Dear Families,
We've noticed some students arriving to school early and want to make sure the morning drop off routine ensures student safety. Our school doors open at 9:10, and line up with supervision begins at 9:00. Please be sure your students are not arriving before 9:00 unless accompanied by an adult.
Thank you,
Bridget Mowbray
