Traffic Safety Awareness and Request
The safety of our faculty, staff, parents, guardians and students is of the utmost
importance. We ask that
you follow all posted signs, rules of the road, driving regulations and procedures.
Please do not use cell phones, make quick turns while crossing lanes, enter side streets too quickly i.e. Arkell Road, and Carriage Drive; or make sudden/indecisive stops. Please follow the single route flow of traffic while on campus, and if you are dropping off students in the morning, please do so between the cones at the front of our school.
Note: Please do not line up or park behind the gym and the "back 40s" classrooms to pick up your students. This impedes the flow of traffic and is a major safety concern.
Lastly, please follow all gestures and commands from our traffic/parking supervisors while entering and leaving campus. Thank you.

Sustainability: Share, Teach, Inspire
To support our commitment to sustainability, faculty artist Andrew Kjera

It invites the faculty to share, teach and inspire with the ways they are living out Pope Francis' call to care for our common home in his letter, Laudato Si'.
