Attention Kindergarten Parents:
Effective Tuesday, September 7th, Kindergarteners who are parent drop off in the morning will have a small change to their routine. Kindergarteners will continue to enter through the main door; instead of heading into the cafeteria they will walk straight into the main hallway. A black line has been placed on our lobby and hallway floor to help guide them.

Morning Drop Off Reminders
*Drop off begins at 8:15 am. Students must remain in vehicles until this time. This is extremely important! Staff will come out of the building at 8:15 am to signal the start of arrival.
There are two options to dropping off your student(s).
1. Follow the drive and pull up along the sidewalk. Staff will direct traffic to move ahead if possible. As soon as you are stopped please have your student safely and quickly exit the right side of the vehicle. *The quicker this happens, the faster we can move traffic through the campus.
2. Park in the gravel parking lot and walk your student to the crosswalk. Please do not have your student walk alone in the parking lot. It is a busy area and we want everyone to remain safe.
Please be patient and kind to others. We look forward to seeing you in the mornings!
