First Avenue
Richey Families,
Due to safety concerns, as of October 23, 2023, we are asking parents to no longer park on First Avenue closest to the school. No one was injured but we want to ensure that we are keeping our students safe as they are walking from school to home.
This street does not have sidewalks and our students have to walk in the street while cars are traveling in and out.
Please assist us with keeping our students safe as they are dismissed from school. You may park in a different location or you are able to join our carline.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Johnson or Ms. Burrows.
