Seven Bridges Vision and Mission

We are a community of explorers. In our school, every student thinks hard every day. Seven Bridges students practice creativity and are committed to learning and growth. They are good writers and speakers who express themselves well in many media. They persevere when things get tough, learning that struggle is part of the journey. They are open-minded and at ease collaborating and cooperating with others. They respect each other and show empathy, volunteering to be leaders when they can be and followers when they should be. Students are aware that their actions make a difference in the Seven Bridges community and beyond.

Now That The Paving Project Is Completed...

With our parking lot completed, it is now easier to enter and exit our school. To keep traffic moving in and out of 7B, especially on Mondays and Wednesdays, it is always best to utilize the late buses that are available for all students.

If you must pick up your child, try to carpool and remember to follow these instructions:

Cars enter the SB circle and stay to the right. Buses will pass on the left and enter the inner loop. The inner loop is closed to cars at 2:00pm. Cars should line-up on the right side of the circle, next to the SB garden. If this line is full, continue around the campus (as if you were at the airport) and drive to the back of the line. Please do not stop at the top of the driveway. If you should find that you are waiting more that a few minutes, reenter the flow of traffic and continue around the campus until you see your student in the area near the SB Garden. This continued flow will allow other cars access to the school. Another option is to park in the parking lot, get out of your car and pick up students at the main entrance. Once students have entered the car, please exit promptly. The inner loop will re-open for traffic at 3:45. The map below illustrates the plan. The blue line is for cars. The red line is for buses.

For the safety of everyone, it is essential that the entry to the school remain open.

Thanks for your help in keeping our children safe and our traffic moving!
