Parents! We still are experiencing many traffic pick up and drop off challenges. Some drivers are making unsafe maneuvers, such as reversing backwards towards the exit area and entering oncoming traffic to turn into entrances. This behavior is not only dangerous, but also creates unnecessary stress and frustration for everyone. Please remember to drive slowly, be patient, and follow all traffic laws. Help us in making students and other parents feel our school campus is a safe place. Click the headline to learn how we can all do our part in making drop off and pick up a safe experience. Thank you.
