Uniform tips of the week
Telra is a no-phones / no-smartwatch school. Students may not carry any communications or recording devices at school. Please leave these at home
Pants should be dress-style. No sweatpants, athletic wear, yoga pants, or similar.
No hoodies. We know you love your Telra hoodies. They make for great outside wear, but inside the building, they need to come off (even on spirit days)
Carline safety & efficiency reminders
Thank you for helping us keep our carline safe and running smoothly! To ensure a safe and efficient drop-off and pick-up experience for everyone, we kindly ask for your support with the following:
🌅 Morning Drop-Off
Please stay in your lane and avoid switching lanes (unless directed by a staff member) —this helps keep traffic moving safely.
If you are in lane 2 or 3, wait for a staff member to approach or motion to your car before letting your child exit the car. We’re here to help make the process safe!
Please avoid maneuvering around cones. They are there to keep everyone safe and to keep things flowing smoothly.
🌇 Afternoon Pick-Up
Have your Student Tag visible so we can quickly match students with their cars.
To keep things orderly, we kindly ask that you remain in your vehicle and use the carline instead of parking and walking to the doors.
📵 A Friendly Reminder for Both Times
For everyone’s safety, please avoid using your phone or navigation devices while in the carline. Staying focused helps keep things running smoothly for all!
Pull in close to the car ahead of you. It compacts the line and allows us to move more cars off the road
Avoid blocking the exit driveways of the pavilion lot and the exit from the St. Francis lot onto the side road between the churches.
We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation—it makes a big difference in creating a safe and stress-free process for all of our families. Thank you for your partnership!
