Good weather and dismissal time safety reminder:

The good weather is heading our way. Just a reminder that students and families should avoid the driveway, roundabout island and staff parking areas at the end of the day. We want to make sure all of our buses have clear sight of students when leaving campus. Also please avoid the woods area as sticks and other things should be left where they belong and not near the playground areas. Thanks!
