Message From the Community Club
Drop off and pick up reminders.
Before School - This is a reminder that students will remain outside the PAC entrance until 7:30. To help with de-densifying, students should be dropped off between as close to 7:50 as possible. We will serve breakfast from 7:30-7:55.
Don't forget you can drop your student off on Arbor Street and they can walk down to the doors. This will help with the congestion in the parking lot in the mornings.
After School - All Students need to be picked up and off school property by 3:30 unless they are working with a teacher or involved in an after school activity. If you are picking up along a street please make sure you are driving slowly and not weaving in and out of cars.
Finally, please follow all traffic rules and signs. The parking lot has one way arrows directing which way traffic should be going. Please do not ignore these, they are there for the safety of everyone!!
