Please help parent drop off run smoothly and safely in the mornings-it is becoming a safety concern for everyone

NO adults may get out of their cars in the drop off line-this is for children who can exit the car independently.

If you child needs assistance you MUST park and use the crosswalk to walk your child across. NO ONE CAN EXIT THE CAR IN THE DROP OFF LINE

If you are waiting for the doors to open your car must be parked along the top, it cannot be in the drop off lane. No car in the drop off lane can be unattended

NO cars may park along the baseball field at any time-it is a safety hazard

Traffic flows one way only-in from Soundview and out to Willoughby

Please follow the directions given to you by ESS staff-they are in charge during the morning drop off while I am attending to the bus drop off lane

If you are having aunts/uncles/grandparents/friends doing the drop off, please share this message with them

Thank you for your help with this-Mrs Weber

Thanks for a great first week!

Please make sure all water bottles, lunchboxes and clothing items are labeled with your child's name. We have a large collection already

Enjoy the long weekend-see you Tuesday!
