The weather this time of year can be unpredictable. Today we have sun, but yesterday at pick-up we were experiencing a downpour. No matter the weather, we must work together to navigate the parking lot safely for our children.
​
--NEVER, ever park in the drop off lanes. These lanes are for quick stops (less than 1 minute) for your child to enter/exit your vehicle.
--If you need to leave your vehicle for ANY reason, park in a parking spot. This applies before, during, and after school.
--Keep the crosswalk in front of the main office clear. Blocking the crosswalk creates an unsafe situation for our safety patrol students and those trying to cross.
--Keep your speed in the parking lot under 5 MPH.

Here's what came home in your child's Friday folder last week.
