First Bell Rings at 8:35pm
Welcome Back!!!!
Our new school year begins on Thursday, August 22th with the first bell ringing at 8:35pm.
We are so excited about this new school year. There will be a lot happening around Magruder for students and parents alike. Please read your emails, follow us on Facebook and Instagram and, of course, have the Magruder website bookmarked on you phones and computers.
First days are always hectic and parking is hard to find. Here are a few suggestions:
- Walk to school, if at all possible
- Use the lots at Columbia Park and walk to campus from there
- Arrive early
For parents driving please read the arrival drop off guideline below.
Always drop off on the school side of the street.
There is a lot of traffic and students should not be running across the street when dropped off. The drop off/pickup route is to go down 185th Street to Osage Ave and exit via 184th Place.
Pull as far forward as possible.
During morning drop off and pickup the three gates along Osage Avenue (which runs along the front of the school) are open. Please do not stop by the front gate (near the office) but drive further down towards the other open gates. This helps to avoid traffic backing up.
Do not enter the staff parking lot to drop off or pick up students.
There have been incidents where teachers have been unable to enter their parking area. Also, there is a danger posed to students running/walking in the parking area
Bikes and Skateboards
If your student is riding a bike or skateboard we expect them to follow all the traffic rules and laws.
They must wear a helmet.
Cell Phones
Cell phones are known to be a huge distraction to our learning environment. While we allow cell phones to be brought on campus, it is expected that they are turned off and hidden away during school time. They may be used in emergencies with staff approval. Students can turn on phones after school is over to receive any texts or voice messages you may have sent. If you need to get an urgent message to your student, please contact the office.
We are looking forward to a great 2024-2025 school year!!!!
