Morning Carloop drop-off UPDATES
The changes for morning drop-off have been good so far. Thank you for all of your help in making this change a smooth one. Thank you to those of you who are doing what we are asking for in regards to morning drop-off. This allows for a smoother drop-off in the mornings.
Parents, We need your help when dropping off:
- Please have your child exit the car along the sidewalk where there are cones. The cones mark the "drop-off" zone.
- Please tell your child to quickly get out of the car when you are stopped.
- Please do not allow your child to sit there and hope that if they sit long enough then they can wait to get closer to the gym doors for drop-off. The walk is not far to the gym doors. It's half the distance it was before this change.
- Please use the entire length of the sidewalk for kids to exit vehicles.
- I repeat, the entire sidewalk in the back of the school is the "DROP-OFF ZONE" so kids need to get out of their cars.
