Dear Socrum Families,

          I hope each one of you had a great holiday season and were able to spend some valuable time with your family. Here we are in 2012 and getting ready for the long stretch that will take us to FCAT testing time. There is still a great deal to accomplish during these next several weeks and it is more important than ever that we stay focused and maintain a learning mentality. With hard work and focus we will maintain the excellence of the “A” we received this year.

          With the new year we do have some changes that will be occurring, however. First, we had two of our long time employees, first grade teacher Nancy Taylor and secretary Mary Ann Reis, retiring. We want to wish both of these great ladies the best in their future endeavors. Secondly, we will again try to help the afternoon pick-up to be quicker and safer. We are asking Headstart parents to come in the front gate on the right side of the drive. This will be marked as a right turn only lane which will allow Headstart parents to enter the gated circular area for pick-up. The left lane at the entrance will be designated as a through  lane which will then divide into two lanes at the very north part of the parking area for afternoon pick-up. At the end of the two lanes we would ask that each lane take turns to enter the one lane for pick-up. This should help keep the gate clear for Headstart pick-up. If this sounds confusing, we will have someone at each area to help direct traffic for a few days until we all get used to the new traffic pattern.  I would also ask that we maintain one lane in the pick-up area and that appropriate speed be maintained while on school property. Remember, this is all done for the safety of our children.  This new procedure will begin on Monday 1/9/2012.

Thanks for your understanding and patience as we continue to make Socrum Elementary a school of excellence.

Mr. Jack Cline
