Thank You!
A big thanks to our families and school community for a great first 3 days of school. We appreciate everyone's patience as we have learning our new car line system.
A few reminders,
- In the morning, students may exit the car onto the curb between the two plastic neon green kid with flag signs. Please pull forward in the line to help maximize the number of cars able to unload at a time.
- In the afternoon, please pull up to the front of line when in the PreK-2nd grade line. This will allow us to load as many cars as possible.
- Please hang up your Car Rider Pro tag on the mirror. Having your Car Rider tag helps speed up the line.
YMCA Pick Up
For student safety, our YMCA pick up is now located at the side door that faces Main Street. Parking is available after 3:45 pm in the parking lot near the cafeteria at the corner of Main and North Streets. Please reference the map. Please use the YMCA Curbside Text System to alert staff that you have arrived.
Walking to Classrooms
Beginning August 22nd, parents wishing to walk a student to class will need to check in at the office and present a photo ID. The front office opens at 7:25am. Parents may walk their child to class from 7:25 am until 7:39am. At 7:40am, our instructional day begins.
For student safety, visitors are not permitted in the cafeteria during breakfast from 7:15am-7:40am.
