A Message from the Principal
What an amazing first few days of school! We're off to a great start for an amazing year!
Remember, starting Monday, we will begin counting tardies.
To help move our morning carline along, we. need a few things from you:
1. Ensure your child has everything they need and are ready to exit the car.
2. As soon as you are along the curb, your child should open the door and exit the car.
3. If your child needs help opening the car door, turn on your hazard lights so a staff member knows you need help.
4. After your child exits the car, pull out and over into the left hand lane so a new row of cars can pull forward.
Watch this video for a visual explanation.
Remember, the school doors open at 7:25. Students must be in the building by 7:45 to avoid being counted tardy.
