News from the Office
PARENTS PLEASE FOLLOW ALL POSTED TRAFFIC DIRECTIONS. WE HAVE SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN PARENTS IGNORING THESE RULES AND SEVERAL "NEAR-MISS" COLLISIONS BECAUSE OF THAT. IT IS VERY UNSAFE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND OTHER DRIVERS. WE REALIZE THE NUMBER OF CAR RIDERS HAS INCREASED AND IS CAUSING BACK UPS AND DELAYS; HOWEVER, THE TRAFFIC DIRECTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR EVERYONES' SAFETY. PLEASE NOTE THE DROP OFF LINE IS SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER BETWEEN 7:30-7:45AM AND THE PICK UP LINE IS SIGNIFICANTLY SHORTER BY 3:03PM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN KEEPING EVERYONE SAFE.
Car Rider Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures:
