Morning drop-off reminder
Students do not need to wait for someone to open their door to exit to the curb.
As long as the line of cars is stopped and you are next to the curb, please have your student(s) exit on the curb side and walk along the sidewalk to the Pod 3 doors.
This will greatly improve the wait time and reduce tardies. Thank you!
Spelling tests are available online
