Dear SPARK families, 

I want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your patience and understanding as we continue to strengthen our arrival and dismissal routines. We know these times of day can sometimes be hectic, and your willingness to work with us, follow procedures, and extend grace as we adjust has not gone unnoticed. Because of your partnership, we are making daily progress toward smoother and more efficient transitions for our students. Your dedication to our school community is a big part of what makes our campus so special. Each morning and afternoon, we see families modeling kindness, patience, and teamwork for our students, whether it’s greeting staff with a smile, ensuring children are ready to go, or simply showing flexibility when things take a little longer than expected. These small moments add up to a culture of care that reflects the values we want our students to carry with them each day. 

As our school grows and improves, your consistency and commitment have helped us build a stronger foundation. Arrival and dismissal may only take a small part of the day, but the way we all come together during these times says a lot about the community we are creating. Together, we are teaching our children what it looks like to be respectful, patient, and supportive of one another. We are truly grateful to be on this journey with you. Thank you for trusting us with your children, for being present and engaged, and for helping us shape a school environment where every child feels safe, valued, and ready to learn. We look forward to continuing to grow alongside you and celebrating the many successes ahead.

 
Sincerely, 
Brian Vannest 
Principal 
YES Prep East End Elementary
