Green Park Bond Update

Summer 2019 Bond Projects                                2018-2019 Green Park Parent Update Letter   November 6, 2018 Bond Update – Delivering on Our Promise Dear Parents and Guardians, I have exciting news to share as we prepare for several facility improvement projects at our school over the summer thanks to our community’s overwhelming support. On November 6, 2018, nearly three out of every four voters said yes to a $65.6M replacement bond measure to renovate Walla Walla High School, Pioneer Middle School, and Lincoln High School. In addition, funds were also allocated to specific district-wide safety and infrastructure improvements. These school renovation projects are also eligible for an estimated $52.6M in State Match funds, helping maintain one of the region’s lowest school bond rates. This summer nearly $7 million in projects will be completed at schools across the district. These summer investments prioritize safety and security, including select roofing replacements and energy efficiency upgrades. Overseen by our 11-member community Bond Oversight Committee, our district remains committed to accountability, transparency, and delivering on our promises made to our voters. Below is an outline of what we can expect to see at our school this summer:   Safety and Security School safety experts, including our local officials, performed significant campus reviews prior to the bond measure to inform our proposed improvements. In addition, significant parent input was received that also highlighted the importance for enhanced campus security. As identified in the bond program, the following enhancements will be addressed this summer: A camera and intercom panel will be mounted at our school’s main entrance. Once the school day begins, doors will be locked and visitors will be allowed access by school staff. Improved cameras/surveillance to replace and enhance outdated systems. Additional fencing is being added to better secure our school grounds. Additional directional and informational signage will be added to help direct visitors. We appreciate your patience as we complete these critical infrastructure and safety projects. There may be times this summer when the school is closed due to construction. We will keep you informed throughout the entire process as we look forward to an improved school facility this fall. Please reach out to me directly if you have any feedback, concerns or ideas to share. We value your partnership in this process. Sincerely, Rick Kline, Principal Actualización del bono del 6 de noviembre de 2018 - Cumpliendo nuestra promesa Estimados padres y tutores, Tengo emocionantes noticias para compartir mientras nos preparamos para varios proyectos de mejora de instalaciones en nuestra escuela durante el verano gracias al apoyo de nuestra comunidad. El 6 de noviembre de 2018, casi tres de cada cuatro votantes dijeron que sí a una medida de bono de reemplazo de $ 65.6M para renovar Walla Walla High School, Pioneer Middle School y Lincoln High School. Además, los fondos también se asignaron a mejoras específicas de seguridad e infraestructura en todo el distrito. Estos proyectos de renovación de escuelas también son elegibles para un estimado de $ 52.6M en fondos de State Match, ayudando a mantener una de las tasas de bonos escolares más bajas de la región. Este verano, se completarán casi $7 millones en proyectos en las escuelas de todo el distrito. Estas inversiones de verano priorizan la seguridad y la protección, incluidos los reemplazos de techos seleccionados y las actualizaciones de eficiencia energética. Supervisado por nuestro comité de supervisión de bonos de la comunidad de 11 miembros, nuestro distrito sigue comprometido con la responsabilidad, la transparencia y el cumplimiento de las promesas hechas a nuestros votantes. A continuación, se muestra un resumen de lo que podemos esperar ver en nuestra escuela este verano: Seguridad y protección Los expertos en seguridad escolar, incluidos nuestros funcionarios locales, realizaron importantes revisiones de la escuela antes de la medida de bonos para informar nuestras mejoras propuestas. Además, se recibieron comentarios importantes de los padres que también resaltaron la importancia de mejorar la seguridad de la escuela. Como se identificó en el programa de bonos, las siguientes mejoras se abordarán este verano: Se montará una cámara y un panel de intercomunicación en la entrada principal de nuestra escuela. Una vez que comienza el día escolar, las puertas estarán cerradas y el personal de la escuela permitirá el acceso a los visitantes. Cámaras / vigilancia mejoradas para reemplazar y mejorar los sistemas obsoletos. Se están agregando cercas adicionales para asegurar mejor los terrenos de nuestra escuela. Se agregarán señales direccionales e informativas adicionales para ayudar a los visitantes directos. Agradecemos su paciencia mientras completamos estos proyectos de infraestructura y seguridad críticos. Puede haber ocasiones este verano cuando la escuela está cerrada debido a la construcción. Lo mantendremos informado a lo largo de todo el proceso mientras esperamos una instalación escolar mejorada este otoño. Comuníquese conmigo directamente si tiene comentarios, inquietudes o ideas para compartir. Valoramos su colaboración en este proceso.    Sinceramente, Rick Kline, Director

Congratulations Miles Club!

Thanks to the support of PTA parent volunteers, 39 Green Park students were able to run 10 miles or more this year and attend the Miles Club celebration!   Kudos to all runners, especially six students logging 20+ miles and eight students logging over 15 miles.   Way to move!  

Green Lane Parent Pick Up

When picking up your child at school, usually the best option is to use the child pick up zone on Green Lane in front of the school's main entry doors.  Teachers accompany non-busing students to this area to meet their rides.  When using the child pick up zone, stay in your car...your child will come to you. Keep moving your vehicle forward as space becomes available in front of you. Be mindful of children loading special needs buses on Green Lane. Stay to the right. Do not block traffic by stopping or parking in the middle or left edge of Green Lane. If you need to come into the school for any reason, please park in the parking lot.  Never leave your car parked and unattended on Green Lane.   More about school zone safety
