Monthly Reminders

Please Turn Off Your Engine at Pick-Up: It’s a No-Idle Zone

Health, Safety & Wellness Committee as well as Green Team are asking everyone to turn off their engines while waiting in the pick-up line. It’s a low effort, high yield way to protect our environment and model environmental responsibility for our kids, and it also makes it less hot and smoky for the kids and families walking by. Turning your car off will also keep things quieter and safer. Patrols will be gently reminding those in their cars. Thanks for helping make pick-up more pleasant for everyone!
