Safety
Safety is one of my top priorities. With this in mind, there are a few things I need your help with.
1) Adults are not allowed to enter the building other than through the front doors after showing I.D. and checking in with the office.
2) When using the pick-up/drop-off area at the front of the school, please pull all the way forward, single file. Please do not double park, as this makes it very dangerous for our students.
3) You may not exit your vehicle in the red zone at the front of the school. Please use the parking lot if you are meeting your children or walking them to the door.
4) Students should not be dropped off before 8:30 (8:15 for those that eat breakfast).
4) Please remind your children to never talk to strangers and if they encounter a stranger and know something is not right, they need to run and get help.
I understand that sometimes the safety protocols we have in place seem like an inconvenience and take more time. Please know that we are simply trying to protect our greatest assets, your children.
