Safety Reminders
- If you drop your child off at Cerny Park in the morning, please remind your child to walk on the sidewalk. Parents have reported concerns about students walking behind the cars.
- If your child is a car rider, please do not get out of the car and walk up to get your child. We can't have children walking between the cars to get to a parked cars.
- If you are picking up your child by car... please be patient- with the other cars, the staff who are working, and the students. It's not a fast process, and our top priority is safety of students. We are moving over a hundred cars through in a 15 min time window. Thanks for your help!
