Remember some of our key points that we would like to share with our parents.  Our students here at Driver Elementary are our TOP PRIORITY.  Keeping our students safe is  key and protecting their instructional time to allow them the best educational experience possible is our goal.  

• We ask for parents to communicate with their child’s teachers on a regular basis but please respect instructional time.  Making an appointment with your child’s teacher is the best way to keep communication lines open.  This will also allow no interruption of instructional time for your child.  Classroom visitations are discouraged unless you have an appointment.  We are STRIVING for SUCCESS on the SOL TESTS! 

• SAFETY!  SAFETY!  SAFETY!   Parents should ALWAYS check-in at the Main Office. All visitors will receive an orange visitor’s pass after signing in and verification with their child’s teacher of their appointment.  

•  INSTRUCTION!  INSTRUCTION!  INSTRUCTION!    Early pickups and late arrivals does take away from your child’s instruction along with their fellow classmates. Remember we are STRIVING for SUCCESS on the SOL TESTS!

• COMUNICATION!  COMMUNICATION!  COMMUNICATION! Free text-messaging and email notification system (NIXLE) Suffolk Public School offers a communication service which allows important valuable community information to be sent directly to residents.  Register at https://nixle.com/register.  Messages may include school weather closings and delays, transportation updates and other relevant safety and community event information.
