Library News
Idaho Battle of the Books
Safety Patrol News:
We are so proud of the Safety Patrol for braving the cold and keeping our students safe. Please be EXTRA ALERT when driving through the Cabarton intersection near the student drop-off parking lot. Please obey the stop signs.
Here's to our safety patrols this month!
Help us thank our patrols for the month: Eleanor Clegg, Karlee Gregory, Hazel Damour, Kaizer Fowler, Nora McLean, Nevaeh Harris, Jaycee Whiting, Seneca Lucich, and Reade Carpenter
Reminders: 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.
