CNG Primary School CCN: #2 - AUGUST 21, 2023

Car Placards

Starting Tuesday, August 22nd (tomorrow), if your child leaves school by car through the main gate, kindly ensure that the car placard is prominently displayed on the car's windshield. This placard was already sent to you via email from the PS office. It's important to emphasize that this placard DOES NOT replace your child's permanent gate pass. To ensure the safety, efficiency, and smoothness of the dismissal process, we kindly request that both the placard and your child's permanent gate pass be present in the car.

Friendship Challenge

We will begin our Friendship challenge once again. We are encouraging students to invite other PS students who they still do not know well. They can take pictures and share them with their teachers, so we can share them in the Theater during our Award's Assemblies. 

Primary School Guidelines for Class Celebrations:

As part of CNG’s Code of Honor, it is important that students learn to:

  1) Display environmental consciousness (by not wasting food, recycling, re-utilization and re-purposing of materials) and demonstrate concern and respect for school security and the safety of all students. (Community Welfare)

2) Engage in democratic and non-exclusionary behavior toward other students and their families (Respect)

The following guidelines are meant to help parents foster these Code of Honor values when participating in Primary School activities at CNG. 

Primary School Open House 

Dear PS Parents,

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Open House event, where you'll have the opportunity to experience firsthand the vibrant learning environment your children are a part of. Join us for a day of exploration, engagement, and excitement! NO SCHOOL for students.

Date: Thursday, August 31st 

PARENTS ON CAMPUS

Due to the heavy flow of people coming in and out of school during drop off and dismissal, parents are allowed to come on campus from 8:30- 1:30pm. 

INGRESS/EGRESS (ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL) BASICS

PS students will be dropped off/picked up at the Main Gate. PS staff members are ready to greet your child and walk them to their classrooms. 

Drop off will begin at 6:45am. There will be no Primary School supervision for gate drop-off before 6:45am, so please make sure not to come before that time. Please make sure to send your child with a name tag and their classroom teacher the first weeks of school. 

If you are permanently picking up your child, please make sure to bring the permanent gate pass and place the printed placard in your car windshield. (Office staff emailed it to you). 

GATE DISMISSAL TIMES

 Kinder 4 : 2:00 pm

 Kinder 5 : 2:05 pm

 First Grade: 2:15 pm

 Second Grade : 2:15 pm

 If your children have older siblings, please come at your oldest child's dismissal time. 

PERMANENT GATE PASS

If your child is going to be picked up at the gate every day, please come by the Primary Office to pick up a "PERMANENT GATE PASS" for which the office needs a 2.5 x 3 color picture of your child. Again, please ensure that your child is picked up promptly when the school day or activity ends. You will need both the placard in your windshield and the permanent gate pass with your child's picture. 

Gate Passes - Please make sure to let your child's teacher and the office  ps_attendance@cng.edu or ssmit@cng.edu know before 11:00 AM if you will be picking up your child at school when they normally ride the bus. 

STUDENTS WHO RIDE THE BUS

Transportation – Any questions regarding transportation of your child to CNG should be addressed in the transportation office.  Phone 212-3511 ext. 120. transportation@cng.edu. 

Students who ride the bus will also be accompanied by adults to their classroom. Please make sure to send your child with a name tag, bus number and classroom teacher the first week of school. 

No bus passes will be issued in August. Bus passes will begin in September. 

SCHOOL UNIFORM

PS students are allowed to wear the PE uniform every day,.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Please send the school supplies with your child throughout this week. Don't send everything at the same time, so they don't have to carry so much weight. Please make sure to label all supplies.

SNACK AND LUNCHES

For a snack your child should bring healthy food. As a general rule, please send a lunch box for his/her snack that includes a beverage, and a couple of food items. Please avoid sending packaged junk foods with high sugar content.

If you enroll your child in cafeteria food, hot lunch will be provided for them. Otherwise, please make sure to include lunch in their lunch boxes. 

WATER BOTTLES

Please make sure to send a water bottle with your child. They will be able to refill it during the day.
