Family Picnic on the Lawn - Thursday, October 2Please see the information below regarding our second annual Family Picnic on the Eader School Field. • Parking will be significantly impacted, and families should plan on parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Please allow yourself ample time to find parking and walk to the location where you will meet your child. Arriving early is recommended, as we want to avoid any worries for students if families are running late. • Those planning to order take-out from local restaurants should keep in mind that this may also be impacted, so please allow extra time for preparation or consider ordering early. • Families will enter campus through the Eader Office and meet their child on the blacktop before walking to their designated area on the school field. • All families should bring beach chairs or blankets for comfortable seating during the picnic. • Parents with multiple children in the same lunch period are welcome to bring one child to the other’s location on the field so they can enjoy the picnic together. Please note that students will not be dismissed from class to join a sibling in a different lunch period. • Families are welcome to stay until the end of their child's lunch period. • All guests must exit through Gate 5 only. • Finally, for on-campus activities that welcome parents, the expectation is that families enjoy the event and students remain in class until the final bell. Important instruction continues until the end of the day, and if early checkouts begin to impact student learning, we will need to reconsider offering these experiences in the future. Thank you for your cooperation and support in helping us continue to provide these engaging activities for our community. Important: If you are unable to attend, please ensure your child is aware.

Parking Lot Safety & Efficiency
With only a single lane entering and exiting our school parking lot, please keep in mind that one car has the ability to severely impact and hold up the entire line. To help keep traffic moving and ensure safety:
• Please have your child prepared to leave the vehicle safely and quickly on the curbside (school side).
• Stay in your car at all times.
• Pull up as far as you can, even past the gate, so the maximum number of cars can unload along the curb.
• Do not pull in front of other cars if there is a hold up.
• Safety is always our top priority—thank you for your support.
Additional reminders:
• Please drive carefully and observe all traffic safety signs and speed limits around the school.
• When leaving the parking lot, right turns only are permitted.
• Do not park or leave your vehicle in any area marked with a red curb.
• Children should always enter and exit vehicles from the curbside only.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and supporting the smooth flow of traffic in our Eader community.
