A Message from Mrs.Lockwood, our Principal
A couple reminders for drop off and pick up:
- Please pull the whole way forward when dropping off your child and waiting for pick up.
- Please do not be on cell phones in the drop off or parking lot area.
- Safety is our #1 priority so please use extreme caution and listen to staff as they are doing their best to make the process as smooth as possible.
Have a great weekend!
