Dear Families,
We kindly ask for your cooperation to ensure the safety of all our students during morning drop-off. Please do not leave your car unattended or double park while dropping off your child.
These practices create safety hazards and traffic congestion, making it difficult for students to enter and exit the school property safely and for others to move through the drop-off and pick-up area efficiently.
To keep our students safe, please remain in your vehicle and use the designated drop-off zones. If you need to escort your child to the school entrance, we encourage you to park in a legal parking spot nearby.
Thank you for your understanding and commitment to maintaining a safe and smooth drop-off experience for everyone.
Sincerely,
Principal Kimberly Hill
