SPECIAL "SAFETY" REMINDER

All students should be dropped off at the front of the school in the loop designated for drop off (staff members are there to receive students). Parents who are dropping off students in the morning, please be patient with the process and refrain from pulling around other cars that are dropping off students. This is critical as we work to keep all of our Comet students and families safe.


Afternoon: PLEASE BE REMINDED TO USE THE CROSS WALK WHEN CROSSING TO/FROM THE PARKING LOT WHEN PICKING UP YOUR CHILD IN THE AFTERNOON. Thank you.
