DROP OFF AND PICK UP REMINDERS

Drop off and Pick up is curbside only. Please do not stop in the middle of the street to let students out or pick students up. Stopping in the middle of the road creates traffic issues and requires students to run out into the busy traffic to get into a vehicle and is not safe. THANK YOU for driving at slow speeds, paying attention to vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and pulling up curbside. Together we can keep students safe!
