School News
Parent Conferences: If you schedule a parent conference after school, would you please schedule those for 4:30 or after. Parents arriving for conferences are causing issues trying to "go around" the car rider line (which is pretty impossible) so we end up with traffic jams and angry parents. Thanks so much for waiting until car rider is complete for future after school meetings with parents.
Parking: Our staff keeps on growing! If there are no parking spots left in the back parking lot, please don't park along the curbs - this is causing issues for our daycare and busses in the afternoon. So... if there are no spaces left in the back... move on up to the front! Remember, when parking in the front parking lot, that we leave the first section open for visitors and park on the side facing Tuckerton in order to leave all the best spots for our guests. Thank you so much for helping with parking!
