Bus Lane Changes
The bus lane has been expanded at the front of the school to meet the space requirements for the extra buses we now have. The bus lane now extends all the way to the crosswalk past the A.L. Horton Elementary sign. We do not want anyone to have any issues with law enforcement, so please avoid parking in front of the school between 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.
AMA Patrollers on Duty!
We are fortunate that Mrs. Miller and her crew of AMA Patrollers are now on duty. They have a difficult task in keeping all our children safe at the crosswalks. Thank you for using the crosswalks instead of jaywalking and going through the buses. While walking and driving around A.L. Horton Elementary before and after school, thank you for obeying the commands of the AMA Patrollers and setting a good example for the school community.

Hot Dog Orders
A reminder that hot dog orders MUST be placed before 11 pm on the Sunday prior to the hot dog Wednesday. The order button on the Parent Portal will taken down every Sunday at 11pm and will be back up on Wednesday at 3pm so we can get our numbers in.
Emergency Drills
Over the next month, we will be rehearsing our emergency drills. These drills include fire, lock-down, hold and secure, shelter-in-place, and on alert. Practicing emergency drills is an integral part of school safety and being properly prepared for emergencies. Students will usually be notified in advance that these are in fact drills and not a real situation. The procedures that will be practiced and discussed are in preparation if a future event occurs at or around the school where these measures would need to be implemented to help keep everyone safe. If you have any questions about the drills, please feel free to contact Mr. Murray Howell, principal.
SCHOOL FEES
Fees for the 2024-2025 school year have been assessed. Please log in to your PowerSchool Parent Portal account to view and pay these fees. Fees are due within 30 days of being assessed. Fee payments can be made online via the PowerSchool Parent Portal using Visa or MasterCard, or in person at your child’s school. If you require assistance accessing your Parent Portal account, contact the school. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
