Message from the Principal

Dear Carlton Families,

With more rainy days ahead, there will probably be lots of traffic at drop-off and pick-up times. If you must drive, leave your house 5-10 minutes earlier. Please be sure to pull up as far as possible in the drop-off/pick-up lane. In addition, students should be ready to hop out of the car with their belongings. Please do not put backpacks in the trunk. Kinder and TK students should not be dropped off in the drop-off lane because they must be walked to their classroom. Let's all work together to make drop-off as quick as possible so everyone can get to class on time.


Also, students can enter campus through gate F on Carlton Avenue near the track or through gate E, on the corner of Elester and Adonis Way. Due to safety concerns, the emergency exit gates along the back of the school should not be used to enter campus.


Thank you for your cooperation!


Mary Katayama

Principal
