Weekly Update February 23, 2024
Pick up procedures reminder ๐
It has come to our attention that some parents are having their students walk out onto Memorial Drive and picking them up while in line to turn right into the school. Please do not pick up your student along Memorial Drive while in the line to turn into the school.This causes undue delay and unsafe conditions. We have also been informed there was an altercation between parents as a result!
If you do not want to wait in the line (which is less than 15 minutes once students come out front), then please arrange a safe place in one of the neighborhood streets to meet and do not pick up on Memorial Drive.

Mrs Lasich is looking specifically for kids magazines, news magazines, sports magazines, and strong interview magazines. If you have any you are willing to donate, you can drop them at the office or send in to Mrs Lasich.
