Have You Reported Your Students' Absence?
Don't forget to call if your child is out sick. If you do not call it will be an unexcused absence.
Picking Students Up
Please drive into the parking lot to pick up or drop off your child whenever possible
Please DO NOT cross the street on Pleasant Avenue in front of the school buildings or in front of the parking lot
Please DO NOT MAKE A U-Turn on Pleasant Avenue. For the safety of our students we request that you leave the area that you parked in the same direction that your car is facing when you parked.
Parents who walk up must wait in the designated area.
Students and parents that walk up to the parking lot from the south (Tokay St.) should enter the parking lot near the field and follow the sidewalk around the parking lot. This will keep students and adults from crossing traffic as it exits and enters the parking lot.
Students will not be allowed to exit the parking lot without a parent or guardian present unless they are walking home
