6th Grade Charger Camp

9:00 AM - 12:00 AM

7th / 8th Grade Charger Camp

1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

*Please note – Charger Camp is for students only.  We want to give our staff a chance to personally interact, show them around, and really get to know them before we kick off our first week with all 1275+ Chargers together! I promise to take good care of them!

Arrival/Departure:

• Please drop them off at circle drive (front entrance).  You cannot miss it; the cheerleaders and staff will be ready to welcome them inside. 
• Please pick up your Charger at the FRONT of the school. 

For any student who is NOT able to attend Charger Camp, do not worry: 

• PTO School Store VP’s will email parents and make arrangements to have orders delivered before the first day of school. If parents have questions, they can email schoolstore@pinoakpto.org.
• Pre-ordered school supplies will be placed in your student’s Team Time class, so they have them on the first day of school.  

Charger Camp Traffic & Safety Procedures:

1. Coming from 610, form 1 line on Glenmont. Please turn right into circle drive and stay in the carpool line. Do not drop off or pick up your child(ren) off Glenmont.  This may be a time saver for you, but it is not SAFE. 
2. As you enter circle drive, please pull up as far as you can. When the car ahead of you leaves, please pull up. If your child is not ready, you will be asked to exit the lane and park in the front parking lot. Do not stop your car on the crosswalk. 
3. Place your car in park and allow your child(ren) to exit the vehicle on the curbside.  It is dangerous to exit from the driver's side of the vehicle. 
4. Wait patiently for cars ahead of you to unload. Do not attempt to pass vehicles in the drop-off lane.
5. When exiting the school driveway, you must turn right onto Glenmont.
6. Please NEVER leave your car unattended. If you need to enter the school building, please park your car in the parking spaces in the front lot. 
7. If your child is going to walk or ride his/her bike to Charger Camp, please remind them to be very careful. They must always obey the traffic signals, and always cross with the light and in the crosswalk. They should never have earbuds/ headphones, AirPods, or any Bluetooth device distracting them when walking or riding their bike. They must stay alert and aware of what is happening around them.
8. Students and parents are not allowed to cross in the middle of the street instead of crossing at the crosswalk. 

Reminders:

• Do Not U-turn on Glenmont.
• Do NOT pick-up or drop-off in the teacher/staff parking lot at the back of the school.
• Avenue B is NOT a sanctioned pick-up or drop-off location and do NOT block driveways. Bellaire police will give tickets to those who are parked illegally.
• The HCC Parking Lot is NOT available for parking.  Your car will be towed.

Lastly, we are all responsible for the safety of our students. Treat every student you see as if they were your own. Please try not to be in a hurry during drop-off and pick-up. 

I cannot stress enough that lines will be long so please plan accordingly and have patience, so this remains a positive and fun event for students and staff.
