Drop off/Pick up Tips and Reminders:
- Please park in lined spaces throughout the lot. Do not park along curbs or in front of any cones/barriers. If you do so we will ask you to move your car to a designated space.
- Please do not move any cones or barriers, they are there for a reason !
- Please maintain a safe speed when driving in the lot.
- If possible we suggest backing into the spaces, so when you are leaving you have a better view in front of you as others are walking in the lot.
- Make sure to hold you child's hand in the parking and/or keep them close by.
- Please make every effort to arrive on time. Children are marked late after 8:20.
- Make sure to contact the school if your child will be absent for any reason. Be reminded that a doctor's note is required if sick and absent 3 or more consecutive days.
While we are very fortunate to have a large parking lot for you to access during drop off and pick up, we all must do our part to maintain the safety of our children, staff, and each other. Thank you !!!
