From the desk of the Principal: Your Weekly Buddy Message

Date: 3/2/12

Hello, this is Tammy Jahad, Principal of Baucom Elementary with your buddy message.

I hope that everyone had a great week. Students and staff participated in the state wide tornado drill on Wednesday. I am so proud of the safe and organized behavior exhibited by all.

As the weather gets warmer and more families are choosing to walk to school, as well as the recent accident that occurred at dismissal, I want to remind all families to only use the crosswalk where the crossing guard monitors. That is located between the bus loop and main entrance to the school. It is also important for you to share this information with anyone who is bringing or picking up your student from school. The area is currently in the process of being assessed as we work with the Town of Apex transportation engineers, Apex Police Department and WCPSS Risk Management. I will keep you informed as we move through the process. For the safety of everyone involved, please follow the safety procedures in place for carpool. As so many of you expressed, we are so thankful that the students involved last week did not sustain more serious injuries. Please help us keep our students safe!
