Important News
-Don't get caught off-guard. Now is the time to start dressing in layers to easily adjust to temperature swings and protect against the cold.
-Remember to bring your jackets, coats, gloves, and hats each day for recess. We will go outside if the windchill is above 30.
- Our doors do not open until 7:45am. Please drop off your child/ren after this time.
Drop Off/Pick Up
Pull all the way to the curb to pick up your child. This keeps the lane clear for other cars.
If you park across the street or on a side street, you must walk across the street to meet your child. DO NOT have your child walk across the street alone.
Remember that the church parking lot is available if the street out back is full.
Be respectful of our neighbors. Do not block their driveways or mailboxes.
Always follow all traffic laws. Drive slowly, obey all signs, do NOT stop in the middle of the street, and be aware of crossing guards.
