We need your immediate attention to an important safety concern. Reckless driving in the Fremd parking lot is not only dangerous but also puts students, staff, and visitors at serious risk. Speeding, cutting off other drivers, ignoring stop signs, and other careless behaviors will not be tolerated.

Effective immediately, any reckless driving incidents may result in disciplinary action, loss of parking privileges, and possible law enforcement involvement. We urge all drivers to follow speed limits, obey traffic rules, and prioritize safety.

Let’s work together to keep our school community safe. Your cooperation is expected and appreciated.
