Please write your name on your cans and send them in to your teacher by Thursday, October 13. Thank you!

Got extra newspaper and/or unique items like bottle caps that may be used for art projects? Bring them to our Art Room #22. Have some spare time a couple of times per month to help in the Art Room? Stop by Room 22 and see Ms. Vorce to sign up!

Parking Lot Rules  
* No unattended parking in any of the three parking lanes from 2:00 - 3:00pm. 
* All three parking lanes are for immediate pick up only. 
* Stay in your car until your child comes out.
* Inform your child to come directly to the front of the school for 
pick up.
* If you go inside the school, park on the street or in the market parking  lot.
*The outermost drive through lane (the lane closest to the street) is for drive through only. Parking, waiting, or dropping off is never permissible in the drive through lane. 

Please obey the parking rules and listen to the Kiss & Ride volunteers and staff.  DO NOT block people's driveways or park in red zones or coned off areas. If you follow the rules and behave kindly, drop off and pick up move much smoother. Thank you.
