Good afternoon Houghtaling Families,
Our contractor was successful in locating the break in the water main, patched the pipe, and we once again have water in the building. This means we are all set to resume school tomorrow, Thursday January 14th, as a normal school day. No changes need to be made for traffic and pedestrians, and the vehicle pull through will function as normal.
We look forward to bringing back the students and getting back to learning!
Best,
Michael Cron

Good Evening Houghtaling Families,
This afternoon our school experienced an unexpected water line break. This leaves the building with no access to water and no functioning restrooms. Because of this, we have no choice but to cancel school for tomorrow, Wednesday January 13th.
Our maintenance department is already hard at work patching in a temporary solution. Hopefully by Thursday morning we will be able to resume school. We will make an announcement Wednesday either way.
A big thank you to KPU Water Division, for their rapid response and assistance in identifying the location of the break. And also thank you to our skilled school district maintenance department in finding creative solutions to bring our school back online as soon as possible.
Best,
Michael Cron

Good Evening Families of Houghtaling Scholars,
As we return to school and re-establish school routines, I wanted to take a moment to notify families of a change to our traffic procedures and remind everyone of the existing pedestrian safety plans we have in place.
Moving forward, I ask that families no longer drive on the access roads at the rear of Houghtaling to drop off and pick up students.
A major goal of our traffic flow pattern is to eliminate the reversing of vehicles in areas where children may be walking. Our younger students can be difficult to spot when backing up and do not always move predictably, which increases the risk. Not driving on the access road eliminates one of the few areas this could still potentially occur.
See the diagram below for the vehicle flow map. If using the pull-through lane, in the morning please only stop your vehicle in the right-hand lane to allow others to depart after a drop-off. In the afternoon, please wait in your vehicle in the right lane if early. This will allow students being picked up for appointments to avoid having the vehicle trapped. After 2:30, continue lining up in both lanes as you await students. Our pick-up line runs efficiently and the line is cleared within five minutes of student release. This is very quickly compared to elementary schools in some other communities!
At times, Houghtaling staff will be present in orange vests. Please comply with their instructions if directed to move your vehicle.
Student arrival begins at 8:40. Do not drop off your children before this time as our facility is closed to students until that time.
Your compliance with our procedures will make the school a safer place for our students, and I appreciate your willingness to do your part.
To Your Child’s Success!
