PATRIOT PULSE
April 8, 2021
It was awesome to see so many of our students both in-person and on Zoom yesterday! We are off to a great start for 4th Quarter.
Parents, please click on the link below to read an important message from Dr. Roth regarding Erin's Law.
Car Riders
Grissom Drive is a one-way street going northbound during arrival and pickup. Cars need to stay in a single file line when picking up students. Cars should not come out through the Ad Center parking lot and then cut into the pickup line to proceed to the stop sign.
Cars should only park to drop off and pickup on 169th going eastbound. Cars should not be parking on the opposite side of the street going westbound. It causes too much of a danger for our students when crossing and getting into cars, and it backs up traffic when other cars and buses are trying to get through.
Thank you so much for your cooperation and willingness to keep our students safe and to help traffic move smoothly.
