IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER

Please remember, students should NOT be dropped off or picked up in the parking lot. This is incredibly important for the safety of our students and staff. Students and staff are regularly walking through this lot as they are dropped off by buses, heading the YMCA, or walking to the playground for morning recess. Vehicles driving in and out of the lot at these times is incredibly dangerous. Thank you for always to dropping off and picking up your student at the curbside, NOT in the parking lot. We appreciate everyone's commitment to keeping our Roosevelt community safe!
