We sometimes feel like a broken record, but we need to remind you one more time:
Please refrain from talking or texting on your cell phone while you are in the Day School carpool line. For the safety of everyone involved, we need to have your full attention on what you are doing. It is actually the law where many of your older children attend school. There are children and staff members whose safety depends on it! Continued noncompliance with our cell phone policy will result in you losing your carpool privilege.
Also, we want to encourage you to let your child know they are important to you. Being on the phone when they get out of the car to come in and start their day does not send them a comforting message. A "have a great day!" or "I can't wait to hear about your day later!" is worth volumes. Likewise, when we put them back in the car, your undivided attention is the appropriate response to their excited anticipation to see you and tell you about their day.
Your children are only this age once; a cell phone conversation is certainly not worth trading for their feeling of excitement, security, and safety.
