Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support as we implement these procedures to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and families.   We ask that all drivers use extreme caution when driving on school grounds.  Arrival and dismissal times are very busy and due to having one point of entry and exit, traffic can become congested.  
 
Please refrain from talking on your cell phone during arrival and dismissal, remain alert for busses, students on foot and on bikes, and please take care to follow the directions given by our supervising staff.
