STUDENT ARRIVAL-CAR DROP OFF LINE

Starting March 31st, students will be lining up outside again, unless there's inclement weather. If you are utilizing the car drop off line, please pull all the way ahead when dropping off. Your child can walk back to their door once exiting the car. Please do not stop at the middle school area to drop your child off, as that causes more of a back up. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

As we welcome the spring season, let’s hope for a decline in cold, flu, and strep cases! Remember, practicing good hand hygiene is the most important way to prevent the spread of viruses and communicable diseases. 👐
