Ames School students safe, please refrain from using your cell phone when driving in the Ames School drop off zone. Thank you for your cooperation with these safety precautions.

Respectfully,

Colleen Lieggi

Riverside Police Department and District 96
Important Safety Reminders

It is great time to revisit traffic and parking safety procedures and expectations. In past years we’ve witnessed some potentially dangerous incidents in the drop-off/pick-up areas. All of these incidents can be avoided by all drivers following these traffic/parking expectations:

* Please use extreme caution while in the presence of children in the area of the school.
* Please drive slowly and refrain from cell phone use while driving through the drop-off/pick-up zones.
* Please DO NOT leave your vehicle while in the drop-off/pick-up zones.
* If there is a need to go into the school or visit with anyone inside the school, please park your vehicle legally and walk to meet your child.
* Do not ask/expect your child to walk in front of another car to get into your car. This is extremely dangerous.
* Please help the school staff and po lice officers by being extra diligent in following these procedures.

Student safety is our utmost goal at the Riverside Police Department.

Thank you in advance for partnering with us to make sure that all District 96 staff, students, and parents are safe!

Dear Ames Parents,
