Please Note:
Please note while dropping off in the AM please move all the way down. This allows for more students to get out at one time. Please do not let students off in cross walk, or in front of the gym. If you are picking up you must pick up on Pleasant Street, stay in your car. If you need a car family name sign, please go see Ms. Alicia in the office. The road blocks are approved by the Village and need to be followed. You can enter Pleasant Street down by Casey's. If your transportation changes please contact the office prior to dismissal.
