The Shore Weekly | Week of September 27, 2021
Dear Eastshore Community,
What a turnout at Mooyah on Wednesday! Eastshore has an incredibly supportive community. It was such a pleasure to meet many of you in person. Thank you for supporting the school in our first Eastshore Takes Out Event of the year. And thank you to our fabulous PTA for making this happen for students and families!
Upper Grade Families:
On Music days all students need to use the sidewalk to bring their instrument to the MPR. Walking in the parking lot is not safe and we need parent support in redirecting students. Parents, please avoid telling our staff members that your child is allowed to walk in the parking lot. It is very difficult for our staff to serve your children when you challenge important school safety rules. We are a community that works together to ensure students are safe and learn at school. And all of our students are capable of carrying their instruments along the sidewalk on their own to get to the MPR. Thank you for your partnership.
Sincerely,
Kara Rydman
Principal, Eastshore Elementary School
Irvine Unified School District

IUSD News
The Irvine Police Department, in partnership with IUSD and the PTA, has created a traffic safety video with important tips for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers in and around school zones, driveways and crosswalks. When it comes to the safety of our students on the roadways, we're in this together! Let’s get them to and from school safely.
IPD Traffic Safety Tips:
- Leave early. You won’t have to rush if you plan for a little extra time.
- Obey all traffic, bike and pedestrian laws and signs, especially in school zones.
- When biking or skating wear a proper fitting helmet.
- Drop children off in the designated locations. Do not allow children to get out of the car in the middle of the street.
- Remember that everyone has the same goal of getting their children to school safely, so be patient with other drivers and pedestrians.
- Always obey crossing guards.
- Always use crosswalks.
- Do not engage in distracted driving. This is especially dangerous in school zones.
- IPD traffic officers patrol the streets near schools to ensure safety. Remember to slow down and make complete stops at stop signs.
