REMINDERS
MORNING ARRIVAL
We have some safety concerns that need to be addressed. In the morning for arrival, parents are to enter the gravel driveway located next to the white house and the church on Madison Pike. Drop off will begin once your vehicle safely is next to the designated yellow cones. In order to unload in a timely manner, we ask that you do not wait to drop your student off until you reach the front door. Everyone must unload by the yellow cones. Also, for the safety of our students and staff, no one should be parking in the center of the lot to walk their child across the line of traffic. All students need to be dropped off in the drop off line exiting on the right side of the vehicle closest to the yellow cones. If you must assist your child with carrying an item into school, we ask that you please enter the drop off line and wait until you can safely pull into one of the 2 designated spots at the entrance of the school. No cars should be entering directly from the top lot. Thank you for your attention to this safety matter.
