Thank you parents for all your patience and support as we continue to implement the Pick-up and Drop-off procedures. Remember our number one priority is your child’s safety at all times. Your continued patience and support with following these procedures are greatly appreciated!
As a reminder:
Parents, during the drive-thru drop off STAY IN YOUR VEHICLE.
The front turn around is for DRIVE-THRU Drop OFF ONLY! . It is intended as a safe and brief exit from the vehicle. In an effort to ensure student safety, we request your daily cooperation. If you have additional school related business, kindly park your car at the Community Center parking lot.
When DROPPING OFF your child, drive up all the way to the front of the school entrance to assist with the safe and smooth flow of traffic.
To ease heavy traffic during dismissal,we strongly encourage you to park at the Community Center’s parking lot to ensure student safety.
AFTER-SCHOOL - For your child's safety, please do not ask your child to cross the street while you are stuck in traffic, idling in your car. Kindly arrange with your child to meet you in the Community Center Parking.
