We encourage all parents to join and get involved with the PTSA. Research consistently shows that when parents are engaged, it leads to greater student outcomes. Together, we can make a significant impact on our students' success.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to working together this year!

For the Safety of the children keep traffic moving, please follow these reminders:

1. Pull all the way forward when you drop your child off. Do not block the staff parking entrance near the gymnasium.

2. Make sure students have their backpacks & belongings ready to exit when you stop. Drivers must remain in their vehicle at all times. Do not leave your car to open the trunk or help your children with their backpacks.

3. Do not sit and wait: Please refrain from using the phone which causes delays.

4. Do not double park along the drop-off lane, and make illegal U-turn before/after the drop-off lane.

5. Drop your kids off earlier. There is more congestion ten minutes before school starts.

Please, remember that drop-off in the circular driveway is only for our neurodiverse students who are meeting para educators, students with mobility issues, and the school bus.

Thank you for working with us to keep our students safe.
