Parking Lot Reminders

We are moving a lot of people on and off campus in a very short period of time. To make this safe and most efficient, please drive cautiously and pull all the way forward to drop off or pick up your child. Remember, we can't park on Eastland Rd and wait for our children to come out.

Thanks for your help in keeping us all safe.
