Morning Car Rider Reminder
Each morning, car rider drop-off begins at 8:20 am. We request you enter the car rider line no earlier than 8:20 am and no later than 8:40 am. This is the time frame during which the line will be moving for arrival and ensures that your child will not be tardy for school.
Thank you for the pajama donations!
Thank you so much for your generosity! We collected 1,311 pairs of pajamas for Jambos and filled an entire collection bin!
