| REMINDER: Carpool Etiquette |

A friendly reminder that ESD operates in the middle of a residential neighborhood, and it is important to drive, park, and walk with this in mind. Please:
- Put phones down while in the carpool line or driving near campus.
- Do not U-turn on Merrell or Midway Roads.
- Do not cut through neighborhood streets.
- Only queue for carpool on Midway and Merrell Roads; please do not queue on side streets (e.g., Gooding Drive, etc.).
- Do not block neighborhood streets while in the carpool line.
- Always follow the direction of the DPD and security officers.
|
| REMINDER: Parent Badges |
|
As a reminder, all parents should wear their parent badges while on campus.

Pondering Purpose and Impact
In chapel last week, Chaplain Toni challenged lower school students and faculty to act on their appreciation by noticing the strengths of others. This small yet significant act provides encouragement and has the potential impact to inspire them to use their strengths to help others.
Pause and Ponder: Acting on Your Appreciation
- For younger students: Choose one of your friends and then think about what they are good at doing. How can you share this information with them? How can you help them use their strength in new ways?
- For older children, teenagers, and adults: Think about someone in your life with a strength that might get overlooked. How might you highlight this strength and encourage them to use this strength to help others?
To volunteer, please visit esdallas.org/parents.
