Dear Parents/ Guardians,

To ensure the safety of all students, we kindly ask that you remind older students waiting for their kindergarten siblings to wait on the grass by the designated sibling cone. There is NO supervision at the kinder gate, so its important that students do not wait there.

As we continue to ensure a smooth and safe arrival and dismissal process for our students, we kindly as the following. During drop-off, please pull all the way forward in the drive-up line to fill in any gaps. We would also like to remind you not to block driveways while dropping off or picking up your students and to be mindful of the space you leave when parking in front or behind other vehicles to avoid blocking anyone in.

Your cooperation is essential in maintaining a safe and efficient environment for all.
