Everything we wish
someone had told us

A plain-English guide to the stuff that isn't in the welcome packet: which entrance to use, how carline actually works, what to label, and how to stop drowning in school email. Written by parents who learned it the slow way.

Written by another Perimeter family For families new to 4th Grade
New family? Start with these three

1. Figure out your entrance and exit. It saves you fifteen minutes every morning. 2. Get a white carline placard before day one. 3. Work through the supply checklist and label everything. The rest you can learn as you go. And put the first-day dates in your calendar now.

A note on what this is

This isn't a school website and nothing here is official. It's the stuff other parents told us over the last few years, written down so you don't have to learn it by getting it wrong first.

If something here conflicts with what the school sends you, believe the school. Dates move, policies change, and this page won't always keep up. But for the practical, nobody-writes-this-down details (which turn to take, where to stand, what to bring), this should save you a semester of figuring it out.
