End of Day Parking Log Changes
So, here is the scoop, if you are going to park and wait in your car to pick up your child/children please keep to the WEST, one row of cars wide. I have asked our staff to not park in the spaces in this area to allow more spaces for our parents to park. If you do park in a designated space - I would encourage you to get out of your vehicle to get your kids as we are not wanting them to run through the parking lot to your car without an adult.
I know this is confusing, so if you have questions, please grab me when I am out there OR come in or call! I can clarify in person way better!
Thank you to the people that commented on our survey in regards to this! I am very appreciative you took the time to comment so that we can work to keep our students learning and SAFE!
