Construction Update
Plans are taking shape
for crews to begin construction the first week of March on our front
entrance. This will certainly be an
exciting and important change for Heritage, but there will be some procedures
that will be affected by the construction process. In addition to losing access to our front
entrance, we will more than likely lose our sidewalk out front and a lane of
traffic. This is going to cause us to
make some changes in our drop off and pick up procedures. Many Olathe Schools have gone to a number
system, especially those that have begun the construction process. What these schools have done is assign each
family a number that corresponds with each student. When parents pull up the number is radioed
inside to alert teachers which student/students need to go outside to a
designated spot to be picked up. I am in
the process of talking with the schools that have implemented this procedure to
get a better understanding of how they have made it work. This will also be a topic of discussion during
tonight’s Site Council meeting and next Tuesday night’s PTO meeting. On January 22nd, our Building
Leadership Team will be meeting to develop a plan to best meet our needs. Once we have developed a plan, we will
communicate this to our community. If you
have input or suggestions, please shoot me an email prior to the 22nd
at smcfarlandht@olatheschools.org.
Speaking of input, I
would like to gain some information from our community members on how I am
doing as your child’s principal. If you
could take a moment to fill out a brief survey, the information you provide
will help me to perform my job better. The following is a link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ScottMcFarland2013-14ParentSurvey
The survey will close on
January 28th. Thanks so much
for your time and perspective with this.
