We Need Your Help!
You can help keep our school and students safe! It takes us all!
1. We love when you visit our school! Please make sure you find a parking spot - we are lucky to have so many in the front of our school! The drive in front of our school is a fire lane, and we need to keep it clear for emergency vehicles. 7:50 arrival and 2:50 dismissal is the only time cars should be in this area.
2. Dismissal - Please make sure you are parking in a parking lot spot if you are picking up your child as a "walker" by our cafeteria. We ask that you exit your car, meet your child as they come out of the building, and walk back to your car. Students running across the parking lot to meet their parent at the car is not safe!
Parking on the street and waiting for your child after the cross walk is acceptable too, and we have many families that do that as well.
If you prefer to remain in your car the whole time, our car tag line (front of the school) is a better choice for you. Staff members walk your child to your car, and then you don't have to worry about a parking spot. Please see the front office for a car tag for your windshield.
The Cold Is Coming!
