Parking Lot Safety
As it becomes darker in the mornings, please prioritize using the drop-off lane closest to the building. This is the safest option for staff and students. We have had instances of unsafe driving in the parking lot drop-off lane. Cars should be using an abudance of caution driving through the lot and always look for walkers. Thank you for your help with this matter!

Educational Resources to Prevent Vaping in Minors
Many schools around the country are seeing an increase in the use of e-cigarettes, better known as "vapes," in minors. Students in younger and younger grades are experimenting with their use. While these are legal for adult use, they are incredibly addictive and harmful to minors. Throughout this year, I will include information related to preventing the use of vapes by our teens and pre-teens. Please reach out to our office if you are in need of additional resources or support in preventing the use of vapes by your child!
