Mr. Pappas Announcements
Dear Families,
We are having an issue with our bus lane driveway. Unfortunately the bus can not make the turn into the driveway when cars are parked along the curb in the red zone. Our buses are on a strict schedule and need to have full access to the driveway to keep to that schedule. This is where we can use your help. In order to continue to be able to use that area for drop off and pick up the following needs to take place.
1. DO not stop in the red zone at any time
2,. Do not double park in the driveway at any time
3. If you see the bus, pull all the way forward in the green zone to give it room to turn in
4. After 2:35 only use the main driveway in front of the school.
Please help us keep this option open for pick up and follow these rules.
Thank you,
Mr. Pappas
