Traffic Update
- Picking up or dropping off your kiddos? Spend a half an hour helping out our wonderful and fun traffic team one shift or more each week! Can’t commit?! Feel free to sign up to sub. Have questions?
- Fill out the Google Form and Volunteer Now!
- As a reminder: Kiddos need to be seated on the right side(curbside) or have access to get in and out curbside if you are utilizing the car line. Our volunteers can not for safety reasons for both the student and volunteer load or unload a student from the left side of the car.
- Please make sure all kids are ready to exit the vehicle before entering the parking lot: coats, hats, gloves, etc!
You may see our wonderful traffic team out setting up before 8:50 am. They aren’t quite ready to receive our wonderful students. Please arrive after 8:50 am. Please note there is no supervision until 8:50 am. Please make sure kids aren’t arriving before then as our traffic volunteers can not supervise.
Just a reminder there is no supervision until 8:50am so please do not drop your child off before then. The traffic team is not responsible for supervising your child.
