Parking Lot Safety

As we begin the new year, I would like to address a couple of issues so that all students remain safe during arrival and dismissal.  With the cold weather upon us, more students are being driven to school.  We need to remember that parents may not pass other cars in the drop-off lane.  In addition, when exiting onto State Street, ALL VEHICLES must turn right onto State Street when leaving the drop-off/parking area.  Left-hand turns take too long and are holding up the driving lane considerably. 

Parents also have the option to pull into the parking area to drop off students.  However, if this happens, all students must be accompanied by an adult across the parking lot and cross-walk to the front office doors. 

Finally, we also have had many parents calling to change pick-up plans for their children. We are very happy to assist with this, but we need to receive all calls regarding this by 2:00 p.m.  If calls are received after 2:00 p.m., we cannot guarantee that students will receive the information before dismissal.


Thank you for your assistance!
