We are so happy to have two new 6th-grade squads this year. We have a few safety reminders for parents and students. We have had a few close calls with cars driving right past us and not stopping for pedestrians, please slow down and be safe. Please keep the crosswalks clear when parking near the four corners, by the bike rack crossing area, or in the parking lot. Our crossing guards will ask you to move your vehicle to a safe location. If you are riding your bike to school, please remember to walk it across the crosswalks. We have a small entrance to the rear parking lot and you must walk your bike from the four corners at Cabarton and be crossed by the patrol to the bike racks. Thank you for your support.
